Today I'm thankful  for...

Second Chances

I would like to take a moment to flashback to my post on September 19th.

This post made reference to some blogging tips by Pioneer Woman.  Allow me to quote her second tip:

Apple Pizza

APPLE PIZZA
Cover a pizza pan with a pie crust.
Slice apples and arrange around pizza pan in one layer.
Sprinkle with:
1/2 c sugar
1 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
Combine until crumbly:
3/4 c flour
1/2 c sugar
1/2 c butter
Put on top of sugared apples.  Bake at 450 for 20-25 minutes.  Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle with caramel sauce, if desired.  Cut, eat, and enjoy!

Molasses Cookies

Pumpkin Dip

I haven't been blogging much lately, because I have been baking a lot and "helping" Tim with some home improvement projects.

Since the weather had turned a little cooler, I started craving comfort food like a crazy lady.  Comfort to me usually involves butter and sugar.  I made caramel apple sticky buns, chocolate chip cookie sweet rolls, a huge pan of pumpkin bars (with cream cheese frosting, of course), and an apple pizza.  In a half-hearted effort to protect my waistline, most of this food has been sent to work with Tim-- after I do quite a bit of sampling.

The Year of the Monkey...

Blog and IE8

Some of you may have noticed some issues with this blog if you're using Internet Explorer 8.  It seems that there are a lot of widespread issues with IE8 and sites in general, and I have no idea if there is even a way to fix it.  I already have the template set to force to Compatibility Mode, and that doesn't work.  I'll keep working on it, but you might want to look into downloading a browser such as Firefox or Chrome.  I prefer Chrome because of its speed and process handling, but that's just my 2 cents.  Hopefully I can dig around a little more and fix some template issues, otherwise you IE8 users will see a black header picture!

In the meantime, bear with me if you load the blog and things look a little messy.

UPDATE:  I changed the template, and it does load cleaner in IE8 now.  However, it still looks a little different and doesn't look quite as good as Chrome.  I think that's as good as it's getting.

Road Trip

Spur of the moment probably means something different to others than what it means to me.

What a Guy

You may notice that my blog is looking a little bit different.  I figured it was time for a fresh look.

I wanted a collage of pictures for the top, so Tim took it upon himself to make one for me.  Is that a quality guy or what?
