YumI'm really trying to hop aboard the pumpkin train, though it left the station without me many years ago. While I've given up on mushrooms and beets, I think there's still hope for this pretty and versatile winter squash.

cookies and kongs (and a krusteaz #giveaway)
YumI wish I could say I was the kind of person who was so serious about cooking that she never took shortcuts in the kitchen, but that would be a lie. Sometimes, nay, most of the time, I appreciate a quick fix.

where's the beef? (and a giveaway)
YumWhen you think about Hickory Farms, a basket full of sausage, cheese, and pears is probably what comes to mind. However, they're about more than just meat and cheese. They supply fruit and nuts, wine, and sweets too.

farms of hickory (and an awesome giveaway)
YumI think my new favorite item to make is the upside-down cake.
Granted, there aren't quite as many things that you can change up as in cheesecakes, but its potential for versatility is still pretty great. Plus, there's that small added bonus of being something I actually enjoy eating...
