My husband is a bit of a beer snob and rarely drinks a beer that comes from a can. That means I had more than enough bottle caps to make this bottle cap pumpkin craft! When we first moved to this house 10 years ago, we installed a bottle cap remover on the wall in the garage. We placed a box under it to catch all the caps that popped off. After 10 years, we have accumulated a whole bunch of bottle caps! I have been trying my hand at a few bottle cap crafts over the last year and honestly, even very uncrafty ME can turn a bottle cap into a … [Read more...]

This cocktail recipe is sponsored by Pinnacle® Vodka . All opinions are my own. #PinnacleCocktailClub #PinnacleVodka After a scorching hot and miserable summer, fall has finally arrived in the Atlanta area.

Paired with the wonderful flavors of pumpkin and candied ginger, this pumpkin bread is an absolutely … [Read more...]

Right after Christmas I was at Kroger doing my weekly grocery shopping and (being the slightly thrifty sort that I am) decided to check out the clearance shelves. To my surprise, I discovered dozens of cans of organic pumpkin all marked down to a ridiculously low price! Lucky me! Cheap AND organic doesn't happen very often. So, I bought them all and now have a stash of pumpkin to find creative uses for. This has posed a bit of a problem the last couple of months. First I went gluten free, now trying to eat Paleo and all my traditional … [Read more...]

This Pumpkin Pie Smoothie Recipe has been sponsored by Hamilton Beach but all opinions expressed here are my own. My daughter is 12 and is obsessed with smoothies. She loves combining fruit, yogurt and an assortment of 'add ins' to create her own unique smoothie recipe. I always make sure I have a wide variety of smoothie ingredients in the house so she can always make herself one. They are incredibly healthy so I am certainly not going to tell her no when she asks to make a smoothie! In honor of fall, … [Read more...]
