No Pumpkin I Promise!


Ok - I felt guilty about all the pumpkin recipes...so this one has no pumpkin...just a lot of chocolate and a lot of cookies and a lot of calories...though I have heard if you eat things like this in large groups - everyone absorbs the calories equally so you only get a portion of them...I'm just saying that is what I heard... =) 

This one looks divine...and totally a pot luck kind of goodness...ENJOY

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Recipe


I am in love with Pumpkin Cream Cheese...have I mentioned that in the last 10 minutes??

All this week it has been my passion...I am in love with it - I could eat in everything...seriously everything. 

Thought you might like a recipe so you could make it at home...I wouldn't add the maple syrup but this is my opinion...do what you like!! =) 

Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese Spread

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons brown sugar
2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
1/4 cup canned pumpkin
1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract

1. In a small bowl, beat softened cream cheese, sugar, and syrup til creamy.
2. Add pumpkin, spices and vanilla and beat til smooth.
3. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
4. Enjoy!

The Test I would Fail...maybe

Here is the video I promised! 

A great lesson about patience and temptation!!  I don't know if I would have passed this test...at 5 years old...or now at 32...that is my sad story - but I speak the truth. =) 

Hope you are having a great day...your pumpkin cream cheese recipe is coming soon!
