Before you throw this one away because you live at sea level – I noted on the printable recipe below notes for either. :)

Half the fun of making these was just that they’re pretty. :)

This recipe is from as shared by , but I have adjusted it for high altitude. Remember I’m talking over 9,000 feet elevation, so this should work for most “high-altitude” dwellers!

I don’t really know why but these always scream “Christmas” to me. At least I’ve made them for a Christmas party before! Just a holly jolly cookie, I guess.  ;)

Whew!  Long name.  But turns out not that difficult to make…plus they’re pretty!

It’s basically a normal cookie recipe made fancy by the dipped look. ;)

It’s been a while since I shared a recipe and here is a classic!  It’s officially Autumn and we are socially free to make soups, stews, pumpkin & pecan pies, and so much more.

But I should probably admit to you that I made this in August.  ;)  If I have ANY time at all this Fall, when we’re not traveling, I have so many soups that are calling my name.  We’ll see about them…but for now, here is a very traditional recipe for super sweet Pecan Pie.  It was actually the first pecan pie I’d ever made and was pleased with the results.  The crust edge was also an experiment and I wasn’t as thrilled with that idea’s turnout, but hey you have to try to know!

Print the recipe .  Although I miss the warmth already and my frozen fingers feel numb typing this, I DO enjoy pulling my boots back out and cooking fall-y dishes. :)

In addition to the Banana Brunch Punch we offered at my mom’s brunch party, this was one of the dishes served.

Honestly, I had been a non-fan of croissants for many years due to an experience that isn’t nice table talk. :) However, I gave this a try – and so did many other people! We all agreed on its tastiness. Several asked me to share the recipe on my blog which is how it ended up showing up on the DK in the first place.

Print the recipe  for your next brunch or finger food gathering!

From the original:

I badly wish I could just transfer the smell of these muffins through my computer to yours.  Even if you don’t like the muffins (which would be difficult to believe), you would love the smell.

I often make tiny adjustments for our own taste preferences, but  was perfect…well, I made mini ones instead of regular, but that’s the only change I made.  You can check it out or just go straight to printing .

P.S. If you have a door to your kitchen, lock it.  I literally didn’t have all the muffins out of the tray yet before 3 people had eaten them.
