This is a treat I make most years around Christmas time. It's very easy, rich, and delicious. I made a double batch, using a 9" x 13" pan, cut it into smaller pieces, and I'm taking most of it into work. :-)

Another fall tradition, I made pumpkin chocolate chip cookies this evening, as Shaun wanted some. We were talking about how the highs are only going to be a bit above freezing this weekend and that maybe we should make some chili or some homemade chicken noodles, and then the ...

This is an incredibly easy and relatively healthier cake. Just take an 18 oz box cake mix (I chose devil's food, but spice is also very good) and one 15 oz can of pure pumpkin and beat together. Don't add anything else. It will form a thick ...

We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner, and finished it off with pumpkin pie. I got some organic canned pumpkin this year that just seemed much tastier than the usual kind. I follow the recipe on the Libby can, but modify the spices to our tastes.

Tonight was a resounding bust for dinner. Two packages of rancid meat, well before their sell-by dates, let alone use-by. So irritating. We ended up ordering Chinese, but I did make this quickie apple topping and some bisquick biscuits for dessert. I'm sure it would go great ...

This is very loosely based of of a recipe I saw for a Cherry Lemon Custard Tart on some Food Network show a few years ago. If you don't have a cherry pitter, a drinking straw works well, but is somewhat flimsy. I ended up using a little ...
