I make dozens of these bat cupcakes each Halloween. They are so cute! My kids expect to be able to take them to school even when I am not the Halloween party mom! I also take some to work, and the people who dress up in costumes get one as a prize - they come looking for me to show me their costumes!

Pasta Salad for a Crowd
This is my go-to pasta salad recipe for a big crowd. It's great for showers, picnics, parties, you name it! My mother-in-law taught me to make it. It is easy and very versatile. It tastes best when refrigerated overnight.
Backpacking Oatmeal
This backpacking oatmeal recipe is quick to prepare and effortless to cook at camp. I created it for a bike ride from Pittsburgh to Washington, D.C. It makes enough to leave two people feeling very full, and it provides a mix of carbs and protein that's needed for a long day of biking or hiking.
Sweet Pickle Relish
This chunky sweet relish is great to eat right away, but it's also nice to go into the pantry in the middle of winter, crack open a jar, and put some on your hot dogs! Or mix some into macaroni salad for extra flavor.
