Doll Jewelry

 

 

 

 

 

Just some of the jewelry that my dolls have been wearing! Do you like making jewelry for your dolls? What's your favorite piece that you've made? I think that the flower bracelet is one of my very favorites. Next week I'll show you how to make it. It's lots of fun, so be sure to read it!
Happy Monday!

Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Stale bread is really just another excuse to make another dessert. And in this case, bread pudding!

 

Because it's fall, I thought that it would be fitting to make a pumpkin one. Personally, I would have preferred more pumpkin spice, but you add yours to taste. And so without further ado, here is the...

Pumpkin Bread Pudding Recipe

5 cups cubed bread (I used bagels)
4 eggs
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice (more or less)
pinch of salt
3 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup of pumpkin puree

1. Butter an 8x8 inch pan, then place the bread inside.

 

2. Whisk up the other ingredients in a bowl until smooth.

 

3. Pour the milk mixture over the bread. Let soak for about 20 minutes, mixing occasionally.

 

4. Bake at 350 degrees for 45-55 minutes.

 

5. Serve. Yum!

 

A bit of milk or cream helps to cool it off, and a squirt of whipped cream on top adds the finishing touch! (That, and I added a pinch of pumpkin pie spice as well. :))

 

Have you made any autumnal treats lately? I hope that you enjoyed them!

October Calendar

Happy October! As the first day of the month, it's time for a new calendar! Did you like September's? I had lots of fun using it! As I said before, I won't be posting from this one, although I'll still continue posting regularly. You can get the calendar here, then just right-click and save!

Happy Autumn!

(Mini!) Caramel Apples

Fall is the time of year that brings crisp air, crunchy leaves, and apples! Apples are a fall favorite, and a favorite something to make with them are caramel apples. We made some yesterday, but as a small twist, we made them mini sized!

 

After washing the apples,

 

we used a melon baller to make small round bits of them.

 

Then we melted the caramel,

 

put the apples on sticks,

 

and dipped them in! It was lots of fun, a little bit messy, but all delicious!

 

We let them chill for a while before we ate them. They make great little treats!

 

Enjoy!

 

I was going to take pictures with my dolls to use for the apple orchard post, but the apples didn't last long enough. They were really good. :)
I will make a calendar for October, although I won't be posting from it. Did you enjoy using the calendar for this month?

Whatever you do with apples this fall, I hope that you enjoy them!
