Taste of Fall

fall-recipes

Break out the butter and make some sweets to celebrate fall.  Here are some recipes that I posted last year.  It seems that my interest in cooking is renewed as the seasons change.  And not to worry-we’ll soon be wearing bulky sweaters to hide our love of fall comfort food!

Pumpkin Pound Cake

Pumpkin Cheesecake (this one’s my favorite)
