Thanksgiving has passed and that means the big one is coming…CHRISTMAS! And before you even have to ask, yes I am that person who thinks about Christmas starting in the summer. I mean I refuse to buy anything for Christmas then but there’s no harm in doing some brainstorming. I’ve been planning what to make…
Oatmeal Apple Pear Crisp
Oatmeal Apple Pear crisp is one of my fall favorites. I especially love this version because the pears add SO much to this dessert favorite! Nothing says fall quite like an apple crisp. Growing up in the country, we would always make this favorite and one of my favorite versions is Oatmeal Apple Pear Crisp. Yes…
Pumpkin Pie Oat Bars
What’s better this time a year other than Pumpkin Pie Oat Bars? But actually what really is better? I’m crazy for all things pumpkin right now and these bars are truly my new favorite. I was looking for new ways to create pumpkin recipes and stumbled upon an oatmeal bar recipe that I had made…
Puff Pastry Apple Walnut Dumplings
Are you ready for an apple pie, party for one? Well I’ve got you covered with my Puff Pastry Apple Walnut Dumplings! These are seriously the best and super easy and quick to make since they use frozen puff pastry instead of making dough for pie crust. My mom used to make apple dumplings for…
Puff Pastry Apple Hand Pies
There is nothing better than a warm apple pie. But unfortunately I have a love/hate relationship with making it. I love the delicious outcome but hate how I end up eating the whole pie. Yup, if it’s in front of me I will eat the whole darn thing. BUT now I have found a…

Pumpkin Chiffon Cake with Pumpkin Buttercream
Here’s my dirty little secret for when I bake with pumpkin. Have you ever noticed that baking with pumpkin puree can change the texture and consistency of a dish? Adding wet pumpkin puree can weigh down a mix and often it can lead to dense and chewy baked goods. But here’s my secret to…
Honey Apple Bundt Cake
To me Fall is all about apples. I know the world is crazy about pumpkin everything these days, but apples are and will forever be the original fall craze. I recently made this great Honey Apple Bundt Cake recipe that is just to die for. Seriously, if you try it you’ll be saying “Pumpkin…
Bananas Foster Brown Sugar Cupcakes
Bananas have been one of my favorite foods my whole life. I even used to eat one for breakfast everyday before school (I was definitely a creature of habit and went through many breakfast food phases that would last for months at a time). So when I mistakenly got too many bananas when I…
Peanut Butter and Jelly Crumble Bars
It may be back to school time for many, but I’m finally done with school. I’ve been done for a few years but it still feels good to say it out loud. But even though I’m done, each passing September, I become a bit nostalgic for those “good ‘ol days.” The days when your…
