  1. So quick and easy and tasted amazing, I will keep my eye out for these cookie mixes!! Love all the pecans.

  2. My favorite season is autumn and I have two deserts that I am absolutely crazy about. The first is Fresh Apple Cake. It’s my mom’s recipe, but I tweak it by putting my own spin on it. I have a great time experimenting with the texture, spices and varieties of apples that I use.

    My other favorite is simply called Pumpkin Bars! They are incredibly moist and have a cream cheese icing. Believe me, they are decadent! People who don’t like pumpkin will usually east these.
