This is a completely insane pumpkin dessert that you don’t yet know you need! My friend Kim made this years ago and I was shocked at how amazing it tasted compared to how easy it was to make. Your home will smell divine! INGREDIENTS 1 - 29 ounce can Pumpkin Pie Mix OR plain pumpkin puree 1 - 6 ounce can evaporated milk 3 eggs, lightly beaten 1 cup Sugar 1/2 teaspoon salt 2 teaspoons cinnamon 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg 1 teaspoon vanilla 1 box yellow cake mix with pudding 1/2 pound b

I found these on Pinterest several years ago and just remembered them in time for Thanksgiving! They are delicious and super easy. The most important part is making sure you grease the muffin pans well. REALLY well. INGREDIENTS 1 cup packed light brown sugar 1/2 cup all purpose flour 2 cups chopped pecans 2/3 cup butter, softened 2 eggs, beaten 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon salt INSTRUCTIONS Preheat oven to 350 ° F. Grease mini or regular muffin pans. Be sure to generously

🍋 Lemon is one of my top 3 favorite ingredients. I love it in both sweet and savory dishes and definitely in drinks/cocktails. Maybe I have been accused of using a bit too much at times (totally valid complaint) but this recipe is perfectly balanced. 🍋 It is both delicious and very easy to make - having only 5 ingredients. Great for a last minute treat! The ingredients are listed in both metric and imperial measurements since Nancy and her recipe are from the UK. For "serio

For some reason I’ve had pecan pie, instead of pumpkin-which I'm usually looking for, on my mind for Thanksgiving. Specifically, I’ve been thinking of the cutest little pecan tarts that my friend Anne makes. I prefer the crust to filling ratio with the small tarts. The buttery crust balances the super sweet filling. They’re always so good! "My sister-in-law gave this recipe to me when I was 18 years old. Her father raised pecans and she always made pecan pies for our Christm

Ohh, where to start...there are so many desserts and I like them all! I'm going to err on the side of less is more here and just post the last couple I've had or made that are a bit off the beaten path. Pumpkin Roll I've always loved pumpkin desserts but this is my favorite! My mom makes this every year and I always make sure I have a slice saved for breakfast the next day with a cup of coffee. Cranberry Pudding Cakes These little "puddings" are the creation of the British Ba

Nothing says Easter like Cadbury mini-eggs and coconut desserts. I've always loved the Easter candy/dessert options best. I have no clue how to make Cadbury mini-eggs but I did find a really nice coconut pie recipe a few years ago that I've adapted just a bit. This pie recipe by Tasty Kitchen turned out wonderfully. It has a crispy top and a gooey coconut-filled center. I used a store-bought, refrigerated pie crust but you could replace it with your own, homemade crust inste

This is a dessert everyone loves and my mom has been making it for years. I believe you can even find this in grocery stores now! I prefer it for breakfast rather than dessert because it goes soooo well with coffee. My mom is known for desserts in the family - but she also shows up with green bean casserole and Mexican cornbread every Thanksgiving . So, although she claims not to like cooking, she does a very good job of it! Roll Ingredients: 3 eggs 1 cup sugar 3/4 cup self-r

These are actually called Steamed Puddings, but since I am American and I'm not sure how many of you are addicted to The Great British Bake Off as I am, I didn't want you to think I was giving you an American "pudding" recipe. This recipe comes from Nancy Birtwhistle , one of the Bake Off winners who I wound up following on Instagram before finding out she won Bake Off one season. I made these for Thanksgiving last year and they were soooo tasty! The goal was no leftovers...a

Lemon flavored anything is always my favorite. So when I came across this recipe in Julia Child's Mastering the Art of French Cooking I decided to give it a try. It is not as sharp and tart as the creamy, lemon curd-ish tarts I've had before, but a lighter, fluffier filling with a bit more subtle flavor. I paired it with a tart crust from Nancy Birtwhistle's Sizzle and Drizzle . Above are tartlets - little mini versions of a larger tart. Either size turns out well. Another v

I found this recipe on Pinterest years ago and have made it over and over since. It turns out well each time and I get asked to make it repeatedly. The ingredients are the stars here so splurge for quality chocolate and butter .
