We're back from holiday... and I bet you didn't even know I was gone (thanks to my sneakily scheduled blog posts while away)! As you can see, we went to a beautiful place... and drove home with a very full car (there is actually a 4th child somewhere in the back there). We had such a great time, and I will tell you...

I just love smuggling vegetables into baking (remember the Chocolate Zucchini Cake?) and when they are quick and easy to make and have the added bonus of cream cheese icing... mmmmmmmmmm!! I found this delicious recipe here, and modified it slightly to fit with what I had in my cupboard (as I am sure you all do).  Don't have pumpkin pie spice?  Try...
