Hello, Pumpkin!

I stumbled across a blog the other day... and now the writer and I are super close friends. I know so much about her [and not because I've stalked her blog from beginning to end - or end to beginning]. She just doesn't know ME yet.

Don't you love finding really GOOD, local blogs? I do.

Anyway - back to Connie.  She is adorable. She has an adorable little boy. She is very pregnant with baby # 2. And she has some fantastic recipes that I am ready to try. So very ready.

Connie completely inspired me to bake today. During my LUNCH HOUR from work. Who does that?!

Take a look at this post...
Go ahead. I'll wait for you to come back...

Oooh! Back already?!

Now do you see why I wanted to get all Betty Crocker-like? 

Thankfully, due to the Holiday's coming around the corner, I had everything on hand. It didn't take long at all to whip that batter up. The hardest part was greasing the pans... I wonder if Connie hasn't heard of cooking spray. Eh. I wanted to follow it to the letter - so I greased my first set of pans today. A standing ovation?! You shouldn't have. Thanks! ;)

Here are a few pics to show my process...


The husband and Nic were out and about - so they had no idea of my mischievousness... but the moment they walked thru the day - they knew their dreams had been answered... Alice from the Brady Bunch finally decided to come out of retirement (Or is it permanent retirement? How awkward; I should really Google that).

Nope. It's just me.

Look at that...

Mmmm, mmmm, tasty!

You need to try Connie's recipe.
Like she says.... You're welcome!
