My favorite way to use my food processor is to make pizza dough. Ever since buying my Cuisinart, I've been making this basic pizza dough recipe. It's really easy and it doesn't require kneading or rising.
Apple-Cinnamon Coffeecake
This Apple-Cinnamon Coffeecake is a lighter version of traditional coffeecakes, full of apple and cinnamon. A perfect baked treat for a beautiful Autumn day.
David LOVES baked goods with his coffee. He enjoys coffeecakes, muffins, biscotti, donuts...pretty much anything that pairs well with coffee. Since I know this is the way to his heart, I decided to surprise him with something one weekend. Knowing his love of cinnamon, I thought an Apple-Cinnamon Coffeecake would be a perfect choice.

We might be the only family who does this, but....
We celebrate new TV shows starting.
I make no secrets that we have lots of favorite TV shows. We usually DVR most and then watch as our schedule allow. But there is some shows that we are so crazy about that we watch right away. On Sunday, that's exactly what happened.
Ethel M’s Chocolate Factory Tour
Living in Vegas means that we never have a shortage of things to do. We play tourist quite often and have the best time visiting all the fun places we have in this town. At the end of the summer, our family finally took a trip to a place we had been wanting to visit since we moved here last year: the Ethel M's Chocolate Factory Tour.
Candy Bar Cupcakes
These homemade candy bar cupcakes aren't just topped with candy bars -- they also have a candy bar center. Use your favorite "fun size" chocolate bars for a treat that is great for Halloween parties or as a way to use up leftover Halloween candy.
These are a versatile cupcake - I used Milky Way bars and Snickers, but you could substitute just about any candy bar. The first step is to chop up 3 oz of unsweetened chocolate.
It gets melted in a double broiler or in a glass bowl on top of a
Our Favorite Pumpkin Bread
I remember having quick breads as a child - like pumpkin bread and zucchini bread - and thinking they were the greatest thing in the world. I thought it was cool that it was called "bread" but it was like a dessert.
I recently made a new pumpkin bread recipe that I've enjoyed so much that I just had to share it with all of you. It's our favorite pumpkin bread recipe - I love the flavor and how incredibly moist it is.

Chicken & Artichoke Pasta with Mushrooms
I love creamy pasta dishes. Seriously, what's not to like about them? Well, okay, the calories and fat content? I would agree. But that's why we don't eat them daily. We have it in moderation and enjoy them when we do. Good stuff.
One of the newer favorites in our house is this pasta dish that I call Chicken & Artichoke Pasta with Mushrooms. Not a fancy sounding name, but it does the trick. The family raves about it - even those that say that they don't like mushrooms or artichokes (two

Rosemary Garlic Chicken Breasts with Parmesan Linguine
My oldest daughter has to wake up for work VERY early. I am usually still awake when she gets up for work. We also tend to eat dinner much later than your average family, so many nights, she is in the routine of going to bed before dinner is ever done. When she wakes in the morning, she eats the dinner for her breakfast. It's a switched around way of living, but it's working for her (and us) at this point.
Craft Tutorial: Candy Corn Halloween Garland
This craft tutorial will show you how to make a fun Halloween garland with M&M's Candy Corn candies.
Oh, how I LOVE this time of the year! Starting with Halloween, ending with New Years...I love it all. I get so excited when the stores start putting all their Halloween products on the shelves. One new product this year has been M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate. As soon as I heard about them, I knew I would have to get my hands on a few bags for recipes and crafting.
