Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cream Cheese Frosting

Fall is officially here & it has me thinking about some of my favorite fall treats.  I've made these pumpkin cupcakes with a cream cheese frosting that are delicious!  This moist cake has allspice, cinnamon, nutmeg & cloves that blend together in this tasty treat.  The frosting is your traditional cream cheese frosting with a sprinkle of nutmeg.....soooo good.  Can't wait for you guys to try them!

Minestrone with Italian Sausage

This is a hearty soup that has Italian sausage, carrots, celery, zucchini, green beans, onions, tomatoes, cabbage, pasta shells & several different spices.  It is very satisfying & it's one of my new favorites!  Makes about 10 servings.....delicious!   

Coconut Cream Pie

Homemade coconut cream pie...can be topped with meringue or cool whip, which ever you prefer.  My family loves this recipe! 

Pumpkin Bread

Fall is just around the corner & what better way to celebrate the season than with pumpkin bread.  This recipe was given to me years ago by my Mom & it's still one of our family's favorites today.  It's softly baked bread with fresh eggs, flour, sugar, pumpkin & spices.  You'll fall in love with this....it's good for breakfast or as a snack.  I sell these for $18 in a 9x13 or bundt pan. 

Chicken Empanadas

Tasty little treats made with chicken, cheese & spices that are baked, not fried.  Great appetizers or can be served as a meal along with spanish rice & beans.

Open House

Cucumber sandwiches topped with fresh dill.

Fruit Tray

My fruit trays vary depending on what's in season.  This one has fresh pineapple, cantaloupe, red & green grapes & strawberries.  This is always a hit at any party.
