Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies

Made these delicious yet huge oatmeal chocolate chip cookies from Our Best Bites. I must have made mine even bigger than they did as I got 28 cookies out of a double recipe!

Pumpkin Fudge

I made this Pumpkin Fudge from a recipe from Taste of Home my sister found. It was delicious but definitely needed the nuts.

Candy Corn Bouquet Opening

Arrangements look so much better when they start opening up. I was pleasantly surprised when the orange tulips opened with some yellow stripes. Makes the arrangement even better.

Made this quilt for my friend's daughter's daughter. I am having a lot of fun practicing my stippling. I have a long way to go. I made this quilt start to finish in one day minus the shopping for material. It took most of my day but I was surprised I could get it 100 percent finished.

Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cakes

I made Mini Pineapple Upside Down Cupcakes.

I used pineapple rings and cut them down to just a small section. Then made them like a full cake with the brown sugar glaze, pineapple chunk and a cake mix baked in a mini muffin tin. Watch closely as they don't take very long to bake.

Caramel Pretzel Brownies

I made these brownies with the recipe from Cate's World Kitchen. I changed it up just a little and used a boxed brownie mix, threw in a couple handfuls of Kraft caramel balls and topped it with my own homemade caramel sauce. They were a mess to cut. I wouldn't do it again for a cut and plated brownie but they were so delicious, I would serve them baked in the individual pizza pans as a pizookie with vanilla ice cream. They would be To Die For!
