Fall Desserts

Yankee Cranberry Upside-Down Cake

Topped with tangy cranberries in lieu of sweet pineapple, this recipe lends a distinctive New England flavor to old-fashioned upside-down cake.
To be sure you're using the freshest berries, you'll want to choose fruit that has bounce in it. Or you can put it to the water test. Small pockets of air trapped in fresh cranberries make them bounce -- and float in water.

Ingredients: 6 tablespoons butter, softened

2 cups fresh or frozen cranberries

1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/3 cup chopped pecans, toasted

1 cup sugar

2 eggs, at room temperature

1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

1 1/4 cups flour

1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder

1 teaspoon cinnamon

3/4 cup buttermilk

Instructions: Heat the oven to 350°. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter and pour it into a 9-inch springform pan.

In a mixing bowl, combine the cranberries and the brown sugar, then scatter the mixture atop the butter. Sprinkle on the pecans.

Beat the remaining 4 tablespoons of butter and the sugar at medium speed in a medium mixing bowl until well blended. Beat in the eggs one at time, then beat in the vanilla extract.

Combine the flour, baking powder, and cinnamon in a small bowl and stir well. Beat a third of the dry ingredients into the creamed mixture, followed by half of the buttermilk. Continue alternating in this way until you've beaten in the last of the dry ingredients. Spoon the batter evenly over the cranberries.

Bake the cake until a wooden toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, about 50 minutes. Let it cool in the pan for about 5 minutes, then invert the cake onto a serving platter and remove the pan. Serves 10.

Thinking Fall Shoes????

Here are some for you to have fun with!!!

The newest trend in shoes for this fall Chanel, Prada, Manolo Blanik, Betsy Johnson, Adrienne Vitadine, amongst others brought the almost every type of shoe imaginable for the fall season, but a pair with thick, stacked heels immediately puts you on higher ground.

You can't go wrong with rich suede footwear this fall. Reptile and animal print shoes and especially snake and leopard prints are at the forefront, in styles from ballerina flats to wedge heeled pumps. Short lace up suede and flannel desert boots and aviator style combat boots are among the other fashion forces to be reckoned with.

Texture is another key element in fashionable fall footwear, with calf hair and snakeskin flashing plenty of skin.

COLOR ME CAMEL???‬‪

If there was any doubt that camel is the color of the fall season, every other shade of beige, from caramel to bark to bisque came here to stay.

Camel is a fresh alternative to black, reflecting fashion's renewed interest in classic American-style sportswear, a trend that we saw on the runways in New York and in Milan .

In Paris, nearly every designer had a camel coat on the runway. Camel's hair coats alongside sleek high-waist trousers, dotted bow-front blouses or chambray shirts, and cowboy boots, Ponchos, Stilettos, skinny pants, and lots of oversized jewelry

Camel color paired with a crimson red coat — a color combination that's definitely worth trying on at home. Moss colors, from the lightest to the deepest green; oranges, yellows, etc.
This year the spring and summer colors have bled into the fall that means you can use your pinks, crimsons, and blues too.

FUR FLYING

These furs are not the jewel-encrusted astrakhans and broadtails that we have seen in seasons past. They are furs with a sportier edge, and some of them aren't even real.‬‪ ‬‪
