October Challenge

Last January we asked everyone who came to our Housewarming Party to bring us one of their favorite recipes. Well, I am embarassed to admit that until last night I hadn't made a single one. :( So, I have decided that I am going to make at least one a week for the rest of the month of October. Thanks to everyone who shared recipes with us...hopefully I do them all justice.

The first one I tried out was a recipe for Pumpkin Cookies from Amy Jackson (Varon). They were a perfect treat to kick-off the fall season. They were pretty simple to make and myself, Nic, and Justin (who came over for a sleepover last night) all really enjoyed them. I will admit that I think my frosting glaze could use some improvement. I only had fat free milk in the house and I think that is what caused my glaze to be a little too runny. It still tasted great and luckily appearance wasn't a huge issue since I wasn't making them to impress anyone. It was a lot of fun to try a new recipe and I'm looking forward to this week's recipe challenge. :)
