Oh… do I have a treat for you! Well, six treats to be exact. If you love caramel apples you”ll love the caramel apples with popcorn and chocolate drizzle on top. Do you love streusel? I do. In fact, I can’t get over the crumbly topping of Gina’s Pumpkin Streusel Muffins. Ummm… I can just smell the pumpkin. And for the chocolate lovers out there – well, you can’t top a recipe for Triple Chocolate Fudge Brownies.

That’s not all! We’re also featuring Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes, Pumpkin Monkey Bread with Maple Drizzle, and Apple Chicken Cheddar Galette. Plus, we have some inspiring posts on cultivating gratefulness in children, and Family Friendly Halloween ideas. And, as always, I’m featuring my highlights and fun freebies.
