Stormy is a Fan of Mine

Storm aka Maybelline is my 5 year old lovable AmStaf, she is the absolute BEST! and of course a fan of mine, like so many others. As soon as she hears the water running and sweet potato's falling into the sink to get cleaned, she is sitting waiting patiently.

yup, all veggies get scrubbed with soap before boiling. 

 

After I have removed the skin from each of the potatos, Stormy gets her treats! She doesn't take anything from the plate until I give her the "go ahead".  This is great, especially since I haven't been making her "homemade" stormy peanut butter treats.

 

 

Stormy definitely has gained weight over the past few weeks, time to hit the park again!

Only Treats Handed Out

This weekend my house was filled with the tasty smell of pies! I baked all day on Halloween, and gave out samples to the parents who were trick or treating with their little ones. All of the yuuuums that I heard from them as they tasted the warm pie were great. Too bad the weather was a damper and didn't bring out as many kids as in past Halloweens.

Orders have been coming in here and there, but enough to keep me content (for now). I will be selling pies at the Latino Celebration at my son's school next week, so this weekend will be very busy as I prep for those pies. I'm excited about how they have been "moving", it's a blessing to say the least.

Crispy Weather?

Well normally, we aren't pushing 70 degree weather in the middle of October, but what do you expect with the bombing of the moon? I do LOVE the weather, not to mention saving money on my oil bill for heating up the house. So it all works out well (for now).

But needless to say, it IS October and that means it's delicious pie season. Pumpkin pie, apple pie, and of course sweet potato pie. yuuuum! I started making pies last week and have been getting calls, well actually texts with people asking when they should be getting their pies.

Yes, I'm known for my sweet potato pie. I always make a massive number of pies during the holidays and this year after many convo's with my friends and family persuading me into going outside of my "circle", so to say, and offer the opportunity to others to experience the goodness.

Hope you enjoy!
