Everything is coming up pumpkin…
Yes, I know fall is behind us and the big box coffee shop hoopla with all their spiced-pumpkin-brûlé-latte-topped-with-a-nutmeg-laced-whip, (non-fat, that is!) is now moved on to some other-worldly concoction!

Cinnamon Roll Biscuits
Yes, biscuits! If you’re looking for a good, flakey, layered with butter, cinnamon and raisins biscuit lightly kissed with creamy, silk-like glaze – look no further! Crazy menopausal cravings are worse than the pregnancy ones for me- sweet one minute salty, the next… moist (sorry Tyler) one bite, then crunchy the next… wonderful woes of…
