I’m pretty sure that I baked and cooked more than this, but I must have forgot my camera. I’m pretty bad about that.  We had a lot to celebrate in October, and lots of tasty dishes to go along with it. Here are some of my favorites from the month.

We visited the Fall Festival and Pumpkin Patch, and had an awesome Funnel Cake. I have got to try and make these at home. I think it would be a fun and tasty experiment.

Cakerdoodles! Yum.

Super-star Cherry Pie. One of our favorites, well James and my favorite. The kiddos just don’t like fruit pies.

Coffee! Not really a baked good, but a necessity in this house. Morning, afternoon, and night, I’m usually found with a double cup of coffee.

My take on Pumpkin Pasties. I had extra pumpkin pie filling and pie crust, so I decided to whip up this Harry Potter favorite. The kiddos (again) didn’t like them, but I thought they were cute and very tasty too. My kiddos are crazy, Pumpkin rocks!

Pumpkin Pie! Oh yeah! I love pumpkin pie, and I like to make a practice pie or two before the holidays. I do not want to have a pie failure on Thanksgiving or Christmas, and James doesn’t mind the extra treats too.

I didn’t bake these, but they were too cute not to share. We got our Halloween pumpkins from a local farmer, and I didn’t carve them. I just can’t cut into them, they are too cute.

I made two kinds of mints for Agnes’ birthday party. I made the traditional mint, and then I tried vanilla too. The vanilla ones tasted like Cinnamon Roll Frosting, they were amazingly good. I’ll definitely be making those again.

So here we are another month to bake, cook, and mess up the kitchen. I have a big menu planned for Thanksgiving with plenty of desserts too. I can’t wait to get started.
