Recently I posted this Pumpkin Eggnog Pie over at Mom Spark. Head on over to check it out!

These tasty little treats only require two ingredients. As I experienced, they are also a great way to use leftover crescent dough. I had used a partial can of dough for another recipe and was wondering what to do, besides just making crescent rolls of course. You can make them into basic turnovers, roll them up in a spiral like a normal crescent roll, or make them pinwheel style as I did. Enjoy!

A few weeks back my daughter updated her indoor fairy garden to have a fall theme. This was actually before she had a Halloween theme, but I hadn't gotten around to posting the pictures till now.

If you haven't seen this before, basically an oversized somewhat shallow basket is used for a container, which is filled with a large piece of styrofoam cut to fit. We hot glued a large piece of moss onto the styrofoam and let it set up and dry, then added the decor. There are no fairies in this old picture because after a Summer of playing, the original fairies all broke and we have replaced them.

The fairy garden was just changed out again to have a Christmas theme. What can I say, we are excited for Christmas!

My notes:
-Next time around I would add shredded cheddar or pepper jack cheese for more flavor, probably 1/3 cup.
-These are best eaten the same day, as refrigerating them tends to make the crescent dough soft.

I am kicking myself for not trying the famous 'no knead' bread that has been talked about the last few years. I tried it out and I am here to tell you guys that this recipe is fantastic. It comes together so quickly that it is hard to believe such great results can be made, but believe it!

This recipe came from the blog Simply So Good. If you would benefit from step by step photos, or browsing the hundreds of comments regarding this recipe, head on over to Simply So Good and check it out.

Hooray for the weekend! Today I am bringing a cookie recipe, courtesy of the famous and incredible blog, Kevin & Amanda. It incorporates flavors of chocolate, sea salt, caramel and coffee, which all happen to be flavors I love.

Many thanks to Kevin & Amanda for this recipe. It is a new favorite at our house, especially by my four year old who claims to love coffee and all spicy foods. I think he is going to be quite an adventurous eater when he grows up. Enjoy!

A few notes about this recipe. I winged it as I went, adding in vegetables that I had on hand. If you do this as well, I would recommend sauteing them first. I find that anything made with crescent dough from a can is best eaten right away. If it sits in the fridge for several days it can get a bit soggy, so plan on eating this fresh.

When I made this, I overfilled my crescents so I ended up with six instead of eight. You might want to have all your crescent rectangles laid out on the counter and add a portion of the filling before you start closing them up to make sure you have enough filling to go around. Or you can do what I do, which is make nutella crescents with the leftover dough.
