Roast Beef Rolls

So if you've been wondering what you're going to take to that up-coming Christmas potluck, wonder no more! I make this recipe for nearly every potluck, and no matter how many I bring, they are always one of the first things to go.  They are even easier than their ham-and-cheese counterpart that you're probably familiar with - only 6 ingredients! And even more delicious :o) I also always make these to serve with my Loaded Potato Soup (recipe to come). Promise you'll love 'em!

Darlin' Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes

 

If you're looking for a super delicious and easy dessert for this Thanksgiving, I definitely recommend giving these darlin little pumpkin spice cupcakes with cream cheese icing a try! They are heavenly! I adapted this recipe from a bundt cake recipe I found on www.cdkitchen.com. I added the cream cheese icing, which I think kinda makes them, but you could easily leave the icing off and just call them Pumpkin Muffins (which is EXACTLY what I did when I ran out of icing.)

 

It's Fall Y'all

These pics are a compilation from my last few events.  Hopefully it will inspire you for Thanksgiving - just a few more days!!!  I LOVE Thanksgiving - it just might be my favorite holiday.  I'm kind of a food fanatic, so of course, that's at the top of the list, but I also love that it's the beginning of the Christmas season.  It gets me excited about decorating, shopping, baking, listening to Christmas music, eating on Christmas dishes, watching the 25 Days of Christmas....I'm giddy just thinking about it!  You know I'm looking forward to an entire month of Christmas posts ;o)

First, a fall-themed wedding.  Those bright-colored nosegays would be precious nestled in some white pumpkins sitting all in a row down the center of a table!

For Better or Worse

Ok, so let me start with a disclaimer - what you are about to see are NOT before/after pics, they are only progress shots.  Things have been moving slowly around here lately.  There's just so much for two of us to do, and really my poor hubby has been doing the bulk of it alone for the past few months.  But, hooray - back to work today!!  We piddled around, caulking, fixing gutters, hanging hooks and toilet paper holders - nothing big or exciting, but enough to motivate me give you all another little peek into the chaos that is currently our life ;o) 

So, let's do this.  If you will remember, here is the "before"
