Gluten Free Pumpkin Waffles
These gluten free pumpkin waffles are tender and full of spicy fall flavors! I know I said this in my last waffle post, but…life has been a bit…crazy? Is that the right word? Hectic? INSANE? Maybe that’s exaggerating just a hair. What with work, helping out my sisters after having their babies, battling an illness,…
Pumpkin Spice Latte
I remember the first time I ever had a Pumpkin Spice Latte. Starbucks had fiiiiiinally come to our small town. It was a chilly fall day, and I felt like having a treat. I ordered my PSL and walked back to my car, warming my hands on the to-go cup. Sadly, it was disappointing. The…
Organic Pumpkin Spice Coffee Syrup
Fall is absolutely my favorite of all the seasons. If Christmas were a season, I guess I’d choose that. But winter is far too long here in northern Minnesota for me. 3 months of beautiful snowy landscapes would be lovely. 5 is a bit ridiculous. So autumn it is. To describe the feeling that fall…

How To Make Homemade Roasted Pumpkin Puree
I remember the first time my mom made a pumpkin pie with freshly-made puree. The flavor was so much better than canned pumpkin. I was hooked. Now I have to make a pumpkin pie each year with fresh pumpkin puree. It’s just something that needs to be done. If you have never tasted a pie…
Phone Friday: Pumpkin, Kale and Hashbrowns
Hooray for Friday! On Sunday I suddenly contracted a nasty head cold that lasted for a few days. I was unable to do as much recipe testing for y’all as I had planned. There’s always next week! I cooked up some pumpkins for puree the other day, and Reuben requested that I roast the pumpkin…
Phone Friday: Homemade Pumpkin Pie Spice
Ever since I discovered that you can mix your own spices I have shied away from the pre-mixed store-bought varieties. I’m sure there are some lovely blends out there, but there’s just something nice about knowing exactly what and how much of everything goes into your seasonings. Plus, if you prefer to use organic spices,…
Pumpkin Pie Pudding
This Pumpkin Pie Pudding is creamy, dreamy, and scrumptious! As I’ve said before, pumpkin is my favorite of all the pies. However, there are few days besides Thanksgiving and Pi Day that I feel inclined to attempt an acceptable pie crust. If only I could find a way (besides using shortening: the horror!) to make…
Pumpkin Cinnamon Roll Scones
Hey everyone! Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just TWO days away? I don’t know about you, but I’m not feeling very prepared. I still need to get into town and buy ingredients. So much for making things ahead of time. Guys, I’m pretty proud of these scones. I just love how the photos turned…
