Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread

Ok, ok, I know we've already posted quite a few pumpkin recipes, but I just have to share this one with you.  After eating at Einstein Bagels and tasting their pumpkin cream cheese I fell in love and decided to make some of my own.  I played around with it a little and came up with a delicious little spread.  It's not exactly the same as Einstein's but I think it's just as good.  We love this on bagels, but it's great spread on other things too.  I spread it on graham crackers for a snack at Mommy School and the kiddos went crazy for it!








Pumpkin Cream Cheese Spread

4 oz Cream Cheese
6 TBSP Pumpkin Puree
3 TBSP Brown Sugar
1 tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
1/4 tsp Vanilla

Place all ingredients into a mixing bowl, and use a hand mixer to blend all ingredients together until smooth and creamy.  Scoop into a small jar.  This recipe makes just over 1 cup.  Place any extra in a small bowl (or whatever) and cover with saran wrap. Use that first.  This stuff is too good to waste!  Store in the refrigerator until ready to use.

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate. 

Bread Twists

These are my new go-to bread sticks for two reasons - taste and time. They have a wonderful buttery/garlic flavor and the kosher salt adds a delightful savory crunch.  The other thing I love about these is how quickly they come together.  It only takes one hour from start to finish.  One hour!  That's almost unheard of for a yeast bread.  Try these out next time you want some bread with your dinner but are short on time.
