Thanksgiving 2015

I made napkin rings, pumpkin place setting cards and Caramel Apples this Thanksgiving.  The pumpkin place setting cards were a little time consuming but I think they were worth it because they really looked cute on the plates.

Jeans and Jewels

I had the best time at this years school fund raiser.

"Jeans and Jewels."  

We had the option of decorating a table to reserve seats for our friends.  The auction was October 24th so I choose Halloween decorations.  We ended winning "Best and Most Creative."

It is Christmas time and my niece and nephews want Apples for Christmas.  I think they love them as much as I do.   Click here to see the caramel I use.  It is really good and super easy. 

My First Cookie Exchange Party

I can't wait until December 9th, I am hosting my first Cookie Exchange.  I made these place cards to put in front of the plates of cookies.  I also decorated two canisters.  We will write  our favorite cookie on a piece of paper, fold the paper in half and put it in the canister.   I still have a lot to do but here is what I have so far.

Apple Cobbler Dump Cake

Recipe from: Come Together Kids

The Apple dump cake I made last week with pie filling wasn't good..  I loved the topping and the recipe is so easy.   So, I found this recipe and love it.  This recipe is so easy and delicious, my favorite apple recipe so far.

Ingredients
* 5 fresh apples peeled  (1/4 in. thick) 
* box of yellow cake mix
* 1 stick of butter

Directions:
1. Spray a pie dish with cooking spray.
2. Dump the apples in the dish and spread them evenly over the bottom.
3. Pour a layer of dry cake mix over the apples. (You might not have to use the whole bag, use just enough to cover the apples with a decent layer)

4. Melt a stick of butter and pour the melted butter evenly over the cake mix.
5.  Sprinkle a little apple pie spice or cinnamon over the top.
6. Bake at 350* for about 35-45 minutes until the top is slightly golden and the apples are hot and bubbly. (Note: with about 10-15 minutes left in the cooking time, peek in at your cobbler. If you notice there are some dry patches of cake mix, you can sprinkle just a little bit of water on them so it's not powdery. Then continue baking)
7. Optional- scoop of vanilla ice cream and drizzle with caramel sauce.
