Cinnabon Cinnamon Rolls

Have you ever had a Cinnabon Cinnamon Roll?

They're really, really yummy!

But you know what? These are really, really yummy too!

I found this recipe over at Life in the Lofthouse blog.  Have you been by to see Holly? She has an amazing blog with lots and lots of yummy recipes.  Stop by and tell her I said hi :)

Classic Pumpkin Pie

Out of all the holiday pies out there I think I love a Classic Pumpkin Pie the most.  It is my hubby's favorite and my daughter has a fondness for pumpkin pie too.

This is a very easy pie to make and I've been using the recipe right off the Libby's 100% Pure Pumpkin for years.

I know some people like to add nuts, or sweetened condensed milk or other items but I use the Famous recipe as is and it turns out every time!

Homemade Chili

Well Fall has officially arrived!  We've finally been having some blustery days and the nights are downright freezing!

When the weather get so cold I like to put on a big pot of homemade chili and bake up a batch of cornbread to go along.

The past few weeks have had me making lots of yummy comfort foods.  I made a BIG pot of my delicious Chicken Enchilada Soup, a smaller pot of my scrumptious
Chicken Tortellini Soup and now this hearty Homemade Chili to go along with all the meals to keep you nice and toasty when it's cold outside.

Sweet Potato Pie with Pecan Praline Topping

With the holiday's around the corner I thought it was time to make some pie!

I love classic pumpkin pie and so does my family but I've been wanting to make a sweet potato pie for years.  I think it's a southern pie but who says us westerners can't make great southern food too?!

I already had a great recipe in my Sweet Potato Casserole and thought it would taste great in a crust so I tweaked the recipe for a pie and came up with my newest favorite pie in my repertoire.

Classic Apple Pie Re-Do

I have a confession to make.....

I have totally changed my way of thinking on Apple Pie and what kind of apples you need to use to make a great one!  Yikes!  I know.

For years you've probably read about my preaching on how Granny Smith are the be all end all apples for apple pie, but the truth is there are all kinds of great apples for baking and I just never knew this until recently.

I always used my mom's recipe for apple pie until about a year ago.

Chicken Tortellini Soup

I'm always on the lookout for new ways to make soup, because I LOVE soup!

And I'm talking all year long too.  Not just soup in the winter.

I can stroll into Panera in the blazing 110 degree weather and STILL get the broccoli cheddar soup ~ YUM!

I thought it was about time I created a few new ones of my own and this is the second one I've made lately and they were both amazing!

This one was so delicious I actually ate a bowl for breakfast the day after I made it, lol.
