Yum


For a little while now I have been receiving in the mail the hard copy of Kraft Foods & Family. Pictures are always scrumptious, and I like that most recipes seem fairly straightforward, simple, in plain English and use everyday ingredients I am more likely to have or acquire. The website has the added benefit of being searchable.

Even though we have been 90+ degrees today, I have Fall on my mind. I can't wait to try this recipe.
Pumpkin Spice Frosted Snack Cake
Enjoy the delicious flavor of pumpkin pie in this sweet and perfectly spiced cake. Each bite is lusciously moist thanks to a helping hand from Miracle Whip Dressing.
