Pumpkin Cheesecake

slice 2If you love pumpkin, but you are kind of looking to do something other than pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, this might be your lucky day. All decked out for the dessert table, it is quite a showstopper. Here’s where you get to use those caramelized nuts I shared recently for something other than stuffing in your face. 🙂

Caramel Apple Cheesecake Bars

insideI cannot think of a dessert I like more than this one right here right now.

I make these bars every fall, and I know they are good, but I forget just how good until I take a bite and experience the bliss. These bars have so much texture and flavor going on. I will try to explain.

Pumpkin Spice Bread Pudding and $100 Winner

*Thank you to everyone who celebrated my 100th post with me by entering to win a $100 gift card from amazon.com. I have announced the winner at the bottom of this post.*

french toast biteI’ve mentioned before how much I have always enjoyed bread pudding. This pumpkin spice bread pudding is bread pudding all decked out for the season. It is made with pumpkin spice egg nog rather than the usual milk or cream. The original recipe labeled this as overnight french toast, so you could definitely use it as a special breakfast treat during the upcoming holidays, or serve it as bread pudding for a festive dessert. It is great anytime.

100 seems like a special number. We celebrate 100th birthdays and anniversaries and days of school, so why not 100 blog posts?

100 posts might not seem like a big deal to many people, but to me, it is a reason to celebrate, a reason to reward the people who have been with me for the beginning steps of this journey. I love sharing recipes and life with you and hope there will be many more posts yet to come.

Caramelized Nuts

caramelized nuts 2I have already posted these nuts with the strawberry spinach salad I posted last spring, but they are seriously so good, I have to give them their own post.

Caramelized nuts.

Crunchy…sweet…buttery… Completely addictive.

A taste of heaven, if you will.
