This is packed with delight! Can’t wait to try some of these tips. I only recently started heating my baking pans 🙈

Thanks so much for sharing my donut newsletter! I'm glad that the recipe worked out for you. They look very tempting on your pretty tea cart. I had never even thought of pre-heating cookie sheets!

Amie,

You bring so much JOY! Thank you for these great tips, treats, AND I can't wait to make that pumpkin smoothie this week. :)

I love the pretzel snaps idea for halloween I have one for Christmas very similar...I use the rolo then add a red or green m&m when they come out...super easy. :)

So many fall treats to try from this newsletter, Amie. I know Jeff will forget about all his diet resolutions if I make that ingenious Rolo-pretzel concoction. And Vicki’s cider donuts are calling my name. Never heard about heating a cookie sheet, muffin tin, etc. Now I’m wondering why. Maybe added crispness? Might have to investigate with more baking! Happy Halloween!🎃

They seemed to cook more evenly, and a touch faster. Keep an eye on the clock.

So nice to find you here! I'm in Downeast Maine (my family moved here about 7 yrs ago), in a little cabin in Columbia. I look forward to reading more about island life! I hope you'll also visit me at my Moments Substack, where I share photos & stories about moments of connection in nature and everyday life :)
