Our Own Little Patch of {Edible} Pumpkins

Pretzels, white chocolate {thinned down with a little shortening and gel food coloring}, and a bag of M&M's eaten down to the green ones.

Give em' some skewers, a sheet of wax paper, and a mindful warning about poking their {or their brother's} eye out.

Then sit back and watch your own little pumpkin patch take shape.

Because

Because nothing brings out a smile on a toddler steeped in the post-nap grumpies quite like saying, "Wanna decorate the cake with sprinkles?!"

A Small Confession

I have a problem. It starts here...

It's my recipe box. Simple enough, right? Let's look deeper... Still not too bad, right? Well, let's pull some of the guilty parties out. Like this naughty one...

Or this bad boy...

Or this imposter...

It's bad. Very, very bad. So bad, in fact, that legendary family recipes have been lost in that tragedy of a recipe box. So I decided to combine two things I love. Baking and blogging. I figure if I can s.l.o.w.l.e.y post recipes that I love onto a blog, they will be nice and neat and kept in order forever and ever. Amen.

Some of you have already "found" me. Some of you haven't. Some of you could absolutely, positively care less. But in the event that you're interested in at least checking it out, you can find my recipe box regeneration project over at www.chowcity.blogspot.com. I hope to see you there!
