Happy Halloween!!
My kiddos are out of school today, so we are spending the day playing Halloween games, getting free Jamba juice and cupcakes, trick-or-treating at daddy's work, and generally causing havoc.
Wish I could send them to school tomorrrrrrow... (Dude. Seriously the one day of the year I do NOT miss teaching.)
Since I am genuinely concerned you may not consume enough sugar today, I thought I'd introduce...

Graveyard Grub
How is Halloween week treating everyone? We have been having a lot of fun carving pumpkins, watching Halloween movies, telling scary stories, and eating candy. Last week I did a Fear Factor night with the youth at our church and it was awe.some. They bobbed for strawberries in a tub of water filled with live fish, dug through piles of worms in dirt, transported dog food with their mouths, ate sardines, and licked Nutella out...

Peach Crisp
It's not peach season. It's pumpkin season. I get it. But this recipe can't go unposted. This is one of those recipes that I've made 3 times intending to photograph it, but it always disappears before I can get my camera on it. The bottom crust has a buttery toffee-like taste to it, and the peach layer is gooey and peachy and sweet. Top this with vanilla bean ice cream and you have pretty much...

Pooh Corner Peanut Butter Chocolate-dipped Sandwiches
October always makes me pine for Disneyland. Disneyland is just magical in October, completely decked out for Halloween and full of villains, pumpkins, and yummy treats.
I love Disneyland so much that our retirement plan currently consists of moving to a tiny house near
the beach, hubby working the Jungle Cruise, and me working at
Marceline's or Pooh Corner (my life's ambition, if we're being honest).
If you
don't know these places...

Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
The weather here has finally turned rainy and cold. I hate the cold by itself, but I LOVE rainy days. They remind me of living in Brussels and they make me so nostalgic for Europe. Plus they are the best excuse for curling up by the fireplace with cocoa and a good book.
And a cookie or two of course...

Blueberry Pie Muffins
The other day I bought my 3 year old boy a knight costume for Halloween. This is a huge victory because his top two costume choices were:
a) corn
and
b) a ladybug.
Corn. Seriously.
And while ladybugs are cute and all, I'm not sure he would ever live it down if that picture got shown to his prom date in 13 years.
My 5 year old on the other hand just wants whichever costume comes with the most weapons.
Go figure.
I...

Sweet Orange Butter
Ever crave an orange roll but you don't have hours to make them? This butter is orangey and perfect on a hot white roll. You can whip it up in 5 minutes! I bet you could even mix in some mini chocolate chips if you love the combination of chocolate and orange as much as I do.
Knowing Walmart those Terry's chocolate oranges will probably be in stores any day now anyways.
Happy Wednesda...
