thanksgiving recap

I know I have been absent from here for a while, hopefully you had fun visiting some old posts while I was “away”.  Anyway, I’m back! And, I officially made my “holiday cook/bake list” – it had 207 recipes. Oh dear. So… I whittled it down to 65.  I think it will take me clear into 2012. But, that’s okay, I remember last New Years, when I posted egg-less egg salad and other healthy foods- you guys wanted more (a-hem) “fun” stuff.

SO!!! I did Thanksgiving, I did Black Friday, I did leftovers, and…. I’m almost done.

Holiday Breakfast Casserole and a giveaway

Holiday breakfast casserole and other Floridian tales…

A few days ago, I was asked to share a holiday memory and a recipe. Of course, the recipe part was easy- sort of. Deciding on which one to share was a bit hard- because honestly, there are so many tasty things that show up only [...]

pumpkin macadamia fudge

Pumpkin macadamia fudge- aka Fall that melts in your mouth.

Pumpkin fudge has been on my list for a few weeks now, and one morning, (actually… this morning) I made it. It was my breakfast also. But, I promise to eat all my veggies later.

Wait… Oktoberfest is tonight. Hmmm. I’ll eat all my cabbage, then. That’s a veggie, anyway.

It’s nice to be able to justify things like that.

pumpkin squares

 Pumpkin squares~ (n) also known as pumpkin pie for lunchboxes.

I made these, and as they baked my house smelled like a Yankee Candle.  You know, the pumpkin one.

And, no… Yankee Candle doesn’t know I exist.  I wish they did, because then maybe I could afford their candles. But, for now, I will just have to bake to make my house smell good.  Because, let’s face it: if I wrote a post about how I lit a brown-sugar-maple-glazed-pumpkin candle… well, what’s in it for y’all? At least this way, you get a recipe. Right? Right!

So, these made my house smell cozy. Which was great because it was rainy. We haven’t gotten “Fall” here. Fall in Florida is when the time changes and it’s below 85. Winter is when we have a few chilly frigid days that may fall below 40 …. Spring is when it’s just about perfect,except for the losing of an hour with the time change, and Summer is when you melt when you go outside.

People think south Florida doesn’t have a season change. Ha!

You just have to tune in to the subtle changes.  So, yesterday it was rainy, and the calender said it was Fall. I need to put out my Halloween decorations now.  Or, should I wait until October 1st? My neighbor had theirs up Sept.9th….

I always find it amusing to see skeletons and ghost decorations next to Angels and Santa’s.
