Halloween Fun

Happy day after Halloween! I’m already thinking I have to throw out our bucket of Halloween candy so that I don’t eat it all day long. #workfromhomeproblems Just a few pics to share our weekend festivities.

Pumpkin Cake Batter Blondies

Pumpkin Cake Batter Blondies

If cake batter blondies and pumpkin bars had a baby, it would be these pumpkin cake batter blondies! The best of both worlds with the dense consistency of blondies and white chocolate chips with the fall favorite pumpkin spice, you can’t go wrong! I’ve been on a bit of cake batter blondie kick lately so

Fall TV is Here! Better Things Giveaway

Fall is by far my favorite season. At least in the Midwest, it’s the best weather of the year, the re-introduction of cozy clothes, the start of college football season (Go Hawks!), time for pumpkin spice everything AND last but certainly not least, the start of the new TV season! While many of my favorite

Chocolate Swirled Pumpkin Bars

Chocolate Swirled Pumpkin Bars

These chocolate swirled pumpkin bars are a perfect combination of pumpkin and chocolate, a nice alternative to the traditional pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting.  A month or so ago, I picked up a copy of Fall Baking from Better Homes and Gardens on a table at work (I work for the company that publishes

My Friday Five – We Love Fall!

1. Daylight Savings Time Adjustment – this week’s daylight saving’s time change has really thrown me off. Hopefully I’m at the tail end of waking up way too early and tossing and turning. I forgot how dark it gets early now though. Winter is coming. It did produce a huge moon over the Iowa State
