It's hard to believe that Americans obsession with pumpkin spice is realitvely new. 20 years ago, pumpkin spice lattes and pumpkin-flavored candy weren't as big of sellers as they are now. The pumpkin-spice-everything craze did not really start until Starbucks started promoting it excessively a few years ago. What is the reason behind our obsession… Continue reading Pumpkin Scones with Vanilla Icing

Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake
One of my fondest memories of my grandmother is helping her make coffee cake. It was her signature recipe and one that she would make for special occasions, holidays, and any time a grandchild would ask for it. It was a simple recipe made from hot roll dough topped with a streusel crumb topping. It… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Coffee Cake
Pumpkin French Toast Bake
Pumpkin spice everything is all the rage right now. I know it usually gets a big boost in the fall, but this year it seems like it's absolutely everywhere. I'm not complaining. I love pumpkin. I mix it in with my oatmeal, coffee, and pies. It's delicious. Pumpkin doesn't have much flavor in and of… Continue reading Pumpkin French Toast Bake
Pumpkin Spice Magic Bars
I'm shocked by the amount of people who have never heard of magic bars before. When I was doing research on this recipe, I kept seeing comments on other magic bar recipes saying stuff like, "I think an ingredient is missing. Don't you need flour so it's not so liquidy?" Here's a helpful hint for… Continue reading Pumpkin Spice Magic Bars

Rice krispies don't take a lot of effort, and adding the extra pumpkin spice flavor doesn't take much effort either.

Chana Masala Breakfast Tacos
One of the worst things about moving out of the city is the lack of food options. I no longer live near a Crest grocery store. My favorite Thai food is at least 30 minutes away. There's a lack of options when it comes to Chinese restaurants. Korean and Vietnamese restaurants are non-existent. And I… Continue reading Chana Masala Breakfast Tacos
Pumpkin Pecan Slab Pie
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 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
Moroccan Chicken Stew with Golden Cauliflower Rice
It's tax free weekend here in Oklahoma! It's actually kind of a joke, really. You can only get clothes and shoes tax free, and they have to be less than $100. School supplies are not included, which is 100% weird. School supplies were always included on tax free weekend in Texas. Of course, Texas also… Continue reading Moroccan Chicken Stew with Golden Cauliflower Rice
Lasagna Stuffed Peppers
I feel like you could stuff a pepper with anything and it would taste good. I've done buffalo chicken & quinoa, Philly cheesesteak, and the classic version with ground beef and tomatoes. I mean, seriously. Can you think of something that wouldn't taste good stuffed into a pepper? Ice cream, probably. I don't think ice… Continue reading Lasagna Stuffed Peppers
