Pumpkiny Goodness

It's the time of year for pumpkin treats. I love pumpkin bread and everyone loves the recipe I use, but this post is about something slightly sweeter, Pumpkies! They can also be referred to as pumpkin brownies, although they don't have any chocolate.

They're super yummy, though!

I actually made a double batch here, which is why it's more than you'll see in the recipe at the end.

First things first, the recipe says to stir butter until light and fluffy. I'm not sure how they managed to do that, but I edited a bit and mixed it with the sugar. 

 Then I mixed in the egg and pumpkin puree:
It looks a little like tomato sauce, but I promise it's pumpkin.

Now for the dry stuff, the flour and spices. 

Everything's mixed, ready for the pan:

Like I said, this is a double batch, so I'm using a 9x13 pan. It still only took about 35 minutes in the oven, though.

And out it comes, beautifully golden and smelling heavenly.

Your taste buds are watering aren't they? They should be!

As promised, here's the recipe link.

Black Cherry Delight Popcorn

One of many awesome wedding gifts we received was a cookbook titled 101 Things to do with Popcorn. There are some interesting recipes inside and some really fun ones. I've made a couple and decided to try something new tonight. I didn't have the right ingredients for anything specific from the book, so I mixed and matched and came up with my own concoction.  To start, you need some popped popcorn. We don't want the special butter or movie popcorn you can buy in the store because we're putting our own topping on it. So we want to start with about 1/3 cup of unpopped kernels and we're going to dump them in a regular old brown paper lunch bag.  Fold up the top of the bag so the kernels don't come out as they pop.  My microwave has a popcorn setting. If yours doesn't, just put it in for about 3 - 4 minutes and listen for the popping to slow.  After the popcorn is popped comes my least favorite step. It's a little awkward, but necessary if...

Save the Date

We're having a board game themed wedding. Neither of us is really into dancing, so we decided to have the reception at an adult arcade/restaurant. Once we had the venue reserved for our desired date, the next order of business was sending out Save the Date cards. A lot of our families will be traveling for the wedding, so we wanted to give them as much notice as possible. We also wanted to stick with the theme. This is what I designed using Photoshop and some ideas I found online: Can you name the game that inspired this design?

I made this today

I've been creating a lot again lately. And it feels good.
