I think I had mentioned my family was doing a Pumpkin Throwdown at Thanksgiving. Here are the entries... ironically the savory dish was the winner!
Here are the entries:
Pumpkin Pecan Cheesecake Bars with Salted Caramel Glaze (my entry)
Pumpkin Spice Cake Balls with Cream Cheese Icing
Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
Pumpkin Caramel Bars
Pumpkin Fluff Cake
The Healthy Entry: Pumpkin/Cranberry/Spinach Smoothie Base with OJ and Apple Cider
The Savory Entry: Pumpkin Chicken Enchiladas (also the ultimate winner!)

Wow - serious pumpkin throwdown. And pumpkin chicken enchiladas sounds awesome!0

Not as impressive as some of the stuff in here, but I'm excited to have something to share (instead of just lurking/drooling). Pumpkin cookies with brown butter frosting.0 -
Another pumpkin cheesecake, plus all of it's little sad, sunken babies. It tasted good though!

Kruggeri, I thought for sure your entry for the Throwdown would win, because it looks the best!0

Thanks! It actually was a pretty evenly matched challenge - every entry got at least one vote. Well except for the pumpkin/spinach drink - that was just weird...
I think the enchiladas won for the surprise factor. Although I have to say, they weren't even very pumpkiny, they just tasted like good chicken enchiladas... but when you've spent a couple of days eating traditional Thanksgiving food and lots of sweets, a mexican dish was a welcome change. My brother is crafty like that...

The enchiladas look good. Would try.
Chubby_checkers you had me at brown butter.0 -
Holy crap, you guys are killin' me with these pictures! I can't believe how many pages I've missed. Acrylics, those cupcakes are gorgeous!
I finally tasted the Talenti egg nog, and it was nice and creamy. I'll have a full serving soon. Also, I bought some Lucerne Mexican chocolate ice cream. It's almost as good as Steve's Mexican chili chocolate, just no crunchies in it.0 -
After reading about MrMs caramel in a can I had to try it.Pretty tasty. Now to make something to drizzle it on.

It's very, very good.
The way they talked about the flavor made me think about the Jeni's salted caramel ice cream. I wonder if that's the kind of complex burned flavor they were talking about.0 -

The second one was about ten seconds after the first one:)

I think the Fed Ex guy heard me yell "my Quest bars are here!" from the bottom of my driveway when I noticed he was out front. I really liked these, and they were even better heated for 10 seconds in the microwave.

My boyfriend's brother was in town this weekend for his birthday, so I was excited that we were getting a tres leches. I was less excited that we ended up with a chocolate one, and that it was tainted with fruit (I'm not a huge fruit lover). It wasn't bad, but definitely did not satisfy the tres leches craving.
Luckily it was consumed at a brewery. They only had 3 beers on tap, a pils, a wheat IPA, and a double IPA. I was happiest as I was the only one who like IPAs.
ETA: I'm super happy with my new non-ancient phone that takes pretty good pics.0 -
The idea of that fruit on chocolate is not very appealing to me, but the cake itself is pretty!0
