Day 4 - Make Pumpkin Coffee Creamer

So even though it most definitely doesn't feel like fall here, I am going to continue my Pumpkin/Apple October.  Today I made a pumpkin spice coffee creamer.  I found this recipe on Pinterest also.  To get the recipe, click here.  It was good but what I didn't like was that the spices settled to the bottom of your cup making the last sip pretty gross.  It was super easy to make and took less than 5 minutes.  Probably way better for you than the bought creamers; however, I am not sure I will make it again.  The bought creamers definitely taste better.

Day 3 - Make Applesauce

Today I helped my best friend make applesauce for her freezer.  I had previously made some for myself.  We used Cortland apples and for a few of the batches we added cranberries. 

Day 2 - Pumpkin Chocolate Muffins

This morning  I whipped up a batch of Pumpkin Chocolate muffins.  They are super easy because they only have 3 ingredients:  box of devils food cake mix, 15 ounce can of pumpkin and a bag of chocolate chips. The best part about these muffins are they really aren't that bad for you!  My muffins don't look as pretty as they should because I was kinda lazy about putting the batter into the muffin tin.  That's what happens when I try to bake at 7:30 in the morning. 

Day 1 - Pumpkin Oatmeal Chip Cookies

It seems that the only way I post on here is if I make myself do something every day.  Since fall is my absolute favorite time of year, I decided I would attempt to create something apple or pumpkin each day for the month of October.  Today I made Pumpkin Oatmeal Chip cookies from a recipe I found on Pinterest.  You can find that recipe by clicking here.  Of course, I had to taste one and they are pretty good with only a hint of pumpkin.

Happy New Year!

We spent a quiet New Year's Eve at home with the kids and my nephew.  This was the first year we let the kids stay up to midnight.  We made lots of yummy snacks, played some games & watched a couple movies.

Still going strong!

Happy New Year!  Hope it's a great one!
