Pumpkin Cheesecake Brownies

September 23, 2011

I know, right? Pumpkin, cream cheese, and fall spices swirled into a moist, chocolatey brownie. Pumpkin cheesecake swirl. Oh, yes. The brownie base is actually my new favorite brownie recipe. It’s a little less fudge-like than I’d normally go for but it’s still on the dense-and-fudgey end of the spectrum. It gets its deep, chocolatey [...]

Baked Pumpkin Spice Donuts

September 20, 2011

I bought a donut pan last week. And it is the funnest $10 I’ve spent in a while. Donuts are one of the most inexpensive foods you can buy so why make them at home? Because around here, they don’t sell Pumpkin Donuts I took the basic cake donut recipe that came with the pan [...]

Homemade Pumpkin Spice Latte

September 15, 2011

Are you baking with pumpkin yet? Yesterday was the first day of the fall baking season in our house. And it was not 101 degrees outside (at least, that’s what I’m telling myself). There was a small pan of pumpkin cheesecake swirl brownies, Pumpkin Spice Lattes, and a custard that will turn into pumpkin spice [...]

Project: Pumpkin Bread

October 24, 2010

This is the first time I’ve been able to participate in Project Pastry Queen in… forever. We’re moved, unpacked where it matters (kitchen and bathrooms, baby!), and are enjoying the new place. And the new season. The last time I was able to bake for PPQ, it was still summer! People often say that there [...]

Pecan-Pumpkin Bread with Cinnamon-Honey Butter

September 13, 2009

It’s fall! [Insert girly squeal here] I know, I know. Your calendar says differently. But allow me to present to you my evidence: It’s slightly less hot than it was last month. It’s football season! I’ve had wicked cravings for butternut squash and sweet potato [fill in the blank] for the last two weeks. I’ve [...]

Pecan Pumpkin Tart

November 26, 2008

Some people have pie with their Thanksgiving dinner. We have Thanksgiving dinner with our pie. The kitchen island held the turkey, dad’s baked beans, and an array of sides but the “dessert table” was where the real fun was. Growing up, the dessert table took up the entire bar: – 10-12 chocolate pies – 1-2 [...]

Homemade Pecan Pumpkin Butter

November 1, 2007

I cannot consider any trip to the mall complete without a 20-minute detour in the over-priced-kitchen-store-that-will-not-be-named. We like to slowly creep along the aisles, pointing out $30 garlic presses and $100 pairing knives, and making mental notes of which products that we need to look-up online later (we rarely buy anything there unless we’ve Googled [...]

Pumpkin Pancakes

October 15, 2007

Another record! More than 20 straight days of 90+ degree weather. Where is this “fall” of which they speak? The masses are talking about comfort foods, soups, stews, and pumpkins while I’m scouting Target for that cheap Halloween toffee candy. You know, the khaki-colored wrapped goo in the black and orange wax paper? We called [...]
