Happy Monday!! Why am I so excited about a Monday you may ask? Well, that’s because today is one of the best days of the year! It’s the Virtual Pumpkin Party! An annual event where almost 100 bloggers post everything PUMPKIN all day long. Even if you’re tired of your PSL (because at this point they’ve been out for like 6 weeks already…) I can guarantee you will find some pumpkin inspiration amidst all these goodies. Sara puts together the event and then links to ALL of the recipes, which is … [Read more…]
Harry Potter and pumpkins…could there be any two things I love more?! Well besides dogs. And Christmas. And the ocean. And wine. Ok so maybe I love a lot of things. But I really love Harry Potter (as evidenced by my bachelorette party). I also really love pumpkins, which is why I signed up to be a part of the third annual Virtual Pumpkin Party! I never knew how many ways you can use pumpkin until I started reading through these Pumpkin Party recipes. Our previous creations were Layered … [Read more…]
It’s once again time for the #VirtualPumpkinParty put on by Sara at Cake Over Steak and Aimee from Twigg Studio. If you remember from last year, a huge group of bloggers all posted pumpkin recipes on the same day and we had so much fun, we’re doing it again! Our previous creations were Pumpkin Pancakes and Pumpkin Pie Ice Cream, but today I bring you Layered Pumpkin Cheesecake. Now I love cheesecake just as much as the next person, but for some reason I often forget it exists. Is that weird? … [Read more…]
Pumpkin Pie is my favorite. It’s a classic! It is a staple in most homes on Thanksgiving and also on Christmas. Why do we only get to eat this pie once or twice a year?! It really is a shame. Since I wouldn’t be with my family on Thanksgiving, we decided to do a “fake Thanksgiving” on my birthday instead (just a few days prior). Mom asked if I wanted a birthday cake or pumpkin pie. Is that even a question?? Pumpkin Pie always wins. Did you know the Pumpkin Pie recipe on the back of … [Read more…]
I hope you’re ready for pumpkin overload, because today is the Virtual Pumpkin Party! Us and a bunch of other bloggers are all posting pumpkin recipes today, just in time for your Halloween and fall festivities. A new Dairy Queen just opened near us, which is perfect timing for me to get the seasonal pumpkin pie blizzard. Then Kelly sent me a recipe for an easy no-churn pumpkin pie ice cream and as usual, I figured I should probably just make it myself instead of going out and buying … [Read more…]
It’s finally Fall. That means it’s time for college football, peppermint mochas, Halloween candy (I would emphasize candy corn but I can’t stand it!), pretty colored leaves, apple cinnamon candles, apple cinnamon desserts, the World Series (sadly our man Buster Posey won’t be there…), Thanksgiving prep, hearty soups/stews, gourds (which sometimes gross me out but they are a very festive decoration), costumes, Hocus Pocus, haunted houses, and so much more. The list could really go … [Read more…]
How is October halfway over?! I know technically pumpkin is still in season until the holidays are over, but to me…October is the month of pumpkin. Not only am I obsessed with pumpkin flavored everything, each year I have to go to a pumpkin patch and get pumpkins. It’s non negotiable. I don’t care if I’m the only one over the age of 7. I need my pumpkins! Those who have been following me on instagram for a while know my love/hate relationship with squirrels. The squirrels looovee my … [Read more…]
It’s funny, but I don’t remember my grandma baking cookies. Like…ever. I remember her making homemade tortillas without a recipe. I remember her teaching me to add sugar to my “healthy” cereals to make them taste better. I remember her house always had nuts and we would have so much fun using the nutcracker to open them. But I do not remember cookies. When I was visiting my family last week my mom asked if I was going to make Grandma’s pumpkin cookies this fall. I looked at her and said … [Read more…]
I know what you’re thinking, “Didn’t Kelly just make oatmeal cookies?” You’re right, I did, (check it out here) but as I was making these cookies last night, which were originally going to be pumpkin snickerdoodles, I had the sudden urge to add oatmeal. I have no idea why, I just felt compelled to add oatmeal. And in complete honesty, I’m still undecided if that was a smart move. You see, I have this thing where I’m never quite sure if I like what I make. Unless it has Nutella. Or peanut … [Read more…]
I love breakfast. It just might be my favorite meal of the day! With dessert a close second. Very rarely though do I actually make breakfast though. It’s usually always something quick that I’m shoving in my mouth in the car rushing to get to work on time. Super classy and grown up, I know. Now that I work a normal Monday-Friday shift (yay!!) the idea of making a real weekend breakfast has been sounding better and better. When I saw the Boise State football game wasn’t until 8:30pm last … [Read more…]
