This is one of my fall favorites, amidst all of the pumpkin flavored everything out there. I have made these for work and home gatherings. Everyone loves them! These are especially good when that last minute on broil "toasts" the tops of the marshmallows.

I Ate: Pumpkin .....

Many people have asked me if I am obsessed with pumpkin spice. I would say that anyone who likes eating weird artificially flavored coffee, cheerios, cereal, and even pop-tarts because it has the name 'pumpkin spice' in it, or hitting up Starbucks everyday for their PSL fix is obsessed. I am not obsessed. That doesn't mean I haven't tried my fair share of pumpkin infused items that most would not rationally think would make it taste good. Let's talk about what I ate/drank recently that I would encourage anyone to try, and might change the minds of those that think us pumpkin lovers are crazy. Schlafly Pumpkin Ale This would surprise you. If the idea of eating froufrou beer turns you away from this seasonal flavor, I get it. I didn't try it until yesterday, which happened to be National Pumpkin Day. I thought, today I will try this in light of the holiday. AND it might suck. It didn't! Not overly sweet, not artificial. it's literally made from the ma...

Favorite Sushi Place in St. Louis

My boyfriend did not like the idea of sushi. Cold, raw sea creatures wrapped in seaweed and other unknown things. Something cooked and warm sounded more suitable. He asked me where i'd like to go for my birthday dinner. I love sushi, so obvious choice! We were also newer to the St. Louis scene, and wasn't sure what was good. It took us a while to find this place, but once we both tried it we were hooked. He started his sushi journey with a tame maki roll; the middle roll pictured here called the Sakura Roll . The salmon is fried, with cucumber, avocado and spicy mayo wrapped in pink soy paper. Guess what part he didn't like? The soy paper was pink ;). Now it's our go-to sushi place. It's Wasabi Sushi Bar in Town and Country. It's close, and they have Tuesday $6 sushi roll specials. So, that is where we spend a lot of our Tuesdays! We powered through these last Tuesday. From left to right are the Wasabi Special, Spicy Mango , Sakura, Spicy Omega, and my favo...

Whiskey Cupcakes

We helped Tyler's brother move from one end of Tennessee to the other. I wanted to bring a housewarming gift, and I came up with this recipe. On one of our trips we took down there, he took us to the Jack Daniels Distillery. It was a fun experience, and enjoyed the tasting room lined with all of their hand-made oak barrels filled with their aging whiskey. This recipe is adapted from www.delectablebakehouse.com. The whiskey and coffee make them super moist and the caramel frosting makes them more unique than the average cupcake. Ingredients 2 cups flour 3/4 cup cocoa or cacao powder. I used cacao powder. It adds an intense chocolate flavor which came out wonderfully in these cupcakes. Cacao powder has it's health benefits as well (as long as you don't put them in cupcakes all of the time :) ).  Because cocoa is processed at a higher temperature than cacao, the difference is the nutrients are more depleted than cacao.  2 cups sugar 2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp...
