Pumpkin Spice Hot Chocolate

When the inevitable pumpkin spice craziness begins to invade our lives, I like to be ready for it. I love me some lattes, but when my kids asked to have one too, I hesitated. We generally don’t give them coffee, seeing as how they are wired enough already. Personally, I don’t think…

Cranberry-Orange Pumpkin Spice Muffins

I should warn you.  I will never have enough pumpkin recipes.  Muffins, quick breads, dip, pie, shakes-everything.  I.  Love.  Pumpkin. You will probably never find me with a pumpkin spiced latte as the sweetness level is a bit much for me, but other than that, I happily submit to all the pumpkin…

Pumpkin Coffee Cake W/Brown Sugar Streusel

I wish… Oh! How I wish… …that I had found this recipe years ago! Like so many of you, I love the pumpkin season.  Homemade pumpkin puree gets stirred into muffins and pies and even dip!  I don’t jump on the pumpkin spice latte bandwagon, but most everything else I am game for!!…

Rum Pumpkin Pie

In continuation of our pumpkin theme, I wanted to share with you my third favorite pumpkin pie recipe.  Now in case you think that a third place pie is kind of anti-climatic, let me explain.  My current favorite pumpkin pie recipe will be making an appearance on the actual turkey day-too late for…

Pumpkin Dinner Rolls

So here is the first pumpkin recipe I am going to share with you that uses up some of that baked, mashed pumpkin we made earlier!  Between pumpkin dishes and the killer sweet potato casserole recipe I have for you, the next few posts are going to be…well…orange themed.  This is not intentional, but…

How To: Homemade Pumpkin Puree

I know pumpkin has been on the radar for a month or so, but with Thanksgiving right around the corner, it seems that now, more than ever, it has the potential to be a star at your table.  Yes, I am talking about pumpkin pie and soon I will share with you my…

Spice Muffins W/Pumpkin, Chocolate, & Streusal

I had every intention of posting this yesterday.  Or even the day before that.  I don’t like it when this much time passes between posts. But my Internet was down.  For yesterday and most of today actually.  And I was pretty sick yesterday.  And tired.  And kinda cold.  So I wasn’t that…

Marshmallow Pumpkin Dip

Thanksgiving is hands down my favorite holiday, mainly, I suppose, because it is centered around eating.  Roast turkey and mashed potatoes are at the top of my very long list of favorite foods and when you add in the fact that you are with family and friends without the stress of gift giving, everyone…

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds

They taste just as good as I remember them.  I haven’t had pumpkins seeds since I was a kid!  My Mom always kept them when we would carve pumpkins and from what I remember, they never lasted very long.  As in, we ate them all so quickly.  Granted, I have five siblings and food…
