    Okay question-- do we want a separate thread for our Fall Feast challenge, or do you guys want to just post in this one? I'm thinking we could do the month of October at least, and then we can add November if ya'll want to.
    I was actually think about a question like that a few days ago. I would definitely do a different thread since it's more off a general anything goes feast, but I was questioning if it was going to be here in our group or out in the nutrition forum again. What do you think?

    I'm fine with it being in gen-pop and more people would find it-- but more people would find it, ya know? So we wouldn't really be able to toss hecklers like we can in here. I don't really mind them and am fine either way so whatever you guys think.

    What if you do a new thread in here, and in the nutrition forum post a link to the group thread like you did when you started this group. We can bump the gen pop thread, but you still have the mod power in here.

    If that didn't make sense it's due to lack of caffeine and ice cream
    I like it.

    I'm going to have to give pumpkin treats a try. It's not a flavor I go for. Time to expand my pallet.

    I'm not a huge fan either. I've got a pumpkin scones recipe that I like pretty well. And that's about it.

    I never used to like pumpkin anything. A few years ago, someone made me pumpkin bread, and I was like, "hey this is pretty damn good". Then I tried a pumpkin latte. Then pumpkin beer. It's all been downhill from there.... Ironically, I still don't like pumpkin pie...

    So one of my favorite clients came back to the gym as she is preparing for regionals (figure skating), our 2nd session of the week and they came in with this for me. 4 of them but I gave away 3. They were awesome.

    A brownie that looked like a cupcake due to all the layers. 7 layers to be exact.

    Brownie
    Graham cracker
    Cookie butter
    Oreo
    Peanut Butter
    Oreo
    Brownie

    Shut. Up. It doesn't look like much from the outside but man those layers are beautiful...

    Mmmhmmmm! My son came home with brownies that had Oreos in the middle. They were freaking amazing, so I can only imagine this brings it up to 11.

    It seriously was. Soon she'll bring me several boxes of Count Chocula since she told me they are back for the season.

    She will be missed when she goes to Nationals and maybe, hopefully, the Olympics. Unless she takes me with her lol. I should look into being certified for that.

    NY only has Count Chocula seasonally? I'm pretty sure we have it all the time, at least the Count Chocula. I just bought a box of that and Boo Berry yesterday, because it was on sale. I hope she makes the Olympics, that would be cool!

    My kids are on their third box of Count Chocula but I'm not buying more. I haven't tried it. We only get it in September and October in NJ too.

    That cupcake looks totally divine.

    And about pumpkin - I'm odd. I love it for a couple weeks, then I'm totally over it until the next year.

    I probably won't join another challenge though, I've been really hungry lately and I end up going over most days when I have sweets, so I try and skip them when I can, especially as moderation has been more difficult :sad:

    Yeah, I had a little of that drool thing going on, too. Happy Birthday to Dora! I actually keep forgetting there's a savory thread.

    That's funny, I commented on your post in savory thread about where's dessert! I should have thought to check here first..

    Cake in the fridge is never a bad thing....

    Dessert at lunch... Bread pudding with cranberries, apples, walnuts, some kind of cream on top, chocolate sauce and custard. So delicious.

    I'm making cupcakes that look like tubs of popcorn for a movie-themed party this weekend. Here's some of the "popcorn"-- it's made out of mini-marshmallows. I think it turned out pretty good.

    ^^^Haha. I just realized that birthday cake comment was directed at me. Don't worry, in a month.




    My skater client brought me a treat today. She went to a Japanese food festival yesterday.

    The stick is made of pretzel. And it's sooooooooo good.

    Oh cool!

    My second pint of candy bar pie had a lot more pretzel in it. I can't decide if I like it better or not. :laugh:

    Oh yea that's right. You're not really a fan of pretzel. Me forgot.

    It's growing on me. I've never been a huge fan of sweet and salty mixed together but I've been branching out lately.

    Super excited to share this one... We went to an art festival yesterday and they had a vendor selling ice cream cookie sandwiches... Lots of flavors to choose from but I chose Spicy Chocolate Caramel....

    Chocolate Chili Cookies (notice the red pepper flakes!) and Dulce De Leche Ice Cream....

    It was a tough call between that and the Pecan Sugar Cookies with Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream....
