Pumpkin Scones with Autumn Spiced Glaze

I got this recipe from one of my favorite cooking blogs, Baking and Books. The girl who runs the site is interested in much of what I am interested in, and she always writes about interesting food facts. Although she is a vegetarian Jew who keeps kosher, and I am not she gives some awesome recipes. Including these pumpkin scones!

They turned out beautifully and the glaze is just delicious. The recipe makes 6 scones, so it is perfect if you are cooking for two or if you are having a small get together. I ate them for breakfast, but they would be great for a girly breakfast or tea party. For the recipe on Baking and Books, click here. Enjoy! I will be making two recipes today that I will post in the next few days, and one of them is actually a savory recipe!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Cookies

Fall is in the air.  At least for today, because according to weather.com it will be hot again tomorrow.  But I couldn't help breaking out the fall recipes.  I am so ready to bundle up, drink hot chocolate, and get in the holiday spirit.  These pumpkin cookies are the best that I have ever had.  They are full of spice, chocolate, and that fall pumpkin goodness.  They are also ridiculously soft and huge, so kids will love them.  And so will you.
