Spending time with his parents isn't so bad either.  😅


Just kidding guys - I love hanging out with the two of you just as much as I do your precious pooch!

My weekend with this sweet family of three went by way too fast.  We managed to squeeze a lot of activities into a few short days though - I even did a little baking while I was there.  I know, I know - noone is surprised by that. 😅

Homemade apple fritters!🍎Amazing! And now, you're probably asking yourself why this blog post isn't about apple fritters. 🤷🏻‍♀️  The short answer is that I was on vacation and not in the mood to photograph the entire process.  I also kind of love that I have a perfectly acceptable excuse to make them again for the blog though.   😂

In an attempt to stick to the Fall apple theme - I'm sharing my recipe for a Fall inspired, apple butter filled pound cake.  It's a really simple twist on a classic pound cake recipe and in my humble opinion, it's a perfect Fall dessert.   If you want to make homemade apple butter - you can check out my recipe here, or you can just buy a jar at the grocery store.

I made 2 of these Apple Butter Pound Cakes in 2 days and I was not mad about it. 😅  They make great gifts for neighbors, teachers and friends.  These cakes were actually auctioned off at an old fashioned cake walk.🚶🏻‍♀️ I hope that the winners of my cakes enjoyed them as much as I did.
