Pumpkin Pie Dream Bars: All the flavors of fall baked into a heavenly dream bar! What a way to kick off the fall season If you're a regular on my blog, then you know that I've been dying to ring in the fall season!

Five ingredients + 30 minutes = peach tart perfection. Now that is my kind of math. Simple. Straightforward. No calculators required.

I'm lucky that some of my closest friends are fellow food bloggers here in the Salt Lake City area. We get together not only to enjoy food, talk shop and swap ideas, but we've become like a little family.
Oh hey, it's pie time. And with the oven being a hot commodity during the holidays, I thought I'd share an incredibly easy to-make, no-bake, show-stopping pie. This is also my entry for Better Homes and Gardens' Christmas Baking Contest. I'm honored that they invited me to participate.
Here it is, Thursday night. This post is scheduled to go up tomorrow morning, and the easy part is done; The cake is baked (and tasted) and photographed. Often, these are the hard parts, but today the hard part is coming up with something to say.
So, I have a problem. I feel like half of my posts start like that. I guess I have a lot of problems. But this particular problem occurs when I'm starving for dinner and it's still like TEN MINUTES away. What is a girl supposed to do? Break into the dessert.
