One of our favorite places to be is in the kitchen. We love to bake and cook and it all stemmed from our mom's passion of cooking. She would find a recipe that she loved, and then make it all year long. We used to say, "That was the year of the cheesecakes" or "That was the year of cinnamon rolls." Some of our fondest memories revolve around cooking together in the kitchen. We love to get together as family and contribute our best recipes for the meal. And we are constantly calling each other saying, "You've got to try this recipe!" We'd like to share our favorite recipes with you. So, happy cooking, happy baking, happy eating, and then happy exercising afterwards to burn those calories!

Pumpkin Squares


One of the reasons I love fall is because of the smells of the wonderful baking spices: cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, etc. etc. etc! A recipe that has become a family favorite are Pumpkin Squares. They taste amazing with ice cream, whip cream, or plain, and you can eat them warm, cold, or even room temperature. I love all the possibilities!
