Puffed corn can be found in the potato chip aisle of your grocery store and is used in this recipe to make great caramel corn without hulls or unpopped kernels. Warning: you need to make a double batch of this because it doesn't last long, at least not in my house. Very addicting. Love it!

Pesto Herb Spread
This is a yummy, creamy version of standard pesto that makes a great spread for get togethers. Tastes great with pita chips or sourdough bread! Sun dried tomatoes may be mixed in for a zesty tang. Add crunch by coating the finished spread with almonds.
Sweet Potato Pie
This sweet potato pie recipe was shared with me by a special friend in Atlanta, GA. It has long been a favorite, and everyone who tastes it says it is the best they've ever had! Perfect for holiday season.
Pumpkin Blondies
These yummy bars are a good way to use up any extra pumpkin you may have leftover from fall baking or an excuse to open another can! I had mini cinnamon chips, so 1/2 cup was plenty. If you have the full-size ones, you'll probably want more. Just sprinkle as much as you want over the top. If you don't have cinnamon chips at all, try butterscotch chips!
