Appropriate dress makes a world of difference. I always like to have the family dress in quick dry clothing whenever we visit Dollywood. You know the stuff, usually workout or hiking shirts and pants and sturdy, strap on sandals. This clothing dries quickly and makes water rides and rain more enjoyable while at Dollywood. No longer will you be soaked all day when you get wet.

Most of Dollywood’s rides run in the rain unless there is lightening nearby. That means, if you can stand to get wet, you will most likely have shorter wait times during the rain. My teens love a good drizzle at Dollywood because it means they can ride their favorite coasters over and over. plus it always makes for good laughs and memories to see how wet everyone gets.

Rainy times are the perfect time to check out some of the indoor attractions you may have passed up on the way to the rides. Chasing Rainbows is an interactive museum with Dolly memorabilia, stories and a behind the scenes look into her career. It is also a great way to spend a rainy day at Dollywood. You can even explore Dolly’s Home on Wheels which is parked right outside.

Craftsman’s valley is another wonderful place to explore during a rain shower. There are all sorts of shops to peruse through finding hand crafted treasures. The kids will have fun looking for a hidden mouse in a mouse hole too. (I’ll give you a hint: it is somewhere in the woodcarver’s shop). If you want a good sit down place in the rain the Robert F. Thomas chapel is a quiet place to sit and enjoy some quiet.

Shows and restaurants are always a good place to retreat to in the rain. But you may have to get to a show early to make sure you get a seat. Remember to download and check out the Dollywood app for show times. This is our favorite Dollywood tool to use rain or shine. You can find the show schedule, park map, restaurant descriptions and locations, and my family’s favorite, the wait time’s for rides.

No matter what the weather, there is always something you and your family can find to enjoy at Dollywood.

Fruit Cake Biscotti is sponsored in conjunction with #christmascookies week. All opinions are my own.

Ah, fruit cake. That holiday day tradition that is beloved or hated. I don’t like store bought fruit cake, but homemade is a different store.

My aunt made some fruit cake cookies on year and I loved them, so I decided to try my hand at some fruit cake biscotti.

It is so colorful and flavorful and unique. You will need this recipe on your list to make this year.

Orange Slice Coconut cookies are sponsored in conjunction with #christmascookies week. All opinions are my own

Years ago when I took Home Ec we had the opportunity to pick out a cookie recipe to make in class. The assignment was to cut the recipe in half so we would know how to do that.

I chose a recipe for a cookie with coconut and candy orange slices in it. It sounded wonderful. The only thing was it had 3 eggs. I asked my teacher how to do that and she didn’t know! She simply told me to make the whole recipe!

How to divide an egg in a recipe

So I am going to tell you how to cut an egg in half for a recipe. Crack the egg into a cup. Whisk it well and then measure out half of that mixture. Easy peasy and something a Home Ec teacher should have known

I had lots of that cookie dough and I loved it. I created this recipe as something similar and it is delightful.

It makes about 5 dozen cookies so it is great to give as gifts. I like to make a batch and keep them in the freezer to have on hand.

This Oatmeal Pecan Cookie recipe is sponsored by Millican Pecans, all opinions are my own.

Cookies are my favorite dessert to eat and to give. At Christmas time you can find me in the kitchen creating dozens of delicious delights to gift to family and friends.

I also like to think ahead and put some cookies in the freezer to have on hand for guests or for delicious Christmas cookie trays.

These oatmeal pecan cookies are derived from an old time recipe and are simply delicious.

They are great to pack in boxes to give or to tie up in a stack with some cute kitchen twine.

I love family traditions. They are something to look forward to and they create great memories to remember and talk about.

A great tradition for us is visiting Oakes Farm and Pumpkin Patch in Corryton, TN every fall.

My kids have grown up doing this every year and look forward to it all they time.

They corn maze is one of our first stops. You can do a lot of walking trying to find the check points and our favorite, figuring out the mystery. So bring some water along.

Each year we challenge each other to see who can solve the mystery first. This year was the monster mystery and none of our first guesses were right as to who did it.

We laugh and have fun exploring the corn maze this way.

