Pumpkin Cranberry Pistachios Bread
I am a BIG fan of pumpkin (as I am sure you know), pistachios and cranberries… but I am an even bigger fan of pumpkin bread and this pumpkin bread is AMAZING!! It is loaded with tons of yum and each bite is like a party in your mouth. PISTACHIOS & CRANBERRIES GALORE! I am all about a traditional pumpkin bread but this loaded pumpkin bread is just so, so good. I have always loved cranberries with pumpkin but for some extra fun I wanted to add in some pistachios. Pistachios are a favorite for me with cranberries, as in these cookies. The cookies are SO GOOD I knew…

Pumpkin Butter
OK… I have a sad story about pumpkin butter. As I am sure you know by now I am a BIG, BIG pumpkin fan. One of my most favorite pumpkin treats is pumpkin butter, but when I went to buy some the other day at Trader Joes they were out! There was none to be found… NONE!! MY Pumpkin Butter Obsession So it all started back 10+ years a go when I was aimlessly wondering through Williams Sonoma one October day. This very sweet lady came up to me and asked if I would like to try some pumpkin butter. I mean she had me at the word pumpkin but…

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…

a dressing like no other
Are you a stuffing or dressing person? Are you a cornbread or bread dressing person? We are cornbread people here. Well I am here to tell you I have another option for all my die hard cornbread dressing friends. Trust me it is AMAZING! An apple a day… The old saying goes “an apple a day will keep the Dr away”. This delicious side may not keep the Dr away but it will make you feel VERY good. If you would have asked me a month ago if I would put apple in my dressing I would have said NO WAY, but it has changed. Our sweet friend Andrea said she wanted…

The Star of the Table
let’s talk TURKEY When we first started talking about this Early Thanksgiving Dinner my brother said he wanted to smoke the turkey. I was thrilled…I couldn’t wait. He had smoked one last year for our family Thanksgiving and it was good, but he said he wanted to make it even better, and that he did. When all the RSVP’s came back we had 15 people coming, so to ensure we had enough turkey (I love the leftover turkey) I got a big ole’ turkey. It was right around a 20 pound bird. And let me tell you the turkey was so, so good there was not too much left over. To…

Brown Sugar + Buttermilk = YUMMY Pie
Thanksgiving is in 4 days. YES, only 4 more days until it is TURKEY time. Now I know you probably already have your menu set, but you might want to rethink the dessert table for this super simple, but AMAZING Brown Sugar Buttermilk Chess Pie. Pie like no other Do you have a favorite pie from childhood? You know that one pie that someone special made, or one that you always got a particular restaurant if you were “good”. For my mom that pie is Buttermilk Chess Pie from Furr’s Cafeteria. My mom grew up in Brownfield, Texas. It is a small town in West Texas not too far from…

Like no Brownie (Pie) I have ever had
Brownies are a favorite in our house. I have made almost every brownie version imaginable. One of our favorites are these Oreo Caramel Brownies and these Pumpkin Caramel Brownies are a perfect option for this Thanksgiving. Oh but wait there is so much more to brownies now. It is Pie time… Pie is a must have at our Thanksgiving celebrations. Do you have pie for Thanksgiving? What kind are a must? Pumpkin, sweet potato, apple? In our family there is always a fruit pie of some sort, a pumpkin pie, and normally a pecan pie (I never said we were very exciting). This year though I wanted to shake things up a…

a twist on a sugar cookie
I love cookies. Chocolate chip cookies, shortbread cookies, brownie cookies, sugar cookies, peanut butter cookies…really ANY cookie. A few weeks ago I decided to bring 2 of my favorites together into one delicious cookie and make a Peanut Butter Sugar Cookie. A little something for everyone Each fall The Hubby takes some of his customers little yummies with calendars from his company. This year he wanted cookies to give out. He asked for his favorite chocolate chip cookies (recipe will be posted soon) and also for a peanut butter cookie. Well I couldn’t give him 2 traditional cookies, so I decided to change up the peanut butter cookie a little, don’t…
