halloween countdown day 8, ouija board giant cookie and the craft I have no problem admitting I’m a huge chicken. I have never been in the same room as a ouija board. I wanted to, it seems like a crazy, amazing experience, but nope. I have seen the Exorcist stairs in Georgetown enough times growing […]

grocery store cookies
halloween countdown day 7: lofthouse style cookies and frankenstein I wanted to start this blog mentioning that old show, “Kids Say the Darndest Things,” where kids would answer questions presented by the host in innocent, earnest and for anyone who has spent a millisecond with a child, completely predictable ways…Then I thought about who […]
Waffling
Halloween Countdown Day 6, waffles and charlie brown After making red, white and blue waffles for Bastille Day, I felt kind of like that guy who makes one good joke and repeats it forever, and ever and ever, and I was like, “how can I color waffles for every holiday, ever?” It really is the […]
cookie phone home
october count down day 5, pretzel cookies These cookies are like a cookie’s version of dressing up for Halloween. Or maybe a pretzel’s way of dressing up like a cookie for Halloween? I’m not sure. But I do know they are fun, they are a break from sweet on sweet, and they are something a […]
pumpkin with pumpkin frosting cupcakes
October countdown day 4 pumpkin cupcakes with pumpkin cream cheese frosting and Garfield’s Halloween Adventure! More is more, and when it comes to pumpkin, these cupcakes have it all over- not just in the cake but in the frosting, too!

What is more satisfying than the crunch of a caramel coated, slightly salty kernel of puffed up corn? Nothing, that’s what. A movie night with caramel corn is an event in […]
cinderella’s coach as a bundt
For day two of the halloween countdown, you know pumpkin spice had to make an entrance. This is a super easy, but super festive bundt cake. It makes me think after the ball, maybe Cinderella chopped up her left over pumpkin coach and made this wonderful cake and didn’t even feel that bad about losing […]
vampire twinkies
To kick off the 31 days until halloween, try these jet black twinkies- just like the ones you sometimes can (or sometimes can’t – remember when the halt of twinkie production was the biggest worry we had? ahhh good old days.) buy at the store, but with a halloween makeover! A note, though, these use […]
poaching pears
In the weeks before crazy candy season kicks off the time of year for over doing it with decadent holiday puddings, it is the perfect time for poaching pears. A very long time ago, some enterprising or very drunk lady from Beaujolaise France probably poached the first pear in red wine. The result, a really […]
