As much as I love Pumpkin Pie, I love Pumpkin Roll even more! Yummy cream cheese rolled inside a moist, fragrant pumpkin spice cake. How could you ask for anything more yummy yum?

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

If you like apple pie, then you must try this! It is mouth-watering good!
I love apple cake. I like to cut the apple chunks really small and distribute the bits evenly through the batter. Follow the directions to this recipe and you may have just found a brand new fall favorite food!

So, it sounds a little funny, but try it! I'm going to this year! All those cute pumpkins and jack-o-lanterns just go to waste if you get tired of pumpkin. This recipe will give you something new to try. Who knows? You just might find you love pumpkin fudge, right? Well. Maybe. Let me know if you are brave enough to taste test this unusual recipe!
Autumn brings some fabulous fruits into the harvest. Use them while they are fresh. Sure they are fun to decorate with, but after you disassemble the display, use the fruit in one of these recipes. Which one are you going to try first?
