Really? Thanksgiving is next week?? Maybe this Sweet Potato and Ginger Pudding will start to put you in the right frame of mind. Very pumpkin pie-like, but without most of the fat.

I love the science lab meets kitchen feel of this set of two pipette vinegar bottles. And of course, they dispense exact measures of any liquid condiment you choose to display. Perfect for the haphazard cook in your life. {via design-milk}
I like desserts that present really well, but are simple to make on a moments notice. These Brown Sugar Baked Apples are the perfect example and the epitome of fall!

One of my biggest gifting pet peeves is when I can’t find a box that fits perfectly. I don’t want it to be too big, where I have to cram in a wad of tissue paper. Or too small, where the box is literally all bent out of shape. Luckily for me – and all of your other perfectionists – Sharilyn of lovelydesign is the same way. And took the initiative to create a pattern and set of instructions for the rest of us.
I love how grand something so simple can look. Like this pinecone door decor from sweet paul. It only takes a few minutes to put together and looks so festive on a paned door.
A pathetic admission: the only time and place I’ve ever eaten crepes was at an IHOP in L.A. while visiting a friend one summer. The word “international” was in the title of the dish though, so that’s got to count for something… right? SO SAD. Now I need a crepe pan so I can make some of these tasty Brown Sugar Strawberry Crepes in my own kitchen!
Posted In recipesToday is a success, if for no other reason than I finally learned the steps to making a perfectly messy bun similar to this one. {via A Cup of Jo}
