Caramel Apple Monkey Bread

October 19, 2021 Amanda Plott

Was bobbing for apples ever really a thing? I know caramel apples are, but I can’t say that I have ever, or would ever, stick my head in a bucket of water to try and fish out an apple by way of my mouth. So, caramel apples it is! This Caramel Apple Monkey Bread is a great way to sneak some caramel apple into your morning.

A bright crisp green apple that’s baked right into some sugary biscuit goodness and topped off with a quick homemade caramel sauce. It’s sort of perfect for a chilly Fall morning, don’t you think? Plus, there’s no bobbing or water buckets involved so it’s a win-win…

Giant Halloween Cookies

October 10, 2021 Amanda Plott

So far it seems that I have escaped the making of my chocolate ginger bat cookies this year. I think my daughter has been too busy with school and cheer that she hasn’t had the time to remember to ask me for them. And that’s totally find with me because that means that I have the time to make other Halloween inspired cookies - like these Giant Halloween Cookies!

These cookies are HUGE. I’m taking thick AND bigger than my spread out hand. That’s why I listed them as two servings per cookie. But, don’t let that stop you. These cookies are so good that you’ll want to eat the whole thing…

A plain and simple banana bread that’s loaded up with pumpkin flavor and warm spices of the Fall season. And yes, I can post pumpkin recipes all I want now that it’s officially FALL. Even though I’ve already been posting them. Now you can have even more of them!

This is a very traditional banana bread that I’ve added pumpkin and spices to. That’s really all. There’s no nuts. No chocolate. No other added things. Just banana and pumpkin. Simple and as tasty as can be. This bread, just like any breakfast style bread, is perfect to make on the weekend and have ready for breakfast all week…

Dinner is served! With my daughter being in cheerleading this year, there’s at least one day a week where we are rushing out the door between picking up from school, changing, and getting back up to the school. Oh, and somewhere in between that is dinner. That’s where this Chili Cheese Tater Tot Casserole comes into play.

This delicious casserole is not only quick to make, it’s also easy and only requires four ingredients. One of the best parts is that you can make it ahead of time and reheat later OR put the casserole together and store it in the fridge until ready for the final bake to enjoy. Either way, it’s super convenient!…

Whole Wheat Pumpkin Pie Spice Waffles

September 3, 2021 Amanda Plott

I'm so ready to get below 90 degrees F. for the first time this season. It's time for the end of summer now as as I’m concerned. One of my favorite things about fall has to be pumpkin. Pumpkin this, pumpkin that, pumpkin everything!

Today I'm hoping to entice the start of fall with these lovely whole wheat pumpkin pie spice waffles, and man... they are truly something worth waking up for. They are full of pumpkin flavor and the added warm spices that go along with a traditional pumpkin pie. These aren't your average waffles either, they are huge, fluffy, soft on the inside and slightly crisp on the outside; pumpkin perfection…
