I don’t know whether it’s just a cold front or actual fall weather, but it’s in the 50s today in North Carolina, and I’m absolutely loving it!
Hello, pumpkin spice latte. Nice to see you again, apple cider muffin. Welcome back, boots and scarves.
I’ve been waiting all year for this.
My apartment is decked out in reds, oranges, and yellows, and my living room smells like pumpkin pie, courtesy of Yankee Candle.
I absolutely love fall.
This should come as no surprise to you.
I break out my box of fall decorations and scented candles at first hint of cooler weather. Pumpkin becomes a suitable substitute in just about every recipe (pumpkin oatmeal, anyone?) I stop at every pumpkin patch I pass in search of the perfect pumpkin. Apple cider becomes a staple on my grocery list.
So why, you may ask, am I giving you a recipe that is very clearly for a summer pie?
My husband grew up in Wisconsin.
He likes whole milk. And cheese. And bratwurst. And custard. (more…)
Sometimes my kitchen experiments are instant feats of culinary genius. Beautiful 3-layer cakes with fluffy marshmallow frosting. Delicate pink champagne cupcakes. Adorable lion cake pops. Truly delectable bakery treats.
Friends, this is not one of those times.
