This Thanksgiving, I was a little let down about the amount of overeating I had done. I only got to feast at ONE Thanksgiving meal! And no leftovers! OH NOES! After spending the week smelling the delish leftovers that work people were microwaving at lunchtime, I decided that I was going to undertake my own personal Thanksgiving feast. How exciting! I made a list of all the recipes I would make, all the ingredients I would need, and set to work planning a timetable.

Halloween Cake Pops
I made some more of Bakerella's famous Cake Pops, I am so addicted! They are totally easy to make, the possibilities for decorations are endless, and people are always SO impressed with the finished product, they look so gorgeous I can't even believe I made them! Oh, not to mention the fact that they are ridiculously delish.
Number One Most Favorite Cookie Ever!
SUGAR COOKIES, YUM!!!! Or, more precisely, The Best Rolled Sugar Cookies, recipe courtesy of Jill Saunders on Allrecipes.com.

Second-favorite Cookie Ever!
I have found a new cookie recipe, courtesy of Taste of Home that has given my number 1 favorite cookie a run for it's money. I'd like to introduce Honey Peanut Butter Cookies, my newest craving and guilty addiction! It was very easy to make, and this recipe made about 50 cookies, yum! I used crunchy almond butter in place of creamy peanut butter, and, man, were they fantastic!

I could not stop scarfing these down. Highly recommended, 5 stars! Utterly delish.

Great Pumpkin Contest of 2009
Every year, my family gets together for a pumpkin carving party, where we (duh) carve pumpkins and eat delicious snacks. Beginning last year, the BF and I also have our own private pumpkin carving party, and we watch scary movies and roast pumpkin seeds while we carve. It has become a competition between us who can carve the better pumpkin, and, so sad for him, I always win. I must say, I am a fantastic pumpkin carver; I must have inherited that skill from my Mom, 'cause she is a super carver too. I love carving pumpkins! This year, I did a scary jack-o-lantern-headed scarecrow blowing in the wind, and the BF did a spooky face peeking through some blinds.

Wow, those are pretty awesome! Props to the BF, who lent his awesome camera skills. Unfortunately, we may have carved a tad too early, because it is one and a half weeks away from Halloween and our pumpkins have already started to rot. My jack-o-lantern head folded back on itself, so now it just looks like a headless scarecrow. Kinda loses the effect.

Cake Pops!!!!
I found this super-nifty and wildly creative recipe on the flog of Bakerella, who just makes the most adorable tasty-looking treats. I am telling you, this lady is incredibly talented! Just looking at her pictures is a feast for the eyes. Her sweets almost look too good to even eat! I looked all over the internet, and no one can seem to come to a concensus about who invented these delish snacks. It's not even on Wikipedia! I have wanted to try making these for some time now, and am so glad I did! Although my first try took 4 and a half hours, I am sure it will be faster in the future, now that I know what I am doing.

OMG I Heart My Food Processor!
Mom and Dad gave me this AWESOME Cuisinart 11 Cup Food Processor for my birthday (all the way back in August)! I have used it for so so so much, I just love the heck out of it! The first thing I did with it was to make home-made cat food for my high-maintenance allergic cat (lamb and peas, he eats better than I do!).
