Cherry Bites

This morning a big cold front blew through!

It is almost chilly enough to throw on a pair  jeans with a sweatshirt.

Actually it was the perfect day to be weeding the garden.

I came across my first pumpkin growing on the vine.

I am so excited!

This is the first time I have had pumpkins in the garden.

When there is a little chill in the air,

it always gets me in the baking mood.

I decided to make a sweet treat for the pipeliner.

He always thinks he needs a little "snack" before bed.

This morning I had came across the last jar of cherry pie filling leftover from last year.

If you ever can any pie filling this stuff is the bomb!

It makes such a thick filling.

And it holds up even after a year!

Just Google it to find the website. They offer some great products!

I didn't want to do a pie.

Then I remembered a quick little dessert that is always a favorite.

Cherry Bites!

Last week I had made a batch of freezer crescent rolls.

If you have never tried these,

may I suggest making them as soon as possible.

YUM!

Anyways, I laid out some of the dough to thaw.

When it was ready I just unrolled the dough.

Put them into a greased muffin tin.

Then added a couple of teaspoons of the cherry pie filling.

Bake them at 375 F. for 12 minutes.

Remove them from the muffin pan to cool.

I use a cup of powdered sugar plus 2 tbsp. of milk to make a frosting for drizzling over the top.

Mmmmm....I bet they will taste good tomorrow morning with a hot cup of coffee!

While waiting for the cherry bites to bake,

a package came to my door.

The material I ordered from ebay!

I am not quite sure what I want to make out of it.

But for now I added some cafe curtain rings

and made a quick window treatment.

It is hanging in the laundry room for now.

I just heard the weatherman say low 50's possibly some upper 40's

predicted for tonight.

Brrrrrrr....

Oh yeah,

I am definitely digging out the sweat shirt!
