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. 

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
