I usually have sugar, butter, eggs, flour, and peanut butter on hand. So for me to whip up some peanut butter cookies is easy to do.
And I usually have milk ...
And of course I always... and I mean I ALWAYS have coffee ...
Wish you were here to indulge in these yummy treats on the porch with me.
Hmmm. Scratch that. You ARE.

Nothing could be finer than having breakfast in a diner.

How rude! Mommy said she would take a long nap with me. Well she only did for like five minutes and then she jumped up and left me for the kitchen. She said she had to have ANOTHER piece of pumpkin pie.
Seriously? She's already had two slices today!
Maggie
I interrupt Maggie's pouting to share my piece of pumpkin pie with you ...
Please ignore Maggie. You know she gets a little bent out of shape during the holidays - always wanting my undivided attention and all. I told her that it was STILL Thanksgiving weekend and I was not only savoring every moment of the occasion but wanted to savor EVERY bite of the holiday food too. ;-)
Here's the recipe ...
Pumpkin Custard Pie
1 9 inch pie shell
1 cup pumpkin puree
3 eggs
1 T all purpose flour
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1/3 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp cinnamon
2 cups evaporated milk
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
In large bowl comine all ingredients. Beat with a mixer until smooth. Pour into pie shell. Bake for 50-60 minutes or until set. Chill in fridge overnight and serve with whipped topping of your choice.
I prefer Cool Whip ;-)
Now I must go finish my nap with Maggie.

What's better than a freshly washed plate trimmed in colorful flowers?
A freshly washed plate with a piping hot sweet potato on it ...

Can you believe that we are finally expecting our first real cold snap this weekend? Well we are! That calls for homemade chili don't you think?
I made this recipe for chicken chili on Thursday and it was really good! I got a little creative with it - amped up the chicken and the beans too and after simmering the onions and garlic in my chicken stock, I let it cook in the crockpot all day on low. Yummy for the tummy for sure! Click here for reviews and other suggestions for spicing this dish up a bit.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend. Is it getting cold where you are? I am planning on going to a neighborhood home tour so I will do my very best to at least capture a few shots to share with you.
And who knows .... maybe it will snow???
