Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch House Decorated for Halloween.

I came home and rested after church Sunday because my lower back was flared up from the previous day at the pumpkin patch and walked out to this. 

Creepy spiders and cob webs covering the inside and outside of our house! 

The kids and Colt did such a wonderful job, I feel blessed to have such good help.

I usually do most the decorating but ladder climbing and lifting still isn't happening anytime soon.

Brown butter white chocolate macadamia is toothsome. Thanks for sharing wonderful post

question, if I want to add another ingredient, do I need to increase and/or decrease any of the other ingredients (i.e., more flour, less mac nuts/chocolate chips)?

Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch said...

It depends on what the ingredient is. If it was coconut I would probably substitute part of the nuts for the coconut. Thanks, Serena
