Pumpkin flan is a dessert even your abuela would approve! Just the right amount of pumpkin and spices with that classic flan flavor. This pumpkin flan is quite possibly the most basic flan recipe to hit the internet this week. And I don’t mean basic in the simple sense (although it’s not complicated), I mean basic basic. Because isn’t that the joke around all pumpkin things? Yet, we still…
Pumpkin lovers rejoice! This amazing pumpkin pound cake recipe is not only easy to make, but moist, flavorful, and topped with a delicious maple glaze. This really is an “amazing” pumpkin pound cake recipe, darlings. I know words like that seem superfluous, especially on food blogs, because it’s our job to talk up our recipes. BUT, I’m a home baker, you’re a home baker, and this recipe is legitimately that…
Pumpkin spice latte macarons are a fun take on a classic fall coffeehouse drink! Love them or hate them, the herald of all things fall is the arrival of the pumpkin spice latte. From September to November, it graces billboards and features in so many #basic instagram posts. Unless you’re me and don’t like pumpkin spice lattes. Seriously, I share one maybe once a year with the Godfather at his…
Peanut butter pumpkin blondies are a delicious alternative to brownies in the fall. Festive, and easy to make, they’re a great gift or easy dessert. Strange as it sounds, you may thank a protein smoothie for this peanut butter pumpkin blondies recipe. I was on a pumpkin mocha protein smoothie kick for about a week, and the only can of pumpkin I could find in my cabinet was one of those…
This pumpkin chai tiramisu is an easy no-bake autumn dessert with just the right hint of chai tea! I was discussing fall desserts with my baby sister one day and she suggested a pumpkin tiramisu. I loved the idea! The thing is, baby sister doesn’t like coffee, at all, and if I make a dessert she inspired, it should be something she’ll eat. I thought about it a bit, and…
This vegetarian savory pumpkin lasagna makes the perfect vegetarian main dish for fall! Also a hit with the meat-eaters, it’s a great addition to your Thanksgiving menu. The centerpiece of many a Thanksgiving table next week will be a golden turkey. It’s iconic, classic, and screams “Thanksgiving” to most people. But what if you don’t eat meat? …
Bonjour mon amis! Mondays are for celebrations and so this Monday is for pumpkin chai MACARONS! <3 Those of you who knew me in my bakery days knew that the macarons were one of my signature specialties, but you didn’t think I just made them for you did you? Au contrair! My love affair with the macaron started long before, when I wanted to try one without driving an…
This Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls recipe updated January 2016 as part of the #ThrowbackThursday photography project where I add better photos to already delicious recipes! Would you like to know a sure-fire way of identifying a Type A personality (at least when it comes to things that are not laundry)? This post was supposed to go up Monday but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, and here’s why: I didn’t…
It may seem a touch arrogant to claim that this pumpkin cheesecake is “the best”, but I feel somewhat qualified to give it that distinction. You see, I have a certified cheesecake expert in our home (The Godfather), and given our time away from the more selective cheesecake-consuming metropolitan areas, I had to learn to make a really really good cheesecake. One that’s creamy but not slick, has texture but…
So the other day, I was bored procrastinating, and I decided to google pumpkin sugar cookies. I found dozens upon dozens of pumpkin shaped sugar cookies, and a handful of pumpkin spice cookies with assorted frostings, but not a pumpkin sugar cookie you could cut to hold its shape. I was surprised too. So I decided to fix that, and tweak my own sugar cookie recipe beyond recognition so it couldn’t…
The Godfather says I’m in “white girl in yoga pants” mode with all the pumpkin recipes recently, but I don’t exactly see him complaining. All I’m going to say is that it wasn’t me who ordered the pumpkin spice latte at Starbucks the other day. I do love pumpkin recipes though! Today I want to share a classic pumpkin recipe with a super cute Halloween twist. Pumpkin rolls used to intimidate me…
Happy first day of Fall darlings! After a warm weekend the Virginia weather is setting the stage for the change in season with just the slightest chill in the air, and I am “celebrating” with my first head cold in years. We are not amused in the slightest. Thankfully, the bug seems to be disappearing as quickly as it appeared, but I am limiting my kitchen time until I am better.…
