Busy, Busy, Busy...

No, I didn't post yesterday- I'm sorry :-)

I feel so busy... been making treats for our upcoming "Thankful" Party:

Remember I posted these a few weeks ago?

Pumpkin Cookies

I made them- they are delicious!  I still need to ice them but even without icing they are wonderful :-)

These are just downright awesome!

Pumpkin Cupcakes with cream cheese icing- Eeeek!  I love them...

Already made the dough for Ginger Snaps... Hoping to bake them today...

Anyway... have you been making any yummy treats for fall recently?

How's your Thanksgiving menu going... I need to get ours started!  :-)

It's Cake Day One!

Day one.

Today I am going to bake the cakes and make the various kinds of icings-

thin consistency for the filling, crumb and final layers, and medium for all my decorations.

(I'll post the recipe soon- hang tight!)

(I apologize for the terrible lighting in our kitchen- just bear with me please!  :)  )

You can't see all the cake mixes or the bags of powdered sugar in the photos but there are 6 mixes and 4 bags of sugar (and I'm having Momma pick up some more- eek!)...

You can probably see that the eggs have "reserved" written on them... hee hee!

Yes- I know, I know- nothing that I am using is natural, organic, or any other type of "healthier" choice.  I wish that it could be "better for you" but (a)I don't want anything to get messed up with weird consistencies or flavors that come from inexperience in working with that kind of thing, and (b) how many times in your life do you eat wedding cake?  A teensy bit of GMO ain't gonna kill you, right?  :)  (I can hear the gasps...)

Oh well... I'm off to don my adorable black, white, and pink apron (yay!) and sneakers (my feet kill me on the tile when I work in the kitchen all day!) and start my long day in the kitchen.  But first things first- I'm making these for breakfast before any cakes get made :)

I'll let ya know how things go ;)

Recently I had the pleasure of making an old favorite recipe to bring to a friend's house for dinner.  I love this recipe so much that I absolutely MUST share it with you all.  You HAVE to try it now- no backing out of this one- you are looking at it- you have to make it now and if you don't like it DON'T EAT ANOTHER BITE- send it to me and I will dispose of it properly.  (I can tell you right now though- I'm pretty sure you'll like it :)  )

 

Chocolate Toffee Goodness

 

Ingredients:

 

40 saltine crackers (about one sleeve, Do not use unsalted)

1 cup butter (2 sticks)

1 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

11 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (or one package)

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and begin heating the butter in a medium saucepan to melt.

Cover a jellyroll pan with foil; grease the foil and lay down the saltines.

 

Once the butter is melted, add the brown sugar.  Stir and bring to a gentle boil.

 

Boil for 3 minutes. Add vanilla extract and stir...

Pour over prepared saltines and spread.

 

Bake for 10 minutes in preheated oven.

Immediately after you remove it from the oven sprinkle the chocolate chips over it.

Let the chocolate chips sit for several minutes until they look gooey and melty... (I don't think that's a word but you get my meaning :) )

Once this occurs, take a spatula and spread the chocolate evenly.

Now put it in the freezer for about 30 minutes or until the chocolate is set.

Break it up into pieces... and dig in!

(I hope you don't get mad at me after you try this- it may become an addiction...)

Enjoy!
