Pumpkin Bread

Pumpkin Bread

What’s fall without pumpkin bread?  Seriously – if you don’t like pumpkin, sorry, but what is wrong with you?  If you’re not from New England, and you don’t like pumpkin, then you get a free pass.  I could literally eat pumpkin bread every day of the year, but I somehow hold off until the fall.  When I was in college, I looked forward from that finals week care package, filled…

Banana Muffins

Fall Sangria

October 22, 2012

A summer fav, Sangria is a popular wine “punch.”  It first started with the Romans (around 200 B.C.) when they arrived in Spain, planting vineyards as they conquered the country.  But it wasn’t until 1964 that Sangria made an official appearance in the United States when it was brought to the World’s Fair held in New York City.  Today, sangria is enjoyed around the world in restaurants  bars, and even at…

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

Pumpkin Whoopie Pies

One of our favorite things to add to a dessert, besides peanut butter, is pumpkin.  It does not even have to be fall for me to eat a good pumpkin pie. A classic American treat, the Whoopie Pie, otherwise known as a “black-and-white,” got its start as being a delicious treat in lunch pails.  Wives of farmers would bake these treats once in a while for their husbands and pack…
