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.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
