Perfect Autumn Secret Ingredient Chili
As soon as those leaves start falling, I’m busting out the crockpot and whipping up chili. But the same chili recipe sometimes gets old and even this chili lovin’ momma needs to switch it up. My kiddos are decent with eating veggies but I try to pack them in wherever I can. I added two cups finely minced spinach to this crockpot as well as 1/2 cup of pumpkin too. Everyone loved it. I was pleasantly surprised with the reaction- not that I thought they wouldn’t like it, but with the sneaky nutrients I packed in there, there were no complaints! Here’s the recipe! Ingredients: 1 lb lean ground turkey…

Pumpkin Spice Mini Muffins
September 1st on the calendar and that means all things pumpkin… right?

Turkey Pumpkin Chili
Sweet & Savory Turkey Pumpkin Chili I don’t know if I’m the only one who cooks like this, but I’ll start thinking up a recipe a week or so before I make it. I literally let it simmer in my brain. I think of things I want to add to it, how I want it to taste, what the texture and consistency should be. Then I get hangry. I start with the mouthwatering, drooling stuff. And I know I have to make it. Today I intended to make a chicken butternut squash soup in the crockpot but life got in the way and was saving this chili for the weekend…

Pumpkin Spice Waffles
With three kids with different preferences, I have learned that if I give into everyone’s requests I’d be a short order cook with an even shorter temper! So when one kid asks for waffles, and one kid asks for muffins, I make one big batch and put some in muffin tins and some in the waffle maker. Then everyone’s happy! This is the same recipe for my Pumpkin Chocolate Chip mini muffins but the only exception is I left out the chocolate chips. They could go either way. Or add nuts. Or sub pumpkin for banana. Or applesauce. Whatever your little one’s hearts desire! Pumpkin Spice Waffles: Ingredients: 1…

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Mini Muffins
I can’t get enough “holiday smell” in my house. It’s an addiction. I put away my pumpkin spice candle yesterday and busted out holiday spice and that cinnamon smell took over my house last night. It was heavenly. We decorated the tree. We hung our stockings. We listened to Christmas music and all was complete. Until I woke up this morning and missed that pumpkin smell. So I fixed it. Well, I fixed muffins. And waffles. With pumpkin and spices and warmth and honey and deliciousness. And they tasted amazing and are guilt free too! Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins: Ingredients: 1 1/3 c brown rice flour 1/2 cup quick cook…

Pumpkin Puff Cookies (clean and gluten free!)
It’s the most wonderful time of the year. Nope, not Christmas. Fall baking! If you haven’t been paying attention, I’ve busted out the pumpkin. We needed a cookie recipe. Bad. Something that would satisfy even the sweetest tooth without the guilt. Enter pumpkin puffs. These bad boys are so light and fluffy they almost floated away! I added dark chocolate chips (kid pleaser) and am calling them gluten free because I substituted brown rice flour and they turned out great! I hope you enjoy them! Ingredients: 1 1/4 c brown rice flour 1 scoop vanilla Shakeology (or protein powder) 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 1/4 tsp sea…
