Tweet Happy National Pumpkin Day! I’ve posted a lot of pumpkin recipes lately (doughnuts, cookies, cupcakes, and creamer to name a few), but I can’t resist this quintessential fall flavor. What better way to celebrate its day than with some delicious cookies? When I was working on finding the right balance of spices for my homemade pumpkin pie spice,...

A roundup of Halloween recipes from Sacramento Connect food partners.

When I was at the grocery store the other day, shopping for my chicken dinner, I noticed that it was THAT time of year.  The time when there are about 25 varieties of apple, all on sale, along with several kinds of pear…all on sale. What I’m telling you is that I succumbed to...

It’s FRIDAY. Oh my goodness…what a busy week! 1. Online BlogCon is over. Sniff. I’m so sad it’s done! It was probably one of the best things I’ve ever done. I learned SO much and made so many new friends…plus I got to be even better besties with Ashton. Win-win. That said, I’m kind...

My quick bread is partly the result...

There are tons of flavored creamers in yummy flavors like pumpkin spice and peppermint mocha, but most have some questionable, unpronounceable ingredients. Instead I usually opt for plain old half and half or milk, but every once in...

I have a confession to make: these cupcakes were almost purchased from the store instead of made by me. Let me rewind. Here’s the story: I’m kind of a yes-mom. Can you take my kid home from school? Yes, no problem! Can you be the food chair of Bingo night? Sure, why not? Can...

October is party month: birthday parties, Oktoberfest parties and lots and LOTS of Halloween parties. Parties require party food. My favorites are cute-bite sized treats that your guest can pick up with one hand so they don't have to put...
