Hot Fudge Brownie for Two

Maybe it's the pregnancy talking, but this ooey gooey stack of brownies from Life with the Crust Cut Off looks absolutely divine! I doubt I'll get around to making it before the baby gets here, but it's definitely going on my list of recipes to try.

How to Oven Dry Fresh Herbs



I don't know about you, but for me, trying to grow herbs always results in an overabundance. The plants seem to produce way more than I can use. Feathers in the Woods has a great post about using an oven to dry herbs. Very helpful!

Pumpkin Dip

I'm not a huge fan of pumpkin pie, but this pumpkin dip from Jay Tried and True sounds super yummy! You could pair it with cookies, marshmallows, crackers, etc.

How to Make Homemade Vanilla

Imitation vanilla (aka vanillin) is full of chemicals made to mimic the flavor of real vanilla. I've stopped buying imitation vanilla, but it can be so expensive. I'd love to take it one step further and start making my own! Saving with Shellie has some great information about doing just that.

Frankenstein Twinkies Pops

These twinkies from This Silly Girl's Life are so dang cute! They look like Frankenstein, but you have no idea that there's actually a Twinkie underneath all that chocolate. Yum!
