I think I couldn't have picked a better cake to celebrate the arrival of Fall. I know anything with apples is usually a big hit, but apricots are still around and I can't say no to that. The combination of apricots and cinnamon makes this a transitional cake, summer moving into autumn.
As a Blue Diamond Tastemakers blogger, I am sharing with you all this recipe for soft & thick Salted Caramel Almond & Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. This post is sponsored by Blue Diamond Almonds. I have to admit that when a little package from Blue Diamond showed up in the mail a couple of weeks ago I was pretty excited.
Moist and sweet pumpkin cupcakes with an easy cream cheese frosting. These cupcakes are perfect for pumpkin lovers! Ever since I met my husband nearly ten years ago, I've always told him I wanted to own a bakery. You know how some kids dream of becoming a lawyer, doctor, or even a vet when they grow up?
It's funny how certain things work out at times. Take writing for example. Honestly, it's always come very easily to me. My 12th grade English teacher once commented that I'm lucky she enjoys reading my essays so much, or she would probably fail me for turning them all in two weeks late.
I know, I know. The last couple of weeks of this blog have been filled with one decadent treat after another. Each one has been a diet killer in its own right. "So what about the dieters?", you ask.
Are you feeling neglected? I think my kitchenaid mixer is. My blogging neglect had a good reason though...I promise. I kinda-sorta got the itch to redecorate my kitchen at the last minute.

When it comes to dessert, sometimes it pays to go over the top. That is how I feel about these Maple Pecan Caramel Skillet Cookies. They start with a blondie cooked in a cast iron skillet. Not just any blondie, but one with white chocolate and pecans.
Saturday was the last day our local farmers' market was open for the season. Which means this will be the last Market Monday post until next May. I am definitely going to miss my weekly visits to the farmers' market, but with all of the holiday cooking and baking just ahead, I think the timing will be perfect.
