I got this recipe from the website Brown and Bridal from someone who has become a friend of mine, Shaz. Check out her blog, On My Way to Fabulous and 40. This dish was flavorful and not hard to make. I especially liked the butter/lemon/almond topping. It didn’t turn into the sauce I was looking…

Slow Cooker Turkey Chili
At one point, it was cooling off in Georgia. Over the weekend, the temperature was in the low 70s. It’s hard to do menu planning when the temperature is all over the place. I did prepare this recipe some days ago when it was cooler so it was perfect for the weather. I only used…
SMS: Butter Toffee Crunch
No, I didn’t forget that today was Sunday. I just hadn’t made today’s Sweet Melissa Sunday recipe until today. Today’s host is Kaitlin of Kait’s Plate. She choose Butter Toffee Crunch, and the recipe is posted on her blog. I am not a candy maker. Luckily, I had a candy thermometer. I will admit I…

My second batch of cookies for this month’s Baking GALS would have another fall flavor: pumpkin. There are so many pumpkin cookie variations out there, but this one is rather simple. There was supposed to be an icing on the cookies, but I didn’t know how well that would handle while shipping. The cookies were…

Yes, it’s that time again for Baking GALS. I first participated in September and unfortunately had to skip October due to being on vacation, but I am back with two batches of cookies. I explained more about Baking GALS here. The one difference is that there was a Team Oven Loving for the Recovering: East…
Margarita Cupcakes
I wanted to have one type of cupcake for people to eat once they arrived to the Cupcake Fun for Big Girls. I have had this recipe in my Google reader since the summer and thought this would be the perfect time to bring it out. Margarita CupcakesAdapted from Good Things CateredYields 1 dozen cupcakes…
Caramel Buttercream
I decided to go with an easy, quick recipe for caramel buttercream for the turkey cupcakes for “Cupcake Fun for Big Girls”. This Wilton recipe proved to be easy, but didn’t have the caramel taste I was looking for. I ended up adding more caramel sauce just so it would darken in color as well…

They were okay; I think I would have liked even more vanilla flavor though. Magnolia’s Vanilla CupcakeAdapted from Food Network Ingredients:1 1/2 cups self-rising flour1…
