As I have said many times, I swear I am getting a new digital camera soon. My apologies in advance for the image quality. Winter has paid a brief visit to where I live in upstate NY.

My most requested baked good is pumpkin chocolate chip cookies. My favorite season of the year… Continue reading Pumpkin
