Cake Bread Pudding

Crab Rangoon Bombs
Making Crab Rangoon at our house is a family affair. It’s David’s specialty (using his mom’s recipe). Somehow, we always end up with too much filling and not enough wrappers. You can freeze the filling, of course, but it’s more fun to make Crab Rangoon Bombs! David came up with the idea of making these…

Pumpkin Pie Cheesecake Swirl Muffins
It’s officially Pumpkin Spice season and mom asked for pumpkin muffins. Our family is making an effort to reduce the amount of sugar we consume but not cut it out, completely.
