Bake-Off Challenge Round 4
Do you like Pecan Pie? What about teeny-weeny, really cute Pecan Pies?
I've got the best recipe for Pecan Tassies and they're so easy to make. And not too time-consuming. I know I say that a lot but it's important to me to have a list of great stand-by recipes that I can make quickly. Time to bake isn't something I always have in large commodity.
Prep time on these little puppies is about 20

Blessings this Thanksgiving
I'm in my kitchen baking and cooking but wanted to pause for a minute and wish you blessings on your day.
It's just our immediate family this year (pictured below) which is so quiet compared to previous years when we've combined with family and friends for a houseful, but it's also nice. We have a wonderful day planned, and I'm praying that yours will be the same.

Whew! It's finally Friday. Been a long week but a really good one. Hope you're ready for the weekend and that your weekend will hold exactly what you're needing, whether that be rest or play time.

I can't believe these are gluten-free!
Welcome to Round 3 of the Great Bake-off Challenge with Angie Hunt! We're having a blast with this, and as I told you yesterday, we're honoring our pal and author Terri Blackstock and all the rest of you who can't (or either choose not to) eat wheat flour.
After much cookbook searching and internet browsing, I came upon an UNbelievable recipe for gluten-free brownies. I'm not kidding. These are

Angie's making French macarons and I'm baking some mouthwatering (or at least they look that way, we'll see) gluten-free brownies. So...may the best recipe
