My weekend had so much potential, but most of it was spent taking care of @hudson.thegoldenpup Poor thing wasn’t feeling well and needed some TLC. ⁣
⁣
Staying home allowed me to catch up on things around the house and queue some holiday movies for when the season hits. Okay, I may have watch a holiday movie (or two), but I’m not sorry.⁣
⁣
Anyway, here are some maple pecan bars for you to add to your holiday menu or movie watching snacks 😋⁣

There’s pie and then there’s Milk Bar Pie 😍⁣
⁣
Have you had milk bar pie? Otherwise known as crack pie? It has an oat cookie crust and a filling that is pretty indescribable. It’s kind of like a custard, but richer, thicker and gooey.⁣
⁣
This is the kind of pie that will turn heads this holiday season. Full recipe and video on the blog!⁣

This weekend flew by and I didn’t even do that much. Watched Netflix, made Sunday morning waffles and walked @hudson.thegoldenpup around Denver. What did you get up to?⁣
⁣
Sometimes I have to remind myself that it’s okay not having tons of plans, especially being a new city. It’s nice to sit back and relax when you have the chance 😌 ⁣
⁣
One thing I wish I had done was make more of these apple crisp bars. It’s the most popular recipe on the blog right now and I’m envious of each and every one of you who baked them this weekend! It’s one of my favorite recipes too ❤️⁣

It finally feels a bit like fall in Denver 💛⁣
⁣
I took Hudson hiking over the weekend to take in the Colorado foliage and today I’m able to wear a light sweater without overheating. The crisp mornings have me even more in the mood for fall baking. Who’s with me?⁣
⁣
These pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies are like a cloud of autumnal spices. Find the recipe on the blog!⁣

Happy birthday to my sweet Hudson! ⁣
⁣
@hudson.thegoldenpup brings so much joy into my life and is always up for an adventure. I can’t believe he’s now two ✌🏼🐕⁣
⁣
If you have a fur baby, I recommend making this dog cake. The pumpkin and applesauce is easy in sensitive tummies and the peanut butter yogurt frosting is irresistible for pups!⁣

I swear I do more than sit at home baking donuts coated in cinnamon sugar.⁣
⁣
These mini pumpkin donut muffins are actually from 2017 and I’m having an urge to bake them again. They crossed my mind when I was baking apple cider donuts and now I can’t seem to forget them!⁣
⁣
❗️Very important question: Are you team apple or team pumpkin? ⁣

I’d be lying if I said I won’t miss fall in New England 🍂⁣
⁣
Apple picking at the local orchards and watching cider be made from scratch was just one of my favorite fall activities in Connecticut. ⁣#nostalgia
⁣
Don’t get me wrong, Colorado has been delivering crisp autumnal mornings and pretty soon I’ll be heading to the mountains to see the Aspen trees turn yellow 💛⁣
⁣
In the meantime, I’ll be getting a full dose of fall with these baked apple cider donuts and if you don’t have a donut pan, use your muffin tin for this recipe! ⁣
