Did you miss me? I knew October was going to get crazy and something was going to have to go. And the winner (or was it loser?) was this blog. I had a bunch of ideas throughout the month, but there never seemed to be time to sit down and write.
Besides my usual keeping up with the kid and the house and the yard and volunteering at the school twice a week and everything else I do that manages to keep me busy, I spent quite a bit of time doing back end "stuff" on That Recipe. Plus plenty of cooking and baking and blogging.
Baking recipes like this Pumpkin Spice Cake with Caramel Pecan Glaze. I'd never made caramel from scratch before, it was fun and oh so delicious! You can use a store bought sauce if you are intimidated, but the sauce was actually easy to make. The cake was a treat for the teachers at J's school to help them through Parent Teacher Conferences. They loved it! Rumor has it that at least one person *cough* the principal *cough* snuck a few extra slices to take home to "his kids".
And then there was all of the Halloween related activities...
like decorating...
And I had to make the Halloween costumes...
And then there was the actual day of Halloween...
And now on to November.
Actually we put up the November calendar numbers before we went trick or treating so I could stall a little to let it get dark, hence the 31 had to stay up until this morning, when it was immediately handed to me when we came downstairs.
I already have a Pinterest Board started for Thanksgiving. You might want to follow along if you aren't already following That Recipe, because I will have plenty more coming once I get out of this sugar coma. I'll also be blogging everyday in November as part of NaBloPoMo, either here or on That Recipe, so be sure to stay tuned for more fun and craziness, and hopefully lots of great recipes.
