The Happy Apple

Prepare for your world to be rocked!

I found a nice recipe online that I wanted to try for a cream cheese filled pumpkin bread. And then, a (great!) idea came into my mind. (Those are few and far between these days seeing as how my little 7 month old baby consumes most of any ideas I have so I jumped on the opportunity to try it out.)  And I wasn’t disappointed. So, I share this recipe with you. Anyways, I’ll just tell you that the secret ingredient is Delicious Orchards Pumpkin cream cheese. It’s made with REAL D.O. PUMPKIN PIE!!!! I mean, that in and of itself is worth a post. Let me count the ways I love to eat DO pumpkin cream cheese: On toasted challah, on un-toasted challah, on toasted white bread, on muffins, on pumpkin bars, by the spoonful…

Happy Halloween to all the little ghosts and princesses and ladybugs and rockstars out there today (and their parents, too)! Among all the trick or treating, don’t forget to save *some* sweets for yourself! Although if you’re like me, it’s more like I’ve got to make sure I leave some sweets for the trick-or-treaters!

Here’s a fun twist on a classic recipe! And might I add quite delicious! You’ll notice that I’ve included my own tips and comments. Sometimes I find that I need to adapt the recipe to my lifestyle or kitchen. But I like the rules so much that when a recipe asks for a 9×13 baking dish, I’ve been known to get out the tape measurer just to be sure! So I appreciate knowing when I don’t always have to stick EXACTLY to the recipe. Hope you enjoy!

Fall is here! The leaves are beginning to crunch.  Mums have been planted.  I can sense a crispness in the air that leaves me wondering scarf, or no scarf?  And the trace of apples and pumpkins seem to be found everywhere. Most importantly, it’s fall at Delicious Orchards!
