From My Kitchen to Yours


Recipe 411:
Fall is my favorite time to eat. The sweet and spice of cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, cloves and can't forget the pumpkin. The smell is delicious. This recipe was given to me by my old neighbor. Instantly it became a family favorite that is baked in my home all of October and November. There is quite a bit of ingredients but it won't disappoint. The homemade icing takes them from good to OH SOOO GOOD. I hope you and your family enjoy these as much as we do.
