It’s that time of year when I start breaking out my cans of pumpkin and making all of the pumpkin flavored things. These salted brown butter pumpkin rice krispie treats are one of my new favorite pumpkin recipes that are perfect for fall. They are the perfect sweet treat for the season and are super simple to make as well. They are perfectly chewy, with a hint of pumpkin and spice in the background made extra tasty with brown butter which really takes these rice krispie treats to the next level.
It’s officially October, which means it’s time to make ALL the pumpkin things! I love this time of year so much, and while I’m over here waiting on our first cool front to swing through, I’m pretending it feels like fall with all the cozy recipes. This week we celebrated P’s 4th birthday, decorated the porch with pumpkins and mums, and now I’m officially ready to get cooking in the kitchen with all of my favorite fall recipes. I rounded up a few of my favorite pumpkin recipes and included both savory and sweet options that you are going to love! My top ten pumpkin recipes are definitely going to want to be happening in your kitchen this season.
The official first day of fall is almost here and I am ready for all the fall recipes to go down in my kitchen. Pumpkin bread always seems like a good place to start when it comes to fall baking and I realized that I had never shared my go-to recipe that is healthy and delicious. (That obviously has to change right?) Pumpkin bread is one of those things that I look forward to every year and there is nothing better than the smell of warm spices baking in your oven! Aside from the perks of having your house smell like your favorite fall candle, but way better, I also like making my own pumpkin bread at home because I get to make a healthier version of my favorite fall bread. My healthy spiced pumpkin bread is a must make this season and you will love how simple the recipe is too!
Can someone please tell me where September went? Honestly I can’t believe that October is next week and my baby boy turns 3 on Monday! This year is going by at a scarily fast pace, don’t you think? I love this season of cozy foods and all that comes with it and want to savor it while its around! (Time slow down please.) While I may not be getting to wear my fall favorites, because Texas fall doesn’t like to allow for flannels and sweaters, I am embracing fall flavors in the kitchen! This fall chicken salad with pepita granola and a pumpkin vinaigrette is going to knock your socks off in the flavor department and is the perfect fall salad to make all season long!
Happy Monday guys! I seriously cannot believe that tomorrow is Halloween! This weekend we enjoyed some gorgeous fall weather, I made a big pot of gumbo, and we spent lots of time outside! We haven't done much of anything for Halloween yet, but are headed over to trick or treat with some friends tomorrow night! I feel like Parks is still a little young to really understand it all, but I am sure next year will be a whole other story! And because pumpkin season is in full swing and I want to know, are you still on board with pumpkin spice everything or are you like please no more pumpkin? I am really hoping it's the first option, because I have turned my favorite waffle recipe from my cookbook, First Bites, into the most delicious whole wheat pumpkin waffles that you are going to want to make from now until Christmas!
Life has been busy lately, kind of crazy if I am being honest. But then again that's mom life right? That means the days where I can prep dinner in advance (aka naptime) and know that I have a nutritious and filling dinner ready to go for my family are the best days! I am a big fan of recipes that are comforting, filling, and delicious all the while staying on the nutritious side! My easy pumpkin and sausage baked ziti made using Barilla ProteinPLUS pasta is the perfect dish to make any night of the week!
