Baked Fall Goodness; 9 Recipes

Summers here are brutal and I would only turn on an oven if I had to for some reason! I hope to have a solar oven before next summer so baking doesn't stop. Anyway the kids are tired of store bought after schools treats and I am anxious to start making them again. Here are some Fall baked goodies I found from WUW link party that caught my eye. Each looks as delicious as the next! Yum!  I think I will start working my way through this list starting next week. Yes it is officially Fall but the temps here are still 100-105! Next week temps are suppose to be lower.

Gardening

Oh how I love gardening! No you wouldn't know that to look at my blog but really I do. It is therapy for me, and you get a nice pay off with vegetables and flowers. Before moving here 8 yrs ago I had a nice big veggie garden and I sure miss it. Here though, I have struggled to get the dirt right and still have yet to figure it out. Even my planters and pots don't do well here. It's all kinds of birds, rabbits, clay dirt, and left behind construction debris buried in the soil to the max. And to top it off, I have been well enough to do a good job or had the time with all my grand child duties. But still every year I make an effort, only my roses have rewarded my efforts.

12 Easter Ideas

With Easter being late this year I felt I had plenty of time to get caught up on some projects before I started my Easter gifts for the kids. Well, let's just say after having extra time I almost forgot to get ready for it. How did that happen?! I was happily riding along in my car  last night with one grand child in tow when said grand child comment that "next Sunday is Easter"! Yikes! I need to get busy for sure and I probably won't have time to post about my gifts so - here is a round up from Wow Us Wednesday link parties. There are some really great ideas here, some I can use :)

Thanksgiving Roundup

Thanksgiving is quite possible my favorite Holiday, or maybe second. I don't know I love Christmas a LOT but Thanksgiving is so easy.....you have great food, spend time with your family and friends in an (hopefully) unhurried way without wondering if you gave the right gifts or not. You know what I mean? So I have put together a little roundup here to help make your Thanksgiving wonderful; crafts, decor and food. 

You know as I looked through the links I didn't see that many for the traditional foods we typically have, not one Turkey! The Best Mashed Potatoes? Perfect Gravy? Classic Pumpkin Pie? Green bean casserole? Nope not a one. So perhaps for next year I will post mine. Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
