Pumpkin Twists

Hi Friends! Today, I am sharing a recipe that I published 6 years ago on the blog. I recently made these for friends and decided to update the recipe this year. I hope you are enjoying the fall season.

I went for a walk after work yesterday and for the first time, the weather felt cool and crisp, like actual fall! I was so excited that the season finally is catching up to us. 

To celebrate, I made these really easy treats.

Hi, I'm Raquel! I am a self-proclaimed foodie and have enjoyed cooking and baking since I was little. I loved baking cookies with my mother and grandma as a child, and later making dinners for my parents to foster my passion while in high school. I also had a passion for organizing and keeping things tidy.
