It’s amazing how many things you can make with it: cakes, bread, cookies, cupcakes, and even donuts!  And when combined with things like cream cheese and chocolate, the possibilities are endless!  Here are 13 Pumpkin recipes that I think you will love!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip

The fall football season goes hand in hand with great appetizers and party foods like chips and dip.  Today I’ve got a fun recipe for Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Dip to satisfy your sweet tooth!  I originally found it over at Chef in Training last year and I finally made it a few weeks ago.  And I recommend it to one and all!

Nut Bread Muffins

Today I’m continuing my theme of breakfast recipes for this month with some homemade muffins that I make.  This is actually a pound cake recipe, but last year I started dividing the recipe up into one bundt cake and a dozen cupcakes/muffins. And as it’s a fairly light cake, it makes for breakfast time treat.  It would go great with coffee or a big glass of milk! Hope you enjoy!

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Bars

Chocolate Peanut Butter Cereal Bars

I love cereal bars!  They’re great for breakfast on the run and perfect for school snacks and lunches.  After looking up and finding a few different cereal bar recipes, I decided to create my own!

These have a perfect mix of chocolate, peanut butter, and honey that everyone should love,  and to make them even better I topped them off with M&M’s! Hope you enjoy! [Read more…]

Caramel Drizzle Freezer Pie

I’m so excited to share this week’s recipe with you!  I saw this Caramel Drizzle Freezer Pie on Pinterest a few weeks ago, and I could hardly wait to make it!  The recipe comes from All Recipes, a great source for any cook or baker, and I just know you’re going to love it!

This is the perfect pie for summer time because it’s very sweet and it’s also served cold.  But I, for one, think it is the perfect pie for any time of year.  I’m actually looking quite forward to making it for the Thanksgiving and Christmas season.  And as if the taste of this pie wasn’t a good enough reason to make it, it’s also super easy to make, and the recipe yields 2 pies, so it’s perfect for parties and pot lucks.

Homemade Shaved Ice & My New NINJA

One of my favorite things about summer is that I get to have shaved ice and snow cones, but sometimes it’s hard to find a place to buy them.  And plus, when you love frozen treats the way I do, I hate that I can only get them in the summer. (Seriously you are reading the blog of someone who’s bought an ICEE when it’s snowing outside! And I confess, I’ve also bought an ICEE and a milkshake at the same time.  Yeah, I’m a little crazy!)

So enter the Ninja Kitchen System 1100, and the problem is solved. You can have a snow cone or shaved ice any day of the week…even when it’s snowing!

I’ve wanted the Ninja ever since I first saw it on tv, and finally I broke down a couple of weeks ago and ordered it off of Amazon. [Read more…]

Orange Dream Shake

Who doesn’t love orange dreamsicles and push-up pops?  I know I love them, especially in the summer time!  A few years ago, I got hooked on Sonic’s Orange Cream Slush.  And since then, I’ve seen orange milkshakes popping up everywhere! But it’s much more affordable and convenient to make them at home, and it’s also super easy with this recipe!

 Oh, and by the way, I also posted a similar recipe last summer. It involves a few more ingredients, but is equally good, and if you love orange, it’s definitely worth a look! Hope you enjoy!

Ultimate Uncooked Southern Banana Pudding

Ultimate Uncooked Southern Banana Pudding

One of my favorite Southern Summer foods is banana pudding!  A while back I found this no bake version over at Secrets of a Southern Kitchen.  I was immediately attracted to this recipe because it includes a lot of my favorite ingredients like cream cheese and sweetened condensed milk! Yum!  She calls it Ultimate Uncooked Southern Banana Pudding, and I completely agree with the name.

And I have to say, it was everything I thought it would be and more! So yummy!  I’ll definitely make it again.  In fact, I’m thinking this will be a new “go-to” recipe for family get togethers and parties! Hope you will try it!
