The Pumpkin Patch and a Few New Recipes!

A couple of weeks ago, we ventured out to Paradise for our annual visit to the pumpkin patch. We love going to the pumpkin patch each year. There are so many pumpkins to choose from, we had to get more than a couple:)
Here is Patrick acting like a little kid pulling a wagon!
The Paradise Pumpkin Patch is great because they even provide wagons and snippers to use. I love to cook, and am always up for trying a new recipe. Here are a few I have tried recently. Pizza twist My mom got me the Taste of Home Halloween magazine. There are so many fun treats and dinners. I love Halloween and have really been in the mood to make festive foods:)

We had mexican night with some friends and I was in charge of desserts. I love the Tres leches from Cafe Rio so went in search of a recipe. It was kind of intimadating, but turned out good.
