Apples and Cranberries Baked in a Pumpkin
I’m in love with this pumpkin recipe. I dream about it. I’ve even eaten it for breakfast. Twice.
It tastes seriously wonderful. Sweet, spiced apples and cranberries add so much flavor to the baked pumpkin. On top of that, it looks impressive. I’m not known for making beautiful food, so this is something to be proud of.
I am known for creating simple recipes and this does fall into that category. It can be ready for the oven in less than 20 minutes and that includes about 13 minutes of trying to cut the top off the pumpkin. [Read more…] about Apples and Cranberries Baked in a Pumpkin
Ingredient Spotlight: Pumpkin
This post is part of a new series where you get to link up your recipes! Each week I’ll focus on a different common pantry ingredient. I’ll link to a few of my recipes that feature the ingredient and then give you a chance to link up to your blog.
We’ve been thinking about Thanksgiving dinner recipes this week, so Ingredient Spotlight on pumpkin is perfectly timed. I have to admit, I have never cooked with fresh pumpkin before. But I bought the two pie pumpkins you see in the photo and I’m planning to make something with them. I haven’t decided what to turn them into, but I know you all will tempt me with your recipes!
Here are a few of my recipes that use pumpkin: [Read more…] about Ingredient Spotlight: Pumpkin
Pumpkin Chip Cookies
Someone on my favorite homeschool message board shared this recipe many, many years ago. Recently, another person posted the recipe again. I’m so glad she did, because I hadn’t made them in a long time. They’re soft and full of flavor, spiced with cinnamon and studded with chocolate chips. [Read more…] about Pumpkin Chip Cookies
Pumpkin Sheet Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
I’ve heard that there’s a canned pumpkin shortage going on. I hope not, because you are going to want to make this cake. It’s perfectly pumpkin-y with a soft, cream cheese frosting that makes you want to lick your lips, your fork, your plate and the pan.
The recipe makes a good-sized sheet cake so you can share it with a bunch of friends, or pop some in the freezer for another time. You’ll still have plenty to eat for yourself. I altered the recipe from the Amish Friends Cookbook. My mother-in-law bought it for me for my birthday. I love Amish cookbooks. They’re 87.3% desserts with a few main dishes thrown in so as not to be too decadent. They also have recipes for odd things like a drink called Hay-Time Switchel and Vinegar Punch.
