Apple Picks

I haven’t done an Apple Picks post in a few weeks, but I really love doing them!  I hope you enjoy reading them and get a chance to check out some blogs you might not know about yet.  I know I love reading posts like this on other blogs.  This is how I find out about blogs that I don’t read regularly (not like I need any more blogs to read!).  There is so much great stuff out there!

In celebration of Sesame Street’s 40th anniversary, Bakerella made Sesame Street Cake Pops.  I love ALL of her cake pops, but these are super cute!

If and when it’s my turn to host Thanksgiving, I’d love to use some of these Thanksgiving centerpiece ideas from Tip Junkie.

Lots of Thanksgiving crafts for the kids from The Crafty Crow

If you love spinach artichoke dip as much as I do, then you should definitely try Cassie’s Spinach Artichoke Lasagna.  Doesn’t that sound amazing?!  The Picky Apple doesn’t care for spinach artichoke dip, but I HAVE to try this!!

Here are directions on how to make your own pumpkin pie spice.  I’ve been going through this stuff like crazy, what with the Pumpkin Spice Granola and Pumpkin Spice Scented Playdough.  Definitely going to make my own next time!!

I am complete in love with this Book Page Wreath from Living with Lindsey.  Crafty wall decor projects are part of my 31 Things, and this wreath is at the top of my list of things to make!

We have a Christmas Book tradition which I’ll share soon, but this list of 20 of the best kid’s Christmas books is a great one!

Pumpkin muffins topped with gingersnap cinnamon chip streusel from Emiline at Sugar Plum.  Need I say more?

Tidy Mom is hosting a Love The Pie Party.  I’m participating with my Beef Cheddar and Potato Pie, and there are lots of great looking pie recipes if you need inspiration for the upcoming holidays.
