{ Tasty Thursday }

The first day of October.

Already?

Mercy, where has this year gone?

What better way to start off October than with a recipe using pumpkin and spice?

I went to my Mom's earlier this week and she gave me a Duncan Hines Spice Cake mix, saying she had no idea why she bought it and thought I might use it. Right after that I saw a recipe on Pinterest for easy peasy cookies made from a spice cake mix, a can of pumpkin and optional chocolate chips.  I didn't want chocolate chips (imagine me not wanting chocolate), but decided I would use a cup of Nestle Toll House Pumpkin Spice morsels instead.  In only part of the cookies I used  raisins, since Pappy isn't a fan of them.

These turned out absolutely DELICIOUS!!!

All you do is mix the pumpkin into the cake mix and add the optional other items....

no eggs, no oil.  These cookies don't rise, actually they don't change shape much at all, so take care as to how much you put on your baking sheet.  I baked them at 350 and just took them out after a bit to test if they were finished.

I'm gonna share with my Momma.....

if I don't eat them all before I see her again!

There goes the diet!!!

(There were actually more than shown because I filled up two cookie sheets.....

plus, I had to have a couple several warm ones)

Let me know what you think if you make these.

Next time I'm gonna use some cinnamon and maybe some allspice.

HOPE your Thursday is blessed!

Breathing in Grace,

Easter Lunch!!!

Don't you just love getting neat ideas from Pinterest?
  I recently saw a recipe for banana pudding, and thought it would be a great dessert for our Easter lunch tomorrow....so....I purchased up all the ingredients and whipped it up in a jiffy....and couldn't resist licking the bowl....yummy....can't wait to get a real scoop tomorrow with nanners and nilla wafers!!!


You can find the recipe here!!!

Oh....and notice the serving dish I put it in.  
I've had that for almost 35 years....got it as a wedding shower gift!!!


If you know me well, then you'll understand why I showed dessert first!!!



Anyway....here's another cute idea from Pinterest.  For many....many....years, I've taken deviled eggs to any family get-to-gether we have with Pappy's family.  Since my mother-in-law is no longer with us, we don't get together like we used to....but our oldest GRANDson ♥'s deviled eggs....and you know how we are with our GRAND babies?!?!?
I made these just for him and his Momma for our lunch tomorrow.
Notice how they look a bit different than normal.....

After I cut the eggs in half and removed the yolk....I let them soak in cups filled with water and a few drops of food coloring....so I wound up with pink, blue, green and yellow!!!


And, speaking of my precious mother-in-law....
....she got me the bunnies sitting on the table!!!

So....what about y'all?
Whatcha having for dessert tomorrow?!?!?


In HIS Most Precious Love....and with mine!!!
