Look. I don’t know. I have a problem with queso. It’s just the perfect and most ultimate food in my personal opinion. And this Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is Fall perfection. It’s as easy as taking a small pumpkin, hollowing it out, and backing your queso inside it for a fun and festive way to get your queso on.

And… everything in moderation, right? This Bacon Queso Baked Pumpkin is the most amazing way to save queso in the Fall season. It’s visually appealing, and I mean… how do you even go wrong with queso anyway? If it’s wrong, I don’t want to be right…

Pumpkin Banana Bread

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…

Oh, what? You didn’t know that you could ‘bake’ your sweet potatoes in the Instant Pot? Well, you totally can! It’s quick. It’s easy. And it frees up valuable oven space around the holidays! These Easy 'Baked' Instant Pot Sweet Potatoes can be done, perfectly soft and ready to go, in just 12 minutes. Really? Really!

I was able to cook more than 4 lbs. of sweet potatoes in no time at all, days ahead of when I needed them! This means that I can make my Yummy Yam Casserole on my own schedule and in my own time. (Don’t worry, we’ll get to the Yam Casserole another day.)…

Skinny Pumpkin Cheesecake (Instant Pot)

November 9, 2020 Amanda Plott

I’ve made cheesecake in the instant pot before and with Thanksgiving coming up so soon, I thought it would be a great time to make a pumpkin cheesecake! This festive and lightened up cheesecake takes no time at all to put together and make in the pressure cooker. Plus, it’s every bit as good as any baked version while saving you time and the hassle of actually baking it.

It’s lightened up in the easiest of ways, using reduced fat cream cheese and substituting some of the sugar out for natural sweetener; which can be any sort that you like. Stevia, monk, splenda, etc. You can also top this cheesecake off with any toppings you desire. Caramel, chocolate, whipped cream, and the like…

Sweet Potato Biscuits

October 21, 2020 Amanda Plott

Who says Fall has to be all about pumpkins anyway? Sweet potatoes deserve some love too! These Sweet Potato Biscuits are easy to make and just about as delicious as biscuits can get. They’re fluffy and light and the perfect addition to any Fall inspired meal, be it breakfast, brunch, or dinner! I topped mine with some apple butter and served them with fresh berries as breakfast, but they would be damn good with some gravy or served alongside a pot roast.

These biscuits would be super easy to make vegan too! How? Just sub in some vegan butter for the regular butter and bing-bang-boom, you’ve got vegan biscuits!…
