perfect pumpkin cookie

Looking Back: Originally posted on Dec 18, 2010.

If you followed this blog back in 2010, you’ll remember how crazy I went with pumpkins! I cooked up a bunch and used it to make all sorts of cookies, muffins, bread and more.

 

When a I followed posted , I immediately saved the recipe and ta-da, have now shared it with you. I remember actually making them in my Grandma’s house in Idaho. Let me tell you, it’s harder to cook in someone else’s kitchen than I had originally thought! But it was enjoyable.

Print the recipe  (just slightly adapted from ).

fresh start

I’ve had an itch for a long time.

And I’ve decided to scratch it.

Hi, my name is Sydney Drinkwater and the Drinkwater Kitchen is officially open for business once again!

Much much much has happened in my life since I last blogged for the DK – the biggest events being we moved to another country and had a baby! I officially stepped down from my full-time accounting position and am still finding it hard to believe I am a stay-at-home mama. What a change of lifestyle after always working “outside the home”!

I’m not sure what shape this new version of the DK will take, but I do know it will be diverting. It began over 4 years ago as a “learning to cook” blog, but I have definitely made a few dishes since then!

Sure, food blogging is old news. Everyone blogs, right? That’s all right. I know there’s not much new under the sun, but it is still amusing. I enjoy sharing recipes, discovering new ways to do things in the kitchen, hosting dinner parties & making people happy with food. I’m not the best photographer nor am I a profoundly articulate writer… but I’m still going to have fun on here.  :)

P.S. If you are wondering about old posts, I am going to occasionally share items I wrote about in the past. I just wanted to start fresh! Thanks for joining me!
