Fall = Pumpkin Cake

It was such a sweet, sweet Summer, I'm already missing the lazy days on the River and not caring what in the world my children dressed themselves in. Fall came quickly in Fredericksburg this year, before I even blinked leaves are turning and there is a chill in the air. It's that chill that has me craving my favorite fall desserts. Pumpkin cake always falls at that top of that list.

Normally, when I make pumpkin cake I make a simple sheet cake with cream cheese icing. This year I fancied it up a little bit and tried my hand at the popular drip cakes. Always fun to mix up a simple recipe into something new.
I have so many variations of this recipe, I'll include a few below.

Pumpkin Cake Recipe:
4 eggs, beaten
1 15oz. can pumpkin
2 c. sugar
1 c. oil
2 c, flour
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Beat eggs, pumpkin, sugar and oil in large bowl. Add in remaining ingredients, do not over mix. Pour into prepared pans and bak…

Sweet Potato Queens

Two recipes to share today, one was given to me by a friend of a friend turned friend, Kitty. This is the most wonderful Margarita on the rocks that I've ever had. When made frozen, this margarita takes on a frothy consistency which makes it all too easy too drink. Kitty is a fantastically fun person which is fitting for this drink. Enjoy...

Sweet Potato Queens Knock You Naked Margarita

12 oz. frozen limeade
12 oz. tequila
12 oz. 7-Up
1 Corona

Mix all ingredients in a pitcher along with orange, lime and lemon slices. Let sit at least 20 minutes in fridge before serving over rocks or blending with ice. (If serving frozen, remove fruit slices prior to blending).

The other recipe is one that my daughter Emma June and I discovered in one of our library books from our weekly trip. The book was called Apple Farmer Annie and the recipe is Applesauce Cake. It turned out perfectly moist with just the right amount of sweet and spice or as Emma June says, "sweet and tasty".

Limericks Eats & Treats

Just seeing a photo of Limericks Eats & Treats warms my heart! Growing up in old Ferry Farm in the '80s & '90s meant Jack's Market was a part of your every day. My brother and I would ride our bikes or when roller blades were all the rage, blade on over for our daily dose of root bear, Slush Puppies and Whatchamacallit Bars.

When I heard that a local couple had purchased the market after many, many years of it sitting dormant, I began following their progress on their Facebook page. It's been a long road to completion but the building was completely renovated, a patio has been added and they are now open for business!

My mom and I took the kids over last week for our first visit and were so impressed with all the owner's hard work. They offer a full ice cream counter, homemade baked goods/confections, kettle corn and a full menu. http://www.limerickseatsandtreats.com/menu

We ordered pretty much one of everything they offered, everything was great but the…
