Pumpkin Spice Syrup

I love this time of year... love the change of colours and the cool crisp air. Best of all is that it is pumpkin season. I know that you could have pumpkins all year round as all you have to do is buy a can of pumpkin puree... but pumpkin is the best when fall is in the air.
I also love pumpkin flavour in my tea and coffee.. Nothing beats a Pumpkin Spice Latte or even a Pumpkin Spice Chai Latte..and I have been even drinking more since I made this Pumpkin Spice Syrup.Lately I have been coming home from work, making myself a coffee and adding some pumpkin spice syrup , no wonder I don't sleep.

Bird Bath and Feeder

I know that you are probably thinking.... Why is she posting about a bird feeder at this time of year. The birds are now thinking of flying south and the snow will be falling. Why oh Why would I write about making a bird feeder. Well, it is because I just got time to make it. I did buy the material as soon as Cynthia from Feeding Big brought over this idea to my facebook page. Hers is a butterfly feeder but I decided to make mine into a birdbath and feeder. Head over to her page for the directions to make her feeder. I only took pictures of what I used and the end product.

Garlic Cheese Biscuits

One of my favorite places to eat is Red Lobster and their biscuits are to die for. I just go there for them. When I was living in Saskatoon, my great aunt and I would go out for lunch and dinner at least twice a month. On of our favorite restaurants was Red Lobster. Since moving to the States I am not even sure I have been to a Red Lobster but I can still have my biscuits or at least something very similar. I received this recipe years ago from a friend.

It is a Cheesy Party at Foodie Friends Friday. #foodiefriendsfriday

I love cheese. I adore cheese. I could eat cheese for just about every meal and I do.. What about you?

I can't wait to see what everyone will bring to this party!

What is your favorite cheese?

Slow Cooker Apple and Onion Pork Chops

Apple season is upon us. I haven't gone picking any this year and we will see if I get any done or not. My brother has apple trees on his land and as long as the animals don't get them, I should be able to get a few picked.

The other day I had some Granny Smith Apples in the fridge and also pork chops so decided I wanted to make something with them. This is what I came up with.

Crazy Ingredient Challenge ~ Tomatoes and Coconut #crazyingredientchallenge

This month has gone by like a flash. It is a good thing that I did my CIC early or I would not be posting today. What is CIC, you ask. Each month we are given two ingredients and we need to come up with a recipe with these two ingredients. We are given the ingredients on the first of the month and post on the 20th. You can decide if you want to join each month, which is great. There is a button at the bottom of the post that you can click to find out more information.
