Well, guys and gals, today is election day and I need snacks!

I was at the Dollar general about a few weeks ago and they already had their Christmas gear in stock. Seriously? Who is going to buy a wreath in the middle of November?Whatever. I can’t complain about the beginning of fall foods, though. I love the tastes of Autumn, and I love this pumpkin pie dip. I also love election day but it stresses me out!

If you haven’t ever tried this dip, you are truly missing out. it is rich, creamy, and decadent. I love the spicy flavors that are intermingled in this dip with cream cheese and pumpkin puree. It is “puree” heaven, my friends!

This spiced pumpkin dip is heavenly and i know you are going to love it. Serve it with gingersnaps or graham crackers. my son likes to eat it with apple slices.

Growing up in Michigan, I had honestly never heard of a baked apple.

Now, I’m not saying the folks up there don’t eat baked apples, but it certainly wasn’t a staple at anyone’s house that I’d ever been to. Once I met my husband and we moved to his home state of Pennsylvania, it became baked apple mania. That rhymes, haha! People here are crazy for baked apples. It’s definitely a favorite fall-time treat.

The first time I had one was at my husband’s aunt’s house during Thanksgiving dinner. It was so tender and sweet!

There are a ton of fall festivals in Pennsylvania and every single one of them hosts multiple baked apple stands. Each vendor personalizes their recipe a bit so that it stands out from the others. I like them all 🙂

Quick Tip: If you don’t have a slow cooker, feel free to bake your apples in the oven.

Hot and bubbly fruit cobbler is a holiday tradition at my house.

As a kid, my mother always made fruit cobblers for the holiday season. She had raspberry, blueberry, and often times, peach. Sometimes, mom would add nuts to her cobblers, too.

I found the following recipe over on the Cusine City blog. it debuts the yummy flavors of strawberry, apple, and hazelnut. Who could ask for a better combination of yumminess? Surprisingly, this recipe is pretty healthy for you as it uses whole ingredients. Now, don’t let that deter you from making this delicious cobbler as I assure you that it tastes amazing.

Here’s Our Secret To The Perfect Holiday Mini-Dessert!

These cute little holiday treats are as easy to make as they come. With fresh strawberries, and a little dash of creamy goodness, they’re nutritious and delicious!

Not to mention the brownies, which makes these perfect for all chocoholics, too! This recipe uses a store-bought brownie mix (which makes this even easier) but feel free to make your favorite homemade brownie batter instead, if preferred. Buy some pretty little boxes, and give them away as gifts, for the holiday. Whatever you do, they’re cute, creative, and a crowd pleaser!

I’m so glad I came across Jen’s recipe and I’m pretty sure we are going to be making these Santa hat brownies every year, from now on. The kids were crazy about the test batch I made! I can’t wait to give these as gifts to our neighbors and friends over the holidays.

When my sister was little, she absolutely loved the cartoon Strawberry Shortcake. She had every little doll and every movie and adored all of her things. During that time, she found out that Strawberry Shortcake was actually a dessert. So, naturally, she wanted it. And once she tried it, she wanted it every day.

While strawberry shortcake is usually considered a summertime dessert, I found the perfect recipe that turns it into a festive treat! No baking involved, and the if you’re using mason jars they make the servings super pretty. The perfect match for kids and adults alike who love these flavors. It’s easy and simple and it is extra tasty and pretty fun to eat!

Kids love the colors in it, and if you’re not a fan of strawberries you could always use cherries or pretty much any kind of fruit or berries for this!

This sponge cake recipe is a must-know for every woman.

My mother has always said that a girl needs to have a basic knowledge of any recipe in the kitchen. It’s because these basic recipes are actually what will help you create the more complicated recipes. She told me that if I want to make a complicated stew, I should know how to make a basic beef stew. If I want to make a really beautiful cake, I should be able to make a simple pound cake or a simple sponge cake, which are mostly the base for most cakes.

My mom has her own sponge cake recipe, but I figured that sometimes, I need to find something on my own. This sponge cake recipe is what I found. It’s very simple and very easy to make, but you will be surprised at how well it will turn out. Just follow all the steps indicated and you will have your perfect sponge cake by the end of it all.

This sponge cake recipe gives you the best moist sponge cake that I have ever tasted. Everyone will surely fall in love with this once you serve it to them. Other than that, you can make this simple sponge cake into a full-blown cake if it’s a special occasion!

Quick tip: The sponge cake will bake better if you don’t use a convection oven, meaning use heat coming from top and bottom only. Also, do not open the oven until the baking time is over.
