Well Ya’ll, it’s Fall!

Which can only mean one thing - Pumpkins are here. Let the pumpkin craze began!

So for this fall I made and tested out a few pumpkin recipes for you all to try! They are easy fun and over all yummy!

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread

First I made a chocolate chip pumpkin bread because who doesn’t like chocolate chips. It was the perfect smell as it baked in my oven on a rainy evening, then it was the perfect mix of flavors between the fall spices of cinnamon and the sweet sense of chocolate on your tongue in every bite! http://www.twopeasandtheirpod.com/pumpkin-chocolate-chip-bread/

Pumpkin Pillow Cookies

Next I made these sweet little pumpkin pillow cookies. It’s very hard to just eat one! The cookie themselves are just wonderful but add the frosting and it’s a taste of heaven in the fall. http://www.marthastewart.com/318741/pumpkin-cookies-with-brown-butter-icing

Pumpkin Rice Krispies Treats

Now here’s something fun to do with the kids, grandkids or, if you’re like me, nieces and nephews! It will take a rainy fall afternoon from boring to booming! Pumpkin Rice Krispies treats! And the fun thing is you can add faces with candy like M&Ms and candy corn! Be creative! And make lots of memories! http://www.yummyhealthyeasy.com/2013/09/easy-pumpkin-krispies-treats.html

Pumpkin Seeds

All right, for all you heath nuts out there here’s one for you! I love pumpkin seeds in my granola in my yogurt in the morning at work! It gives you that good crunch and with the oats you fill fuller and full of energy, oh and everyone here at the office loves it! It’s such a great combo with plain or even strawberry yogurt! http://leelalicious.com/healthy-pumpkin-granola/

Pumpkin Chex Mix

Time for a great fall party mix! You get the fun flavor of pumpkin with nuts, pretzels and of course Chex mix. A handful of these with some good friends, board games or an old classic movie and you are all set for a fun fall evening! http://www.averiecooks.com/2014/10/crock-pot-maple-pumpkin-spice-chex-mix.html

Pumpkin Pancakes

Breakfast anyone? I love pancakes anytime of the day but there’s nothing like pumpkin pancakes on a cold rainy morning as you watch a movie with your momma! Add some REAL butter and a bit of syrup and I’m good to go. Sometimes it’s fun to sprinkle mini chocolate chips and some whip cream or add some slivered almond are also a nice touch! http://www.juliasalbum.com/2013/11/easy-pumpkin-pancakes-recipe/

These are just 6 of the many wonderful recipes on Pinterest that I’ve found! Now you will have to go on and find more for yourself, or add to these make them fun and make some fall memories with your family and friends!

Happy Thanksgiving!
