I'd like to report that my efforts to live a healthier lifestyle (i.e., smarter diet and more exercise) are already showing some results. I hate to speak too soon, but I've managed to achieve 15% of my weight loss goal, and I'm generally feeling more energized.
These Pumpkin Spice Latte Cupcakes are a great copycat of the popular Starbucks fall drink. The pumpkin, coffee, and spices go together so well, and who can resist a cute cupcake with a fun green straw. So a few weeks ago, my family and I had a chance to go see Hillsong Live in concert.

It feels good to flex my culinary/photo muscles again. and what better way to get back into the swing of things, then with my favorite fruit ever...blueberries!
I know Thanksgiving is just around the corner and the menus are probably mostly set in stone, but I had to share this pie recipe with you before time runs out. It's a good and easy last-minute pie to make if you want to add another dessert.
