I have some wonderful news to share with you… Do you remember my Be an Overcomer post a few weeks ago? I dedicated it to my sweet father who’s been battling cancer but, we got some wonderful news yesterday!! His docs have declared him in remission. I am beyond grateful and just thought I’d share the good news 🙂
One other cool thing… that Blackberry Barista Balsamic Marscapone Tartlette and I are off to Seattle next week! I was so happy to receive the news and I can hardly wait… a total Foodie Mecca for me- Attending IFBC, having extra with the Girard Chefs, and of course all kinds of amazing food! YAY 🙂

Now, onto our delicious Pumpkin recipe… Pumpkin has got to be in my top 5 baking flavors ever.
I love it!
