Frayed Roses and Burnt Ribbon Cliips
I've been using the frayed fabric roses that I used on the headbands on clips. Great solution for those little ones that won't wear a headband. I've also made some clips using burnt ribbon circles. Just experimenting :) Making some Christmas presents while I'm at it!

Rocky Road Fluff Bars
So I posted a few weeks about my YUMMY Peanut Butter Fluff bars.....which I LOVE LOVE LOVE. I decided to change it up this time and make Rocky Road Fluff bars. Just as good. Chewy. Nutty. Marshmallowy. And now I am contemplating even more adjustments - butterscotch chips, mint chips....hmmmm. For now, here are the Rocky Road version. Enjoy!
Rocky Road Fluff Bars
3 T butter
12 ounces chocolate chips (I used all my half empty bags of semi and milk chocolate chips)
1 can sweetened condensed milk
15 oz (or so) mini marshmallows
2 cups dry roasted almost, chopped
Melt butter and chips over low heat. Add sweetened condensed milk and about 10 oz marshmallows (doesn’t have to be exact). Heat until marshmallows are melted.Scatter 1 cup almonds and half of the reserved marshmallows on the bottom of a greased 9x13 pan. Pour chocolate mixture on top and top with the rest of the almonds and marshmallows. Refrigerate before cutting. Best when cold.

~THANKFUL~
I love Thanksgiving because we get to spend the day outside with family and friends at a fishing camp on a nearby river. We fish, take pontoon rides, feed the horses, ride ATVs, play and talk (and eat, did I forget eating??). It's a relaxing day enjoying the beautiful world God has given us. Picture perfect. We are blessed.
I hope you have a wonderful Thanksgiving wherever that may be.

Pumpkin Crumb Coffee Cake
I got this recipe from AllYou magazine and it's a keeper! Moist, nice crumb topping, PUMPKIN! My girls helped me make and eat this yummy treat. This is even better the next day. Did I mention it's very moist and the crumb topping is WONDERFUL?

1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
Pinch of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cold, cut into pieces
Cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon cinnamon
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/3 cup vegetable oil
3/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
1 15-oz. can pumpkin
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup packed dark brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
Preparation
1. Make topping: In a bowl, stir together flour, brown sugar, salt and cinnamon. Add butter and combine with fingertips until mixture is crumbly. Refrigerate while making batter.
2. Make cake: Preheat oven to 350ºF. Butter and flour a 9-by-13-inch cake pan. In a small bowl, combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt and spices.

Pour batter into cake pan and spread evenly. Sprinkle with reserved topping.
3. Bake cake until a toothpick inserted into center comes out clean, 45 to 50 minutes. Allow to cool in pan on a wire rack at least 20 minutes.
