#FoodieFriday

I’d like to start a new Foodie Friday format for weeks when getting into the kitchen to create and photograph just won’t happen. I’ve been pinning delicious food ideas for a couple of years now, and I’ve accumulated 350 pins solely dedicated to my love of food. This week I was inspired by the cooler temperatures that finally made their way to Northwest Georgia — I’m all about apples and pumpkins during the autumn months, and I’ve always got room for dessert!

First up, we have the Brown Eyed Baker’s apple cheesecake crumb bars. Oh. My. Yum! Don’t these look just amazing?

Next we’ve got this apple pie cake. While I’m typically pretty clever in the kitchen, pie crusts are my enemy. I opt for cookie crumbs, butter, and sugar whenever possible — or I put my husband to work since he’s got the whole rolling pie dough thing down. When I saw this recipe, I was delighted. I prefer the texture of cakes, so this went straight to my food Pinterest board.

And what about these pumpkin doughnut muffins? Cooking Classy shared this recipe,inspiring me to bake a batch of little pumpkin muffins coated in cinnamon sugar. They were gone in a flash!

I’ve become dependent on coffee over the past two years, and I love flavoring it. This time of year, everyone’s all about the pumpkin spice latte. It’s hard to find someone who makes a good one in my rural community, especially now that we’ve lost our wonderful little chocolate cafe. This sounds like a great idea for the chillier days ahead.

Cooking Classy snatched my heart when I saw these caramel apple mini-cheesecakes with streusel topping. Everything about these delicious looking desserts screams “eat me!” Of course, my thighs are beginning to scream at me because I’m attempting to shrink them once again, but viewing contains zero calories, right?

Finally, I’m a sucker for secret ingredients that change things up. Adding pudding mix to cookie dough batter? Sounds like fun. Adding pumpkin spice pudding mix to cookie dough? Sounds like a festive little treat! I can’t wait to try this out.
