Pumpkin, Eggnog, Dulce de Leche Tiramisu

Its what you do when you can't make up your mind. Ladyfingers dipped in eggnog and the fluffy mascarpone, pumpkin whipped cream squished between them, all topped with homemade dulce de leche drizzle.....so good your wyws will roll back and you will either make a gutteral moan or swear, guaranteed!
Use a pumpkin tiramusu recipe ( with mascarpone not cream cheese) and just modify it to be your own, tiramusu is forgiving.

Apple Ring Pancakes

Taking pancakes (and apples) to the next level! Batter should coat the apples but not be too runny. I like to put cinnamon in the batter. These are a huge breakfast hit!

Thanksgiving Turkey Craft

Halloween Piñata....Sourdough

After we made our flour & water paper mache and covered our balloon I, true to form, didn't feel like cleaning up....at all. So a whole day (and a half) passes, balloon is dry, and I notice something magical, a procrastination reward!! My leftover pot of paper mache has become a festering yeast pool AKA sourdough starter! Had I cleaned this pot in good housewifely time I would not have been granted such reward! So I made paper mache sourdough bread. As I am telling my husband about the origins of this wonderful creation we are eating with our dinner he reminds me that I dipped the entire Times Herald into the batter, strip by strip, and suggests that maybe I tell the story in reverse, so as to not seem gross. Well maybe I am gross because it had not even crossed my mind nor did it bother me in the least. What is more important is the moral.

DIY Pine & Cone Wreath

Hot glue beads onto the different types of pinecones and string them onto a coat hanger, lamp shade ring or floral wire.  Wind in piney bits, add a bow and voila!
