Pumpkin Spice

It's that time of year when I don't need an excuse to make something with pumpkin - it's pretty much expected.  I'll be posting pictures of my Thanksgiving pumpkin pie soon, but first I wanted to share another delightful treat I made recently... Pumpkin Whoopie Pies.

Growing up in the Midwest, I had never heard of whoopie pies until college (thanks Rach!).  But my oh my are they delicious!  They're like little hand-held cupcake tops with icing... except mine came out bigger than usual and were a little larger than my palm - oops!  That's what I call a tasty accident.  I just love these pumpkin whoopie pies with sweet cream cheese filling.  They are moist and delicious and I could eat a whole plate of them.  Well, maybe not a whole plate, but they are super tasty and just remind me of all my favorite things about fall.

Savory Scones

These cheddar and chive scones are a departure from my usual sweet treat, but they are soooooooooo good!  They're great with some eggs and bacon, or warm with a little butter.  I have made them before using dill instead of chive, and those were really good too.  But I'm not much of a dill kinda gal, and I must say that I really like the combination of the sharp cheddar, onion-y chive, and buttery scone.  And the best part is there are so many different combinations you could make by using different herbs or types of cheese.

I Heart Cake

I'm a cake girl.  All shapes, sizes, and flavors - it really doesn't matter, I love them all.  Red velvet (with cream cheese frosting of course) happens to be a favorite of mine, and one of my coworkers.  So when his birthday came up recently, I decided to make jumbo-sized cupcakes to take into the office.  Just to give you an idea of scale, I put a cupcake next to a large honeycrisp apple so you can see just how ginormous they were!  They were over twice the size of a regular cupcake, which just means there was twice as much tastiness to enjoy!
