Pumpkin Treats Almost Too Good To Share

Paula — Wed, 28 Sep 2016 16:26:57 +0000

I was an adult before I grew into my love for all things pumpkin. As a kid, pumpkin never appealed to me as a food, or a flavour. It was fun to carve and sometimes a treat to make pumpkin crafts, but I would never have eaten pumpkin treats. Adulthood has some benefits and thankfully tastebuds mature sometimes. Even if you all like different things in your family, that’s okay, because some things are too good to be shared – like these pumpkin treats This roundup of beautiful pumpkin treats knocks my socks off. I probably wouldn’t have thought to put together Cranberries and Pumpkin. But these cranberry pumpkin muffins from Seasonal Family Fun are delicious and so good with a tea or coffee curled up reading a novel in your favourite armchair. In fact that’s one my kids would fight me for, I think. These gorgeous Cranberry Pumpkin Muffins can be found right here – > on Seasonal Family Fun. I would probably freeze a batch for later too. And this next one Caramel Frosted Pumpkin Bars caught my eye immediately. I mean Caramel is my jam, as you all know by now. And Caramel and Pumpkin go together perfectly. These would be gobbled up so fast here I can’t even tell you. These are from Frugal Family Home and they are clearly screaming make me now. I love this frosting. It is light and truly a great complement to the cake portion of the sumptuous pumpkin treat. This is one of my new favourite pumpkin treats, without question. You can find the full recipe here -> Caramel Frosted Pumpkin Bars. If I were you I’d want to follow this lady’s feed on Twitter. It is recipe gold. Frugal Family Home These Mini Pumpkin Pies with Sugar Cookie Crust and Cinnamon Crumble you have to share. You have no other options.

The Best Ever Cherry Desserts

Paula — Tue, 14 Apr 2015 02:42:29 +0000

Cherry Desserts remind me of being a child again. Cherries in general also do that for me. My Mom was the world’s biggest fan of strawberries. She loved cherries too. I think that was partly because her parents had a berry farm many years ago and she grew up eating both often. As a kid I loved cherries and some of the best cherry desserts too. My daughters both love blueberries and strawberries, but they crave cherries the most. There is nothing so simple, refreshing and healthy as fresh seasonal berries, just picked and ready to eat. I personally can’t wait until June when both cherries and strawberries are in season and readily available at U Pick farms and farmer’s markets. Fresh cherries are never in season long enough if you ask me. You know it’s summer when the pool is open here and the table outside is laden with fresh fruit and vegetables and dips and maybe even some of the best cherry desserts I can find. [tweetthis]Homemade cherry sweet rolls? Sure, why not? Perfect for any time of year.[/tweetthis] One thing I really enjoy about google and Pinterest is that there is never any shortage of content. If you are looking for a recipe on anything, you can easily find it. Just google cherry desserts and see what you come up with. There are some luscious cherry desserts here. Personally, I like my cherries to be tiny or diced into small pieces when baking with them. I love the flavour and the rich sauce they produce, but big chunks of fruit in food for some reason is less appealing to my taste buds. I adore cherry sauces, especially when they are fresh and home made, and most especially when they are drizzled over cheesecake! Enjoy these and take a moment soon to build one of my pick for best cherry desserts. The parfait looks dreamy to me. Gorgeous colours and contrasting textures too. 15 Best Cherry Desserts Ever Homemade Cherry Sweet Rolls – Faith Filled Food for Moms Candied Cherry Bundt Cake with Almond Glaze – Written Reality Chocolate Cherry Vanilla Ice Cream Sandwiches – Real, The Kitchen and Beyond Cherry Crumble – Bless This Mess Cherry Chip Cupcakes – Bless This Mess Chocolate Covered Cherry Shortbreads – This Mama Loves Cherry Layer Dessert – Written Reality Pomegranate Cherry Yogurt Parfait – Upstate Ramblings Easy Chocolate Cherry Cheesecake Brownies from Scratch – Real, The Kitchen and Beyond Gluten Free Cherry and Chocolate Chip Muffins – Fearless Dining Chocolate Cherry Chunk Cookie Bars Recipe – Snappy Gourmet Rainier Cherry Panna Cotta – Mooshu Jenne Dairy Free Cherry Chia Pudding Recipe – Happy Mothering No-Bake Creamy Cherry Pie Recipe – Worthing Court Maraschino Cherry Cupcakes Recipe – Thrifty Jinxy [tweetthis]Which of these cherry desserts would you make?
