It's a snow storm bust for Oklahoma. A crazy storm system was off the Pacific coast earlier this week and models were going crazy. It's incredibly hard to predict volatile weather like snow and ice, especially right here smack dab in the middle of the country. We were preparing for the worst, yet hoping for… Continue reading Pumpkin Pecan Slab Pie

Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
Halloween is still three days away, but the city Rob & I live in had their citywide Trick or Treating yesterday. Ghosts and goblins and princesses came to our door while we were carving pumpkins and celebrating this spooky time of year. We also went to go see the new Halloween movie yesterday. I was… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Chex Mix
Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
Steering clear of sweet stuff has been so hard, y'all. I haven't had chocolate, or ice cream, or pie...or any goodies that always seem to make it into the newsroom. I did try some Halo Top ice cream last weekend and it was great. Other than that, I've had zilch. Zero. Negative sugar count. You… Continue reading Pumpkin Cheesecake Bites
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cornbread
It's spooky movie season in the Wilson-Welcher household. Rob and I went to see "It" Friday evening, and while not really scary for me, it was still creepy. We followed up the theatrical goodness with the disastrously funny "Gingerdead Man" (low level B-movie starring Gary Busey? Count me in.) and then the beautifully artistic "Suspiria"… Continue reading Pumpkin Cream Cheese Skillet Cornbread
Pumpkin-Basil Spaghetti & Meatballs
Let's talk spaghetti. Spaghetti has invaded American kitchens for years. It's cheap to make, feeds a whole family, and fills you up quick. There are a million different ways to make it, and a million different ways to eat it. When we make spaghetti, nine times out of ten we use pre-made, jarred sauce and… Continue reading Pumpkin-Basil Spaghetti & Meatballs
Pumpkin Hot Chocolate Cake
Pumpkin spice lattes are back at Starbucks. There's a crisp cool breeze in the air. Leaves are....not crunching under my feet, but that's neither here nor there. Fall is pretty much in full swing in Oklahoma. The return of the PSL marks the annual awakening of the inner fall-lovers in all of us. I have… Continue reading Pumpkin Hot Chocolate Cake
Pumpkin Pie Cake
It's Christmas Eve, and I'm sitting here sipping on some eggnog and listening to Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker by the London Symphony Orchestra on our brand new soundbar---underneath the glow of the white Christmas lights. One could say I adore Christmas, no? It's my favorite holiday, one that I celebrate for almost the entire month of November… Continue reading Pumpkin Pie Cake
Harvest Chicken Lentil Chili
Remember those bizarre recipes I found in my most recent cookbook purchase? Well, they do not top this one: A peanut butter, raisin, pickle and mayonnaise sandwich?! What??? What kind of blasphemy is this? I----I just----I can't even imagine this. It sounds so incredibly disgusting. I had to drink a gallon of water just to get that… Continue reading Harvest Chicken Lentil Chili
Pumpkin Oat Chip Cookies
Oklahoma City has finally joined the civilized world...WE GOT A TRADER JOE'S, Y'ALL!! I'm so freaking excited. I decided not to venture to the new grocery store on the very first day of its opening, so I went the next day...and it was well worth it. Even though the small building was packed, the lines flowed quickly. I had… Continue reading Pumpkin Oat Chip Cookies
Pumpkin Seed Brittle
It's been a looooong week. I've had a ton of special shoots, edited a trillion stories for air on our multiple shows, and then just wrapped up working a 14+ hour day for the OU vs. Ohio State game. In case you missed it, OU lost. Badly. But that's okay with me---I always root against… Continue reading Pumpkin Seed Brittle
