What is the holidays without pumpkin pie? At my house no ordinary pumpkin pie will do , it has the be Pumpkin Pie Supreme. One bite of this pie and you will never look at a plain sad pumpkin pie again without thinking of this lovely pie. You will be ruined and only want this as your holiday pie. This pie has so many layers of yumminess! Next the flakey crust there is a gingersnap and pecan layer , the perfect base for the pie. Then is your typical creamy pumpkin filling topped with a yummy pecan streusel. The perfect Pumpkin Pie supreme!! If you love pumpkin but don’t want a pie give a few of my pumpkin cookies a try. They Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies and Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookies .

Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies

October 28, 2019 by Debbie 2 Comments

Apparently eggnog is one of those things that people Hate or Love . How ?? I am in that LOVE category! Once I see the rich creamy eggnog hit the shelves I know the holiday season is right around the corner. These Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies are made from….Pumpkin Eggnog.. if you have never tried it you need to. Although I love it ,I have had many baking failures with it. This is year three I have tried to make something with it and finally got a great result. My theory is the high sugar content has given me bad results, that’s my story and I am sticking to it LOL . If you love pumpkin but not eggnog check out my Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookies, another great fall goodies.

Caramel Apple Cake

Nothing screams fall more than caramel apples right?? This Caramel Apple Cake is basically a caramel apple in cake form and it is AMAZING!! Best of both worlds! I recently made some Caramel Ganache with Chocoley Gourmet Caramel from Chocoley and I had to make something special for it. I have a love for just about anything with apples and especially bundt cakes. Just check out my Granny Smith Apple Bundt Cake.

Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookies

October 13, 2019 by Debbie 3 Comments

I have combined two of my loves in this Chocolate Dipped Pumpkin Cookie, pumpkin and dark chocolate. A soft cake like pumpkin spiced cookie mixed with rich dark chocolate is just pure autumn Heaven. If you have read any of my previous post I am a bit of a chocolate snob and I tend to like higher quality chocolate . I usually like to use Ghiradelli Dark chocolate melting wafers . I rarely melt chocolate in the microwave for many reasons, mainly it ends in disaster for me. This dipping chocolate melts beautifully in the microwave. If you love fall cookies you have to try my Pumpkin Eggnog Cookies a try.

Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Bread

October 7, 2019 by Debbie 14 Comments

It is officially pumpkin everything season!! I went shopping with my cousin this past weekend and every shop we went into smelled of fall, it was so intoxicating. We went into a well known high end retail store and they had samples of several of their fall goodies out. One of their mixes was a pumpkin bread mix , that was at best average. Seriously, homemade pumpkin breads are so easy and so much better than a mix. This Chocolate Chunk Pumpkin Bread is so easy and delicious , and is perfect with a hot cup of tea. In the fall I love making breads like this check out my Apple Butter Banana Bread and my Apple Bread with Cream Cheese Filling.

Pumpkin Cinnamon Streusel Muffins

November 6, 2018 by Debbie 19 Comments

Fall is in full swing and so is my love of pumpkin!! I feel like there is an over saturation of pumpkin everything in the supermarkets, somethings are just not meant to be pumpkin flavored..like TWINKIES. Let’s face it Twinkies are best in their pure form, we all remember when they disappeared off the shelves in 2013 and we never want that to happen again. Pumpkin Muffins are still my all time favorite baked goods, even over pie. Muffins are the most near and dear to me because they are sweet but not overly sweet and perfect for breakfast, snacks, or even deserts. There is nothing like lounging on the sofa all bundled up with a hot cup of coffee and a warm muffin. If you are a pumpkin lover like me you will adore this Pumpkin Spiced Cinnamon Roll Cake.

When the the weather starts getting cool and leaves begin to change it’s time for all the yummy baked goods full of the fall spices. These autumn oatmeal cookies ooze everything about this time of year . They are buttery , chewy and full cinnamon, pecans and dried cranberries and are seriously so good. I added a little apple butter and this gave this cookie ever more of a fall feel. Give me a big cup of warm tea and one these cookies and I am in pure heaven. Another one of my fall favorites is Apple Bread with Cream cheese filling.

Apple Butter Banana Bread

August 15, 2018 by Debbie 5 Comments

This past weekend my husband and I had an adult get away to the hill country to San Antonio and the Hill Country of Texas. The hill country we need another few days there in the future just to hit all the wineries in Fredericksburg. It was just a neat little community that I will return to soon. We were wanting a weekend of more than just shopping and wine tasting so the majority of our time was spent in San Antonio. While in San Antonio we stayed at The Menger Hotel which is like staying in a museum. This hotel is grand and rich in history, and it has a pretty cool bar,lol. The bar is where Teddy Roosevelt was said to have summoned and recruited The Rough Riders. They are very proud of their history and show it off in displays that I just find fascinating.

Apple Bread with Cream Cheese Filling

September 24, 2017 by Debbie 22 Comments

This apple bread with cream cheese filling is simply amazing and just oozes everything about the fall season. Growing up I didn’t eat apples in anything but a good old fashioned apple pie. I just don’t understand why my mom didn’t make more apple dishes when I was young. It is one of those things I need to talk to a therapist about now, LOL!! It wasn’t until I was an adult that I was introduced to how versatile apples can be . Now I am always experimenting with new ways to incorporate them into not only sweet but savory recipes but being from Louisiana this has been a fight in my house. My guys are pretty much meat , rice and gravy kind of guys but I am slowly converting them to having an expanded appreciation of food so won’t need therapy also, lol.
