Dreams

Dreams
I don't have dreams very often (that I remember) but when I do they are eye openers.
Last year the week before my wedding I had a dream that my teeth fell out. I looked it up in a dream book the meaning of teeth falling out is LIFE EVENT (no thoughts about I was having a life event).
Last night I dreamt the same thing. I was at my parents home that I grew up in. I had just gotten of the school bus went in to my house and used the front door (we never used the front door) started talking to my mom and my teeth started falling out not all of them but the became loose and then one at a time the fell into my hand. I didn't freak out I just thought man why is this happening.
I looked it up online this morning and it again told me a life event or death of a family member. As I look back a year ago my grandfather passed away in November. I believe I had this dream because it is almost the 1st year anniversary of his death. How crazy is that I have the same type of dream around the same time.
I don't know what I believe as far as dream but what a weird occurrence

Top 2 Tuesday- favorite things about FALL


1. PUMPKIN!!!

I love pumpkin!!

I like pie, cookies, ice cream, fudge anything pumpkin!!!

Here is a great recipe for pumpkin whoppie pies from Rachel Ray

Ingredients:
1 1/2 sticks (6 ounces) unsalted butter, 1 stick melted, 1/2 stick softened
1 cup packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs, at room temperature, lightly beaten
1 cup canned pure pumpkin puree
1 tablespoon pumpkin pie spice
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon plus 2 pinches salt
1-2/3 cups flour
4 ounces cream cheese, chilled
1 cup confectioners' sugar
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350°. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, whisk together the melted butter and brown sugar until smooth. Whisk in the eggs, pumpkin puree, pumpkin pie spice, 1 teaspoon vanilla, the baking powder, the baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Using a rubber spatula, fold in the flour.
Using an ice cream scoop or tablespoon, drop 12 generous mounds of batter, spaced evenly, onto each baking sheet. Bake until springy to the touch, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a rack to cool completely.
Meanwhile, using an electric mixer, cream the softened butter with the cream cheese. Add the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 2 pinches salt and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla; mix on low speed until blended, then beat on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Spread the flat side of 12 cakes with the cream cheese frosting. Top each with another cake.
