Lemon Twist Hummus and Zucchini Bread

The kids are back in school, after school sports are in full swing and we seem busier than ever. We're still trying to enjoy every second of the summer weather though and our garden is finishing up from a great harvest. We're typically not as good about preserving things from the garden, but this year we tried to stay on top of it and we've got rows and rows of freshly canned tomato soup, pickles, jalapenos, carrots, onion and zucchini in our food storage. The zucchini is still growing and we shred and freeze as much as we can.

Baked Apple Dumplings

Let's do Fall right this year. That means lots of apples and pumpkins. So let's start with apples this week and then I'm going to have an awesome pumpkin recipe coming up next.

We're going to take an apple and make it anything but healthy. As in, even though there's still some fruit in this, there's no way it can be described as anything but, hide in your closet and eat two of them and love every second of it, indulgence.

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Pancakes

Sometimes time just gets away from you. I've always been a busy person. Not necessarily hectic, run all around the place type busy, but busy. I like side projects and lots of things going on that I can be involved in, but the month of October just got away from me. Full time job, trying to launch a new business, wedding, travel, foster kids and a major professional certification exam.

Spiced Cider Donuts

I'm going to throw these doughnuts in the middle of my Thanksgiving series, well because they're pretty amazing and I wanted to post them before I forgot about them. As most people know, I usually only make yeast based donuts and I make a lot of them. There's just not much that can compare with the light, airy goodness of a yeast donut. These Spiced Cider Donuts will be a close second though.
