I heart Whipped Cream


Do you know what's more heavenly than pumpkin pie? 
Pumpkin Pie with whipped cream. 
And you know what's the secret for unbelievable whipped cream? The one that makes you smile? Like really smile and go OhmyGod with your mouth full? 
A chilled bowl. 

And that's about it. Just add your cream the icing sugar, beat and voila! Gorgeous! 
Gorgeously delicious whipped cream.

My first ever sloppy joes!


I'd never made sloppy joes before. Mainly because I thought them to be boring. 
However, I woke up with a feeling, an "I want to cook something different today" feeling. And against all my prejudices and wrong attitude I made sloppy joes. 
And I wasn't all that much disappointed, I mean it isn't the best thing I've done but it is the kind of food that's easy to make and will feed a crowd. I am thinking kids birthday parties or when you have friends over. 
Or when you want to have a quick easy dinner that will ultimately make you feel good. 
Because this is comfort food. 
It's the kind of food that makes you feel homely. 
The kind of food that had my mom made it for me when I was a kid, I would probably love and declare it the best ever.

Say hello to the pie season!

n.n 
There are no words to express how happy I felt when this baby came out of the oven. 
At first I was slightly scared because it looked like a bomb ready to explode, but it all turned out okay and
quite good. 
I would have preferred it to be a little be more sugary and sweet, but then again I am crazy about sugar. 
The recipe was taken from Martha Stewart's Pies and Tarts Recipe book. 
The pumpkin pure was done from scratch... YAY me!
