Apple Cinnamon Ginger Water
I like making my own flavored water, and now that it’s autumn, I thought I’d try a water recipe with the flavors of fall, and apples and cinnamon are such a classic autumn flavor combination. There are sliced apples and cinnamon sticks in this, and I added some slices of fresh ginger root for a…

Cranberry-Almond Oatmeal Bake
Last week, my friend Ann gave me a recipe for baked oatmeal to try. I fully intended to make the recipe exactly as it was, but as I looked it over I thought, What would it taste like if I added this instead of that, and this much instead of that much…and so on, until…

Pumpkin Cream Cheese Bread
Since I am well-stocked up on pumpkin, I decided it was time to try another pumpkin recipe. This recipe caught my eye at About.com…it stood out to me because it has cream cheese in it and everything I make that includes cream cheese as an ingredient always seems to turn out good! So pumpkin bread…

Sprinkle on some Cinnamon Sugar!
Every now and then, I make a recipe that calls for cinnamon sugar and sometimes I don’t have the pre-made version on hand. But it’s really easy to make: Just blend 1/2 cup sugar with 1 Tablespoon ground cinnamon. You need to stir this thoroughly to blend it well. Store your cinnamon sugar in a clean…
