Graveyard Dirt Cake Cups Recipe

October 29, 2015 By Allie

Are you looking for a spooky dessert for Halloween? Graveyard Dirt Cake Cups will be the perfect addition to your party table or as a fun treat for the kids.

While I was shopping, I browsed through the Halloween section and saw some neat edible decorations. I found little tombstones with bones that were meant to decorate cupcakes or cakes. As soon as I saw them, I knew they would go great on top of dirt cake. If you haven’t heard of dirt cake, it is a pudding mixture layered with crushed cookies served in a bowl or in cups. To go along with the graveyard theme, I used chocolate pudding and crushed chocolate cream-filled cookies to represent dirt. The Graveyard Dirt Cake Cups are a quick, no bake dessert that is perfect for a Halloween party or as a fun treat for the kids….

Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Sauerkraut is perfect dinner for Fall. This German dish only contains five ingredients and is ready in a few hours.

Fall is my favorite season. The weather is perfect and the scenery is beautiful. I also enjoy all the autumn activities and events. One October festival I would love to visit is the Oktoberfest in Munich, Germany. It’s a world famous autumn festival that features beer-drinking and merrymaking. The festival seems like it would be fun and I would love to visit the country where my ancestors lived. My family has lived in the middle of Pennsylvania Dutch country for a few generations now. But we still honor some of the German traditions like eating pork and sauerkraut for good luck on New Years. Since Oktoberfest is happening right now, I decided to celebrate by making Slow Cooker Kielbasa and Sauerkraut….

Sweet Potato Casserole Recipe

October 6, 2015 By Allie

Sweet Potato Casserole is always a hit! Everyone loves yummy sweet potatoes seasoned with cinnamon and nutmeg, and topped with a brown sugar pecan topping.

With the holidays almost here, making a full homemade meal can be difficult.

On busy nights or when I forget to pick up dinner ingredients, I can just grab a few out of the freezer and pop them in the oven. I also like to serve my Sweet Potato Casserole alongside the chicken breasts. …
