I usually like to balance things out on this blog. Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter right after Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars with plans for cookies in the near future is not balance. When I post something sweet and unhealthy, I try to put up a post or two with something somewhat healthy. And let me tell…

Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars
These Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars were inspired by a late night treat making episode with my sister. She was staying with me for a few days and we were doing what we do best: binge watching Gilmore Girls and putting together a puzzle from the thrift store. We always pick out an ugly thrift store puzzle…
Chocolate Pumpkin Dump Cake
This Chocolate Pumpkin Dump Cake was inspired by a recipe I posted a few years back for my original Pumpkin Dump Cake and it is still my most viewed and loved recipe on my blog. It’s a recipe my mother passed down and one of my very favorites from my childhood. Its one of the easiest…
Pumpkin Bread French Toast
The other day, my husband and I were looking for a place to go out to eat. We are really indecisive about restaurants. I think we had already spent 30 minutes looking through online menus. I don’t remember where we went or what we got (must not have been that great), but I remember seeing…
Savory Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Mushrooms
Did you all see my Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe a few posts ago? Do you remember how I talked about always having a random squash or gourd of some sort sitting on my counter in the fall and never getting around to baking it? Well, folks, the problem has escalated! I thought I was…
Pumpkin Muffins with Toasted Pecan Streusel
I am totally obsessed with the new show called Master Chef Junior. I just can’t get enough of it. I love cooking competition shows, but I usually can’t handle Gordon Ramsey because he is so loud and mean. However, he turns into a marshmallow when hosting a show where the stars are ages 8-13….
A Month of Pie: Pumpkin Pie using Homemade Pumpkin Puree
Lets talk for a minute about whether or not its worth making your own pumpkin puree, rather than just popping open a can of Libby’s. I wondered this myself. Was my pie going to taste bad? Was it going to be too labor intensive to be worth it? Am I crazy for actually wanting…
Jack-o-Lantern Stuffed Bell Peppers
I thought I would post a Halloween recipe that isn’t going to give you a sugar high. So many Halloween and autumn recipes are sweet and sugary, which is in the spirit of the holiday, but you still need to eat dinner, right? This recipe was delicious! I usually don’t really like bell peppers, but…
Pumpkin Dump Cake
Pumpkin Dump Cake. The best dessert ever. To me, pumpkin dump cake IS autumn. To me, its tradition and comfort and family. This is a recipe that my mom has been making since I was young. She got it from a neighbor long ago and then made her own tweaks to make it even better….
Pumpkin Doodles (Pumpkin Snicker-doodles)
There are certain perks that come with having a job. For starters, an income. Not to mention health insurance, paid vacation, employee discounts, etc. Now if only I could find a way to get all of that, without actually having to do the working part. And as I have discovered time and time again, one…
