Roasted Pumpkin Seeds:: 5 Ways!

Roasted Pumpkin Seeds:: 5 Ways! Cooking with children, while great in theory and provides meaningful life skills, is not for the faint of heart. Moreover, this felt more crafty less cook-ey to me.

15 Minute Butternut Squash Ramen Bowl

This is a quick meal that does not disappoint! It’s easy to prepare, full of flavor, nutrient dense, and looks fancy. I’m going to go out on a limb and say you could even entertain with this bad boy over the holidays.

Cast-Iron Apple Cinnamon Crumble

My mom ALWAYS cooked with a cast-iron skillet, and I even inherited one of her skillets, so today I went to the store and created this heavenly dish myself! 

Autumn Salad That Looks Fancy!

Fall for these Apple Spice Caramel Cupcakes

Pump Up Your Pumpkin

Do you love pumpkin, but are sick of bringing the same old pumpkin pie to your Thanksgiving celebration? Well, I have just recipe for you. It’s full of fall flavor, can be made ahead and still gives you all of that pumpkiny comfort that a traditional pumpkin pie would. 

Kristi’s Pumpkin Roll

I make this every year, the night before Thanksgiving, and chill it overnight for our Thanksgiving morning brunch. It’s always a hit!

Homemade Pumpkin Puree

If there’s one thing that says fall… it’s pumpkins! Pumpkin lattes, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake. Of course Publix has rows of perfectly aligned pumpkin purée striping it’s aisles, but I want the real deal: home roasted, homemade, perfectly natural pumpkin purée.

Salted Caramel Apples Bites

Today I decided to make caramel sauce from scratch and whip up some salted caramel apple bites. I couldn’t believe how quick and easy it was!

More Fall Recipes

Here in Florida we never know if Fall weather will stay, or if we will return to the dreadful heat and humidity. If we Floridians waited until there was a real crisp in the air to indulge in all things pumpkin, squash, or fall-themed, well, we could be waiting until January! In honor of the season, we’ve rounded up a few tasty fall recipes: Cranberry Apple Crisp, Roasted Sweet Potatoes with Agave Nectar, Pumpkin Carrot Muffins, Pumpkin White Wine Risotto.
