Dark, rich and spicy, silky-smooth, melt-in-your-mouth homemade pumpkin butter from start to finish in just a half hour. Pumpkin butter is about the quickest and easiest fruit butter there is.  Let me tell you why. Apple, pear, and my personal favorite, peach butter? Well, they all start with having to wash, peel, and chop the fruit.  That’s not necessarily the case with pumpkin butter. You can use fresh pureed pumpkin or use canned pumpkin puree. Canned means that it’s already…

Italian Pinwheels have all the big bold flavors of a BMT sub sandwich in an easy to make, fun to eat roll-up! These addictive little appetizers have all the ingredients and flavor of my favorite sub sandwich, the BMT. Fun fact: Did you know that BMT stands for the biggest, meatiest, tastiest? These easy to make roll-ups are loaded with hard salami, pepperoni, ham, and Italian cheeses. A cheesy spread with cream cheese and mayo is the glue that holds…

Pistachio swirl fudge is an easy to make candy recipe that results in a rich and creamy pastel green pistachio fudge that’s studded with chopped pistachios and swirled with dark chocolate. This is one of those candies that looks complex but is actually so easy to make. If you have mastered melting chocolate and stirring stuff, then you’ve got the skills to make a beautiful plate of pistachio swirled fudge. You might also enjoy these Rocky Road Haystacks too, same…

Layered Oreo Pie is rich, creamy, and decadent while also being incredibly easy to make from scratch! Make this chocolate no bake pie when you’ve got someone you want to impress or when you’ve got huge craving for chocolate. I love chocolate pudding and I love oreos, but it seems like a lot of times desserts made with these two things are full of convenience items like instant pudding and cool whip. I’m no hater when it comes to convenience…

Strawberry Cheesecake Muddy Buddies. Strawberry cheesecake flavored muddy buddies with real strawberries and bites of graham crackers. An easy no bake snack mix that everyone will love! First off, do you call it muddy buddies or puppy chow? Because I grew up calling it puppy chow but it seems like most of the internet does not. Is that just a Midwestern thing? I made an absolutely divine cheesecake the other day for a birthday party.  It was a malted milk…

Our family does and this Orange Dream Salad is it! Christmas, Thanksgiving, Easter and even the 4th of July you’ll find this fruity delight on our table.

Rocky road haystacks are always a hit. Crunchy peanuts and chow mein noodles are paired with mini marshmallows and coated in chocolate for a sweet and salty no bake treat that’s quick to whip together.  These no bake treats are great for any time of the year, but generally I think of these cookies as a Christmas time treat.  Have you ever seen them added to a plate of Christmas candy? Try packaging them up with a batch of Salted Caramel…

This pepper slaw is refreshingly different. Sweet and tangy and full of colorful crunchy fresh veggies. Pepper slaw pairs excellently with pulled pork sandwiches and is easy to whip up the day before to bring to a dinner or potluck. In my house everyone knows that Tuesday nights are blog post nights. My kids know that I will need a couple hours alone time to write and edit photos. Blog night especially bothers my youngest son, he just wants to…

This easy cannoli dip tastes like classic cannoli, goes together in just a few minutes and makes a great party snack.  A few years ago I was lucky enough to get homemade fresh cannoli at a graduation reception, talk about heaven! Italians know their desserts.  Up to that point, I’d lived my whole life thinking that I didn’t like ricotta cheese, only knowing it as the kind of odd textured and powdery cheese in lasagna. I wholeheartedly admit that I…

Totally decadent, over the top, loaded peanut butter rice crispy treats. Chewy peanut butter rice crispy treats are layered with peanut butter cup filling, then topped with melted chocolate and m and m’s. These no bake beauties aren’t for the faint of heart, but are a must make for any peanut butter lover.  I noticed this week that I was becoming pretty predictable with my summer AHB recipes. A little fruit, a simple pastry or cake batter, a tasty glaze…
