Pumpkin Crisp

I just love Fall! The crisp mornings and the beautiful afternoons -- there isn't much that's better than that!  It's also great to pull out those Fall recipes and enjoy some yummy morsels!

My sweet Jackson loves pumpkin . . .always has!  Today he'll be thrilled when he comes home from school and discovers 2 loaves of pumpkin bread, 6 "giant" pumpkin muffins and a pumpkin crisp cake!  That's the recipe I'm sharing today!  This is easy like a dump cake but oh, so much more delicious!

Pumpkin Crisp
1 - 15oz can of pumpkin
1 cup sugar
1 cup evaporated milk
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 box white or yellow cake mix
1/2 cup butter, melted
1/2 cup chopped pecans

Mix the first 5 ingredients together.  Pour into a lightly greased 9X13 pan.  Sprinkle cake mix evenly over mixture; sprinkle pecans evenly over dry mix and drizzle butter over the top.

Bake at 350 degrees for 1 hour or until golden brown.  Remove from oven and let stand 10 minutes before serving.  Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream, if desired.  If making your own whipped cream (which is the VERY best!), add a bit of nutmeg in the cream as you whip for a yummy twist!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers;  the best there are!  I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy!  They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup.  I found it at www.tastebook.com   I made some adjustments to the recipe.  Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients.  I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

 I've been to eat at Neiman Marcus one time. It was really good! "Everyone" talks about the Neiman Marcus cafe and the things they love from there.

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned.  We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
