I am a bit of a pumpkin pie snob. Canned pumpkin (or squash in reality) is just not as good as the real thing when you get down to the business of making pies. I have tried to concede over to the time saving merits of canned pumpkin when making pumpkin pies, but it just doesn’t taste as good. It …

Simply The Easiest Instant Pot Pumpkin Pie Puree
Last week I bought a pie pumpkin to use for my Holiday baking. I love using fresh pumpkin for my pies, because it really does tastes so much better than canned.

DIY Easy Jack-O-Lantern Felt Play Set

Air Fryer Pumpkin Empanadas
I admit to being hesitant to jump on the whole air-fryer band wagon, but Jen’s Guy was fully enamored with the idea of them and has been wanting one for quite some time. So like the old married couple we are, a few weeks ago to celebrate 21 years of marriage I gifted him an air fryer. My previous hesitancy …

The Easiest Ice Cream Sandwich Cake EVER!
I am not sure if the recipe I am going to share with you today leans more towards the mad genius kind of variety or the lazy genius. Either way, you are still a genius, and truthfully I don’t think I have created anything as amazing as this one in a while. It literally took me 10 minutes to put …
