Pumpkin Muffin Cookies have been a staple for us this Fall. They are soft, chewy and healthy pumpkin cookies easily customized with chocolate chips, dried cranberries or your favorite mix-in.

Pumpkin Muffin Cookies are are soft, chewy pumpkin cookies studded with chocolate chips or whatever mix-in you might enjoy, such as raisins, dried cranberries, nuts, the options are limitless. These cookies are actually kind of a cross between a cookie and a muffin, which makes them perfect for an on-the-go breakfast or snack, or just any time you need a little pick-me-up. Like I shared with you over doughnuts last week, lots of pumpkin recipes going on here!

The portability of these healthy pumpkin cookies made them an essential snack for us during our Fall activities. If you follow me on Instagram, you already know that our favorite activity this Fall was Sever’s Corn Maze! …

Pumpkin Pie Alpha-Bits Treats #alphabits

November 1, 2013 ·

Pumpkin Pie Alpha-Bits Treats put a delicious pumpkin twist on classic marshmallow cereal treats made fun for kids using Alpha-Bits cereal.

Now that Halloween is over, Thanksgiving planning is in full force. My favorite part of Thanksgiving planning is dessert!

I decided to combine my favorite Thanksgiving dessert (pumpkin pie) with a treat that kids love (marshmallow cereal treats) to create a fun Thanksgiving treat ~ these Pumpkin Pie Alpha-Bits Treats!…

Candy Corn White Chocolate Pretzels #SundaySupper

October 27, 2013 ·

Candy Corn White Chocolate Pretzels are a fun, easy, salty-sweet treat that is perfect for Halloween!

With Halloween only a few days away, I thought it would be fun to put a Halloween twist on one of my favorite holiday treats ~ Pretzel Kiss Candies. These treats are perfect for holidays or special occasions. They have that sweet-salty thing going on, which is wildly popular, and they can be decorated to coordinate with any occasion.

By using a candy corn instead of an M&M candy for the topping, Candy Corn White Chocolate Pretzels are a Halloween treat that is adorable, festive and fun for all ages. They are very quick to make, and so easy that the kids can easily get involved as well. The result is an easy Halloween treat that is always a crowd favorite!

Chocolate Pumpkin Cake

Chocolate Pumpkin Cake is a rich, moist chocolate cake made with pumpkin and a hint of spice. Pumpkin replaces much of the fat in the cake that is made on the lighter side!

Lately I have been enjoying making chocolate desserts a bit healthier using various fruits and vegetables. The results have been fantastic, with each recipe far exceeding my expectations. This Chocolate Pumpkin Cake is no exception! This cake kind of reminds me of a chocolate covered pumpkin truffle, only in cake form…and a little healthier….

S’mores Brownies #SundaySupper

September 1, 2013 ·

What do you get when you cross a brownie with a s’more? This easy recipe for S’mores Brownies!

As Labor Day marks the unofficial end of Summer, I am looking forward to cooler temperatures, Halloween (!) and, of course, lots of pumpkin recipes. While Fall baking is my absolute favorite, sometimes nothing hits the spot quite like a s’more. I have made several s’more-inspired recipes, including muffins, blondies, Golden Graham’s bars, even a cool and creamy pie! But these S’mores Brownies might be my favorite s’more-inspired treat. The chocolate brownie base is the perfect vehicle for all of the yummy s’more toppings, plus they take only minutes to prepare….

Healthy Banana Mango Smoothie

August 26, 2013 ·

This Healthy Banana Mango Smoothie is a thick, frosty, fruity smoothie with a protein boost from Greek yogurt. I often add ground flaxseed for additional health benefits.

Ever since I made my Diet Mixed Berry Smoothie recipe, I have been on a real smoothie kick. While I have enjoyed coming up with several different recipes, I think this Healthy Banana Mango Smoothie recipe is my favorite. When made with a perfectly frozen banana and chilled mango, this smoothie whips up to the consistency of soft serve ice cream….
