Get in my belly, Fall..

 The title, says it all..

I have such a love for food, and it is nothing like the fall and winter weather to set off some of my favorites: Stuffing, Meatballs, Chicken & Dumplings, all soups, chili, you name it... warmth is the key :) And All fall deserts,... if it has pumpkin, that is a vegetable  Right? I mean, to make up for the pie the pumpkin is in..

One of the ladies I work with always makes amazing cakes each month for the Birthday's around the office.

Her November cake was pumpkin with cream cheese icing. DE-Lish! I had to show off her talents, but also share the recipe...
