by Emily {Jelly Toast} and filed in Desserts, Special Occasion

A classic layered Jello dish gets an update in these peppermint parfaits. You can make these cute little desserts one of two ways: for kids or for grown-ups.

Old-Fashioned Buttermilk Doughnuts

by Deanna Morauski (The Old Hen) and filed in Desserts, Special Occasion

The beauty of an old-fashioned doughnut might seem too fancy to accomplish at home but it’s not as hard as it seems. With the right recipe and steps (for example, never underestimate the importance of a preheated deep fryer), you can make these gorgeous flared masterpieces at home. The biggest secret is allowing the doughnuts to fry long enough on side one that they flare.

Pumpkin Tiramisu

by Christina Main (Sweet Lavender Bake Shoppe) and filed in Desserts, Special Occasion

This has everything! It’s got pumpkin (duh) and mascarpone (win!) and fresh whipped cream (score!) and maple (yum) and ladyfingers (we all love those) and it’s relatively easy to make! It even … wait for it. Wait … is a no-bake dessert!

Meet Nancy

Nancy is the Coupon Clipping Cook, which means she not only has an astounding number of recipes to share with us (her TK recipe box is busting at the seams!) but she's also got loads of money-saving tips in her blog (she worked at a grocery store for a number of years, so she knows her stuff). She has some pretty amazing creations, like Roasted Garlic Potato Soup and Nutty Coconut Chicken. Go check them out!

Meet Heather

Heather is a Texas native and the blogger behind Heather's Dish. She's mom to Weston, wife to Nate, and they live in Little Rock, Arkansas with their two "stubborn and saucy" dogs Bunker and Keira. In her blog, she shares her photographs, random musings (serious and silly alike), and all kinds of scrumptious recipes---and not just evil variations of her favorite mac and cheese. Her enviable TK recipe box is a testament to that. Go see for yourself!
