After a fantastic food-filled & game-filled Thanksgiving Day with my wonderful “adopted family” of friends… there wasn’t much left of my pumpkin cheesecake. Even the little ones liked it. So I guess it was a hit!!!

All ready for our Thanksgiving Feast!!!
My contribution for the best part of the meal… DESSERT!!!

I made a Marbled Pumpkin Cheesecake with a gingersnap cookie crust!
Always fun to have a nice platter to present my dessert on… I hope everyone likes it?!!!

Wishing you all a wonderful Thanksgiving Day!
Hoping you’re all having a fantastic day with family & friends… and plenty of pumpkin pie!
And my THANKS to all of you for your ongoing support & encouragement…
you’re the BEST… Thank You again!!!

So today was the first day of my HOLIDAY HOME SHOW… and it started out to be a very “sweet” day!!! Especially when some of your customers bring you treats… like these special “festive” OREOs which I’ve never even seen before?! Red & green filling layered between character-stamped cookies!

And oh, but wait there’s more… the red crème filling actually shoes through cookies in just the right places… I mean… who doesn’t want a red-frosting-nosed-reindeer?! Thanks Diane & Jim!

Just a little more festive flair to make the holiday shine brighter! There’s a selection of mixed metallics… silver, gold & copper! And some trees with no stars for the “nature purists” out there!!!

Just a quick sneak peek into the kiln to see the top layer of fresh, new Christmas Trees!!! Almost ready for this weekend’s HOLIDAY HOME SHOW. They just need a little more festive charm… coming soon!!!

Melts in your mouth, not in your hands! And one of my favorite holidays…
celebrating NATIONAL M&Ms DAY!!!

After yesterday’s Andersonville Farmer’s Market… I was stocked-up at Stamper Cheeses & prepared for today’s holiday… who knew?! So here I am with my favorite blue cheese & blue cheese-layered Brie… for NATIONAL MOLDY CHEESE DAY!!! Yummy!!!

Celebrating NATIONAL GUACAMOLE DAY with a quick snack before teaching class tonight! Fresh & yummy… with some homegrown tomatoes from my friend Lisa!
