No time to bake a pie?

How are you feeling on this Thanksgiving eve? If you are like me, you have been baking all morning!

Since we are hosting Thanksgiving at our house, I've been baking away all week. Today, instead of making a traditional pumpkin pie, I made Pumpkin Pie Bites. I found them at Bakerella and thought it was such a cool idea!

I found that they needed to be baked them for 16 minutes, so keep an eye on them. I, of course, had to try one and they are delicious. I plan on serving them with a little bowl of whipped cream on the side.

Hope this helps with that last minute baking!

Pumpkin and Chocolate

Could it get any better?

I love Martha Stewart. She can be cold, demanding, set totally unattainable goals for the normal housewife, but isn't that part of her appeal? I find her so intriguing.

How in the world does she get all her sheets changed every 3 days? How does she do all these arts/crafts things while running a huge empire? I think we all know the answer to these questions... Help. She has help, a lot of it. I don't have help. I have myself and my husband. So, I read her website, watch her show (sometimes), and gaze at all her items for sale at the store.

I know that one day I'll have time for all her crafts/homekeeping. I also know that at that time my babies will be grown and I'll long for these days of chaos.

Where was I? Oh yeah, the bars.

I found this recipes when I was looking for something "Fall" to bake. Let me tell you, they are WONDERFUL. Yes, they are full of butter, and yes they are not healthy at all, but man, they are good.

I did change one thing, sorry Martha. I only used 1/2 the chocolate chips because I like the pumpkin taste and even then, to me, it was a bit too much chocolate (and I love chocolate).

Super easy. Try them, let me know what you think.
