Delicious Recipes to Keep my Family of Four Happy and Full
So far, I’ve been light on the pumpkin recipes here this year. Of course, the internet is blowing up with just about anything and everything pumpkin. I love pumpkin and have definitely been cooking/baking it with recently. I recently made the most flavorful pumpkin hummus and decided it was the perfect recipe to kick off pumpkin season here at Just Us Four.

I’m a sucker for an individual sized dessert. Make it layered and pretty and serve it in a small dish and I am all in. That is the idea behind my layered eggnog and pumpkin mousse cups. I wanted something that could easily be served individually but also looked pretty. Of course, tasting good was a must too.

As you are preparing for Thanksgiving, I’m sure you throwing around ideas of what to have for dessert and the standard apple pie or pumpkin pie comes to mind. We’ve even been known to do a little early Christmas baking and have cookies for our Thanksgiving dessert. How about breaking from the norm a little bit and doing pumpkin cheesecake bites instead? They are single serving making them easy for a dessert table and on your waistline on a day full of eating.

Pumpkin pie is about as fall as you can get when it come to food. It is THE pie of Thanksgiving and just fills your brain with visions of changing leaves and fall colors!

We are spending more and more of our holidays at home with family. With a large-ish house and two kids, it seems to work out really well for everyone to come and hang at our house for major holidays. We have space for everyone to stay and the kids can stay comfy in their own environment. Knowing I have extra mouths to feed in the mornings always has me searching for breakfast ideas that are quick and easy. Wanting something delicious but that required very little work of a morning led me to make this pumpkin pie french toast casserole recipe.

Bake sales are my weakness. I love going to bake sales and seeing all the delicious things people have made. Being on the baking side of the bake sale though, definitely my weakness in a whole ‘nother way. So, I set out to create a bake sale worthy item that even a non-baker could throw together and make it a best seller. My quest led me to Pumpkin Iced Ginger Snaps.
These cookies use a store bought ginger snap base {because hey…we’re non-bakers here} but look just as homemade and delicious as any other treat made from scratch. Their store bought origins will be our secret.

Very few food items say fall like pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. Combine them all together and you have fall in a dish…or in this case on a cookie sheet. I make some pumpkin cream cheese frosting and used it to make pumpkin snickerdoodle sandwich cookies. So, grab some apple cider and let’s start enjoying these delicious cookies.

I just can’t get enough of pumpkin this time of year. One of my favorites things are the pumpkin muffins from Panera. They come with this delicious powdered sugar dusting on top that makes them taste so delicious. I decided to try and make my own version of pumpkin muffins at home and added a cream cheese glaze to mine over the Panera powdered sugar. They turned out wonderfully so I will definitely be making them again!
