• Pumpkin Crumb Muffin

    It’s Pumpkin Crumb Muffin Time, Y’all!  I know it is still August, but y’all I am all about pumpkin spice everything…and these muffins are the perfect kick-off to my pumpkin obsession! Just enough spice… The thing I love most about pumpkin spice is the combo of the spices.  There is a little cinnamon, some clove, some ginger, not too much of any one spice and not too little…it really is the perfect combo.  Pumpkin spice makes me feel all warm and cozy inside, just soooo happy. These muffins have pumpkin not only int he batter but also in the topping but don’t worry it is not over powering…it is just…

  • KETO Pumpkin Muffins

    Muffins are my weakness…especially pumpkin muffins.  One of my biggest fears when I went on KETO was I would have to give up my muffins, I mean they are normally not low carb.  Thankfully that fear was put to rest with these AMAZING KETO Pumpkin Muffins. The Swirl is EVERYTHING It is no secret that I am all about anything and everything pumpkin spice.  As much as I love a good plain pumpkin muffin to make these a little extra special I added a cream cheese swirl to the top.  Isn’t just about anything better with a little cream cheese swirl? I kept it super simple with just cream cheese,…

  • Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies

    I have a new favorite cookie… Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies!  Trust me… you will LOVE them! The perfect blend The cookie itself is quite sweet, especially with the course sugar, but the pumpkin-butter buttercream is the perfect balance.  It is just a little sweet with a good bit of spice making each bite the perfect balance.   If you are planning on just eating the cookies and not making them into sandwich cookies you could leave off the sugar until right when you bring them out of the oven.  That way the sugar is just on the top and not on all sides. Sugar options When I roll cookies in…

  • Pumpkin-Butter Buttercream

    The Holidays call for 2 things in my book… pumpkin and buttercream. One of my favorite pumpkin treats is Trader Joes Pumpkin Butter.  It is a little sweet with a little spice making it AMAZING!   When you add it to this buttercream recipe it is AMAZING! Not your normal filling I love a good sandwich cookie with a  good filling.   I love the richness and creaminess it brings to anything and everything you add it to.  Most of the time buttercream is used on cakes and cupcakes, but this time I used it as the filling for my new favorite cookie.  Yes cookie my Spiced Molasses Sandwich Cookies. If…

  • Fall Brownie Bites

Store bought and so good Due to my lack of time I went to my local grocery store and picked up everything I needed… yes EVERYTHING, even the brownie bites.  Now if you have time feel free to whip up your favorite brownie recipe…

  • Pumpkin Sugar Cookies

    September is in full swing and that means it is Pumpkin Spice Season…right?  To celebrate everything pumpkin, I had to make these Pumpkin Sugar Cookies.  They are my new favorite sugar cookie!! Not too much Pumpkin Ok I know that sometimes pumpkin spice can over power everything and become too much, but not in these cookies.  There is just enough hint of spice, without being in your face pumpkin pie spice.   If you wanted more spice you could add in an additional 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon to make them more like a pumpkin snickerdoodle. Grab a glass This cookie batter does not spread so it is important to press…

  • Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Bundt

    It is time for Pumpkin and this Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Bundt cake is the perfect pumpkin treat. OK…I know it is ONLY August 20th but I am SO READY for everything Fall.  I am ready for cooler weather, sweaters, booties and Pumpkin Spice anything and everything.   Pumpkin & Chocolate…Together? I’m in love with pumpkin and I L.O.V.E. dark chocolate even more  and I love them together.  I first had this combo last fall in a muffin, and it was so good I decided to run with it in a bundt cake.   I love the spice and the chocolate together.  The bitterness of the dark chocolate really helps to…

  • Pumpkin Pasta is a must for Fall

    SO it is no secret that I love PUMPKIN everything.  Literally I am the one who gets tears in her eyes when PSL makes it debut at starbucks each Fall.  I am also that girl who goes to Trader Joes and buys EVERYTHING pumpkin they have (even the dog treats). My last shopping trip… There was also a pumpkin kringle in there.  I just CANNOT get enough pumpkin!! Really in Pasta? So I am a BIG, BIG pumpkin and pasta fan.  My first experience with it was in a ravioli (similar to the ones I got from Trader Joe’s) and then I had it with butternut squash in a lasagna…

  • Load them up

    Are you a cookie, cake, brownie, cupcake, pie or blondie fan?  What was that…your a fan of all them?  Oh wait, sorry that was me…I LOVE ALL DESSERT!!  Many times I have a very hard time deciding, but last week I was craving some blondies…and I decided to load them up with some Fall flair making them perfect for the season. A favorite of The Hubby’s The Hubby loves cookies and brownies, amazing blondies a favorite by default.  They have the crunch of a great cookie and the center of a perfect brownie…making them pretty perfect according to The Hubby. Last week I was craving blondies but I wanted to make…

  • dreams are made of this new pumpkin love…

    Obviously pumpkin is on everyone’s brain this week…and my brain is defiantly no exception.  Really to be honest pumpkin is all I can think about…I just love pumpkin everything.  Now the traditional pumpkin desserts are perfect for your Thanksgiving table but this year I wanted to change things up a bit and create a lighter dessert but with all the best it had to offer.  The first layer is a delicious graham cracker crust, it is buttery and a little crunchy.  Next there is a cheesecake layer that is light with the added whipped cream but still very rich.  Next comes the pumpkin layer that is a wonderful pudding like layer loaded…
