I'm feeling...

Along with some wonderful gifts, Santa also brought me the flu. I've been feeling under the weather since the day after Christmas. Today is the first day that I've started to feel a bit better, but I can't seem to shake this cough. My husband and pup have been taking good care of me, and I finally got some real meds yesterday. I'm hoping I can kick this sickness in the butt by the end of the weekend and get on with 2012!

On a happier note, I wanted to share something that I posted earlier in the week on my other blog... Cupcakes for two! I spotted this amazing recipe on How Sweet It Is earlier in 2011. Two cute little cupcakes - one for you and one for a friend, or two for you if you don't feel like sharing! I like baking cupcakes, but rarely do because I don't need a dozen of them sitting on the kitchen counter tempting me. Next time I have a sweet tooth, this recipe will be what I reach for!

Pumpkin Meringue Pie

Is this pie for real? Am I in Meringue Heaven? I don't even have any more words -- this pie speaks for itself! I'm adding it to my Thanksgiving menu for sure.

Weekend Sweets

These two desserts look perfectly fit for fall. I think I might have to whip up a batch of one or the other (or both) this weekend.

Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Truffles

Peachy Perfection on the Grill

I've been skimming the recipes on MarthaStewart.com today, mostly because I miss cooking and I'm getting a little tired of eating in restaurants (our pots & pans, along with everything else in our home, has not arrived in Chicago yet!) While checking out some fantastic summertime dessert recipes, I came across a few recipes that involved grilled peaches. I've never thought to grill a peach, but these four recipes sure have me wishing for a basket of ripe fruit and a grill on my patio!

Grilled Peach Melba, Grilled Peaches with Chilled Sabayon,

Grilled Vanilla Peaches, Grilled Peaches with Sweetened Sour Cream
