CAN’T STOP THE NAUGHTINESS.

Okay, to be totally ‘transparent’ with you guys, I’m making these bars because:

1. We’re invited to a Christmas Eve eve party tonight

2. I don’t have that much time on my hands right now

3. It’s somewhat safe: adult and children will love it. Except for those who have nut

allergies (I guess it’s not that safe after all)

4. I have all the ingredients in my pantry AND fridge

5. It looks and tastes fantastic!

I KNEW IT… YOU MISSED BEING NAUGHTY.

Guys, over the years, I’ve ’collected’ a good amount of Weck jars. They’re ohmygosh so adorable! I love love love them! I have them in different shapes and sizes. They’re totally versatile, cute to boot, and completely reliable. They’re like… well… my PIE (Partner In Everything,) Eric. I’m sure he’s so smiling right now as he reads ALL my posts. Well, what can I say he’s sort of my editor, you know 🙂

NOT JUST A PRETTY FACE.

Growing up, I observed my mom’s massive collection of international cookbooks. From appetizer, to main, to dessert, and everything in between was there – neatly standing side by side on her built-in book/nick-nack shelves – regularly dusted and looked at… by me.

Pumpkin Bars with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

PURELY LUSCIOUS AND INCREDIBLY ADDICTING PUMPKIN CAKE

I profess: Every year around this time, (beginning of Fall) I have a recurring feasting obsession — “everything pumpkin.” I’m quite sure I’m not alone in this. I went to Starbucks the other day, and of course was ordering a grande PSL with soy milk, sans whip cream and a heavenly slice of their pumpkin bread. Yep, I went home feeling overloaded with the “everything pumpkin.” But I’m sure the next time I go there, I’ll order the same stuff again.
