Pumpkin Cheesecake Recipe With Pictures
I've been really hungry for pumpkin cheesecake lately, so I decided tonight I was going to make one. A friend of mine gave me a recipe for pumpkin cheesecake several years ago, but I couldn't find it in my recipe box tonight. Not sure what I've done with it. I decided to give Paula Deen's pumpkin cheesecake recipe a try, so here is my adapted version of the recipe. I'm never good at following a recipe perfectly, I always have to make a few little changes. Plus after two trips to the grocery store in one day, I didn't have any ...

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds~ Delicious and Nutritious
One of my favorite fall flavors is pumpkin. While I'm baking up pumpkin for a pie, or carving a Jack O' Lantern, I always bake up the seeds that I scrape out of the center. It takes a little work to clean them up, but don't get too worried about a little pulp clinging to the seeds, it just adds a little flavor. Roasting pumpkin seeds is really easy. Separate most of the pulp from the seeds. Then toss them with a little olive or canola oil. Spread them in a single layer on a cookie sheet. You can flavor your pumpkin seeds by sprinkling ...
Chicken and Noodles In a Rice Cooker
A while back I received an Aroma ARC-1000 Professional Rice Cooker/Food Steamer in the mail to take for a test drive. I've made several meals with it. especially since the weather's turned a little cooler, and I have to say I'm impressed. You can cook way more than rice in this thing! I love that you can throw everything in one pot, set the timer, then go get something else done. It's like crock pot cooking, only way faster. I've been cooking recipes from the booklet that came with the rice cooker, but tonight I made up my own recipe, so ...
My Favorite Apple Cake Recipe
My sister in law gave me a recipe for apple cake many years ago. It's my absolute favorite recipe for apple cake, it's actually one of my favorite recipes of all time. This time of year when there are plenty of delicious in season apples in my kitchen I love to pull out this recipe. The caramel topping melts into the cake making it super rich and super yummy! I usually leave out the walnuts, because I'm not a fan. The cake is delicious either way. Apple Cake With Caramel Icing 3 eggs 1 cup oil 2 cups sugar 1/4 cup milk 2 teaspoons vanilla 3 cups of ...
