I recently stumbled across your blog and you have some great items in your shop! I'm not particularly gifted when it comes to crafty/creative things myself, so I always appreciate those who are :)

My favorite fall dish is a toss-up...but I'm going to go with pumpkin bars with cream cheese frosting! Paula Deen has a good recipe on the Food Network website.

Hey you! Nice scores at the show. You know I love a giveaway, especially if it's your stuff! Favorite Fall dish? SOUP, duh. Any soup... but most definitely beef stew. Yum!

Michele Reed said...

pumpkin bread. the kind you make at home is good(from a box or scratch).....but for instant satisfaction, go to Starbucks and grab a piece from the case. oh yummie! ;) thanks for such an awesome giveaway, it's a very pretty necklace!

Favorite Fall recipe is a tie between Paula Deen's macaroni and cheese (My sister-in-law made it for us and it was delish) and taco soup. I love anything that can be done in the crockpot.

Thanks for the well wishes, felling better now and the anniversary wishes, we had a great one. Thanks!

A friend asked me recently "pearls or diamonds?" My answer is pearls.

Fave Fall dish - sweet potatoes, either mashed or roasted - no sugar, just butter and salt.

Oooh. Pumpkin chip cookies. With icing, and served with cider. Hands down my favorite autumn treat. :)

Love your page! I'm a big Marilyn Monroe but I would say PEARLS are a girls best friend :)

Favorite fall dish? Pumpkin roll! Preferably made by my grandmother, something about anything she makes is dElish!!!

my favorite fall dish is the pie plate. You know, it never really gets used at any time of year, and it ALWAYS holds something scrumptious. Okay, totally joking, I know a "dish" isn't what you are looking for. My fav is pumpkin dump cake

My favorite Fall dish isPumpkin Bread. My mother-in-law recently gave me a great recipe and it freezes great, too!

Malaina Makino said...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE stuffing mostly because I'm too lazy to make it any other time. It does have to be made without onions and raisins though. My mom's stuffing is the bestest. Oh yah, and I do love your soup recipes, rachel (tomato soup and tortilla soup).

My favorite dish that compliments any dinner is home made cranberry relish
I use 2 bags of fresh cranberries. Sorting out any soft berries.
I make sure all fruit is either rinsed, peeled and cored.
Pulse cranberries 4 or 5X's in the food processor.
Throw in 1 orange cubed, no seeds, leaving "some" rind on.
Add 1 pear, 2 honeycrisp or fuji apples. Peeled, cored.
Pulse all together.
Add sugar to taste. Usually it ranges between 1-2 Cups of Sugar. throw in a pinch of salt here and there, and mix.
Let it sit over night and you have the best homemade cranberry relish ever!
Good for freezing to have all year round! Enjoy!!!!

I recently found your shop on Etsy and had a great time looking at all of your beautiful work! My favorite fall dish is my great aunt's pumpkin pie. While she's no longer with us, my aunt now makes it every Thanksgiving and by special request...makes one soley for me to take home. =) My favorite tradition is having a slice the morning after Thanksgiving with lots of fluffy whipped cream! Yum!

Thanks for the fun giveaway...