Each year we can always find a new activity at Oakes Farm also. This year was carpet ball (in the back ground). It was so easy to play and we had a ton of great competition.

Can I just say the Ball Zone is AWESOME! You can throw baseballs, footballs and basketballs and create some friendly family competition.

I love that there are so many things to keep even my older kids occupied and off their electronics.

The giant pedal cars are always a hit and boy do they work your legs. Every once in a while I can beat these guys, but not this year!

Oh the flower farm they have is divine too! Sunflowers and Zinnia’s in abundance! Great for picture taking and you can take home a bucket of them for a small fee.

It’s so hard to pick a favorite activity, but the bounce pillow is way up there. I feel like I need one in my back yard. So many competitions, laughs and high bouncing.

Oakes Farm is full of so much fun. I recommend it to all my friends every year. So East Tennessee Friends, make a plan to go this year! (Oh, and be sure and treat yourself to an apple cider slush!)

Halloween sweets are so fun to make especially with great flavoring from Adam’s Extract and super fun sprinkles from Sweets & Treats

Frosted Sheet Pan cookies are so quick to make and taste just like a soft sugar cookie slathered in frosting and topped with sprinkles.

The great thing is with recipe you don’t have to cut individual sugar cookies. You simple cook all the dough on a sheet pan, cool, frost, sprinkle and cut into bars.

It makes them perfect to take to halloween parties, potluck’s, trunk or treats, class parties or any event you can think of.

You can even change up the color of the frosting and the theme of the sprinkles for different holidays.

(There is a fabulous giveaway at the end of the post!)

I love creating fun halloween foods and I am thankful that Dixie Crystals and Wilton sent me some supplies to play with.

Mummy crinkle cookies are easy to make and really make a fun statement. I know for me things get busy around Halloween and event though I like to make fun themed food, I like it to be quick and easy.

How to make crinkle cookies

The longest part of this recipe is the need to chill the dough. It makes a sticky dough and to make it easier to roll into balls, chilling is necessary.

Sometimes I cheat a little and put the dough in the freezer for about 15 minutes. I also butter my hands with either butter or cooking spray so the dough doesn’t stick to my hands as easily.

Rolling the dough balls into lots of powdered sugar before baking is a perfect job for the kids to help with.

Making Mummy Cookies

These chocolate crinkle cookies are so easy to turn into mummy cookies. When the cookies come out of the oven carefully place candy eyes on the cookies to resemble mummies.

You can play around and have fun with big eyes, little eyes or even multiple eyes. Any way you do it they are super cute.

How to store

These cookies will stay fresh in an air tight container for up to a week. You can even freeze them so you can make them a head and have them at a moments notice.

I put them in a freezer container and then set them on the counter to thaw for 5-6 hours before serving.

For Pumpkin Pie Pudding I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #PumpkinWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

Pumpkin pie is a favorite in our house in the fall.

In fact one of my favorite memories I have is going up to the elementary school to eat a slice of pumpkin pie with my son at Thanksgiving.

There are times I want to experience that taste of pumpkin pie without the baking and fixing of a pie

So enter Pumpkin Pie pudding. It is made with a box of instant vanilla pudding and just a few other ingredients. It is AMAZING. And a little lighter than a slice of pie.

This Torani Pumpkin Spice syrup takes it over the top also. I drizzled some in the bottom of the dessert cups and then over the top.

This dessert is quick to make and really could be served right after mixing if you are short on time.

For slightly more set pudding refrigerate for at least an hour.

I hope you enjoy this recipe and these other great pumpkin recipes.

For Pumpkin Spice Snickerdoodles I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #PumpkinWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

Pumpkin spice Snickerdoodles: just right for fall. They have just a touch of pumpkin pie spice in both the cookie dough and the sugar coating on the outside.

Snickerdoodles are super easy to make and they also make a big batch to share, enjoy or freeze for later.

This batch I made with Dixie Crystals and Cabot butter and they were delicious.

If you are baking with kids they would love to roll the dough balls in the sugar coating. A perfect job for kids.

I hope you enjoy these other pumpkin week recipes. There are some really good ones.
