pudding on some frosting

thanksgiving is 17 days away...but who's counting?! one of my favorite things about thanksgiving are my grandma's pumpkin bars. my cousins and i have already been discussing how excited we are about eating our fair share of them this year. ever since october hit this year, i have been craving them. i decided i couldn't wait any longer so i emailed my mom who has the recipe and made my own version of grandma's famous pumkin bars. pumkin cupcakes...the recipe worked perfectly and it made 2 dozen delicious, moist cupcakes. the best part in my opinion? the homemade cream cheese frosting (i doubled what the recipe called for) :o) enjoy!

pudding on a fall dinner party

i love fall. the trees, cooler weather and of course...the food! tablescapes get a new look with fall essentials. pumpkins, leaves etc usually adorn the table. my parents recently threw a dinner party and my mom decorated the table with some beautiful fall factors. she is so creative :o)

here is a caption from my mom!
Fun Fall, affordable centerpiece! Everything is either from the front yard or is natural! For height I placed a fresh flowers, leaves, acorn and candles on a galvanized tray turned upside down. Randomly placed baby pumpkins and gourds add interest and color. The colorful table runner ties it all together and was on sale at Pier One for nearly nothing. Now I'm ready for a festive dinner party!

bread pudding on who i am

hello! welcome to my blog :o) i am allison, a college senior. as i was eating my complementary double chocolate bread pudding with my best friend jessica at one of our new favorite spots on campus, i was inspired to start this blog. i will be loving the most current fashion trends, tastiest recipes and all things home and DIY. i'm not an expert, just a self-proclaimed southern-belle who knows there are a lot of people out there who can relate to my interests. i am welcome to any and all ideas about any "pudding" topics...because almost anything can be "pudd" on.

pudding a smile on your face one blog at a time,
