The Pumpkin Patch ~ 15 Recipes featuring Pumpkin!

15 Pumpkin Recipes that were shared at Mix it up Monday!

Fall is my favorite season!  I love the crisp air, football, sweatshirts, the beautiful leaves, and the oh so delicious recipes!  Today I wanted to feature some Pumpkin recipes that were shared at Mix it up Monday.  Here are 15...I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!

No-Bake Dirt Dessert

Pudding, cream cheese & cool whip blended together then layered with cookie crumbs for one delicious no-bake dessert!

During the summer months, no-bake desserts are a favorite of ours!  Creamy Peanut Butter Fudge, Strawberry Cream Cheese Icebox Cake, Candy Bar Pie, and Snickers Bark are just some of the ones we love, and Dirt Dessert is on the list as well.  This is one of our go-to desserts to take to picnics and my son requests this as his birthday "cake" every year too.  This recipe isn't really sweet being that I don't add any extra sugar, and I like to incorporate sugar-free ingredients as much as I can.  It's simple to prepare and you can make it ahead of time too!

Quick & Easy Cake Mix Cut-Out Cookies #TheDessertDebate

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of The J.M. Smucker Company. 

The opinions and text are all mine.  #TheDessertDebate

The holidays are approaching which means the baking season has begun!  Even though I bake so much throughout the year, I still love this time.  I think it's because I get to make so many different types of cookies (and eat them), the kids are involved, and I get to give the cookies as gifts too.  I'm not creative when it comes to crafts so I like to make cookies, write names on them, and use those as the name tags for dinner or even wrap some up and give them as gifts.  We're all busy so one of the quickest and easiest ways is to use a cake mix, add butter & eggs and your dough is done!

No-Bake Mini Greek Yogurt Cheesecakes

Rich cream cheese and greek yogurt mixed together 

for the perfect creamy no-bake cheesecake!

It was our 21st anniversary the other day and I wanted to make my husband something special, but didn't want to turn the oven on.  He loves cheesecake so I came up with this simple recipe that doesn't require any baking!  All you have to do is mix a few ingredients together, place it in the freezer to set up and then enjoy.  I made mine with crushed oreo's and vanilla greek yogurt, but you can choose whatever flavors you like.  How about a shortbread crust with strawberry cheesecake yogurt; oreo crust with cherry yogurt, graham cracker crust with boston cream pie yogurt...the possibilities are endless and I can't wait to try them all!  If you try something different please come back and let me know in the comments, I'd love to hear your creation!

Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Quick Bread

Crispy on the outside, chewy on the inside and filled with chocolate chips;

just like the perfect chocolate chip cookie, but made into a quick bread!

Chocolate Chip Cookies are a favorite treat at our house and I'm sure a lot of yours too!  There's something about the crispy edges and that soft gooey center that melts in your mouth for pure deliciousness.  What if you're in the mood for a cookie, but you don't have a lot of time or you don't feel like making a batch?  Now you can whip up a loaf of this Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Quick Bread.  You get to enjoy the taste and texture of a cookie without all the fuss!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

  

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies are a little crunchy on the outside and soft and chewy on the inside               
 ...the perfection combination!

We've been making a lot of cookies lately!  This time we whipped up a batch of Oatmeal Raisin; they have a little crunch on the outside, but soft and chewy on the inside.  You'll love the simplicity of these cookies and you most likely have everything in your pantry.  I don't like my cookies to have a strong cinnamon flavor so I only added a little, however you can add more if you prefer.  These only take a few steps to make and they bake up in a matter of minutes.  They're especially good when they're still warm from the oven!

Double Chocolate Chip Peanut Butter Cookies

 

Recently I told you about these Chocolate Choc-Chip Peanut Butter Cup Cookies and how delicious they are.  While they're still my favorite, I decided to switch things up a little and make a peanut butter version.  My husband is a big fan of peanut butter so these were made for him.  Once again, they are super simple to make and they are quite delicious too!  I made mine with an ice cream scoop again because it makes a big, thick cookie that's a little crunchy on the outside and soft in the center.  You can always use a big spoon too.  If you have a peanut butter lover in your family then make sure you make a batch of these cookies soon!

Chocolate Choc-Chip Peanut Butter Cup Cookies

  

  

Has anyone told you they have the best cookie recipe?  I know I've said it and I think I do have some pretty delicious ones.  Well that all changed when my aunt made these Chocolate Choc-Chip Peanut Butter Cup Cookies for our family reunion.  I took one bite and fell in love!  I got the recipe, made a batch then another and another...they're addicting.  They start out with a chocolate and peanut butter dough, then you stir in peanut butter cups and chocolate chips.  They're soft on the outside, moist and kind of brownie like on the inside.  In my opinion, these are truly the best cookie I've ever made.  I'm so happy my aunt shared the recipe and now you'll get to enjoy them too!

No-Bake Cookies & Cream Cheesecake Pie

  

It's finally summer; the sun is shining and the weather is nice and warm! This means I'm outside more and not wanting to be in the hot kitchen for hours.  I use my crock pot a lot in the summer and I always love to make no-bake desserts.  The other day my husband mentioned cheesecake, but I didn't want to bake one so I made this simple no-bake cookies and cream cheesecake pie.  It starts out with a store bought crust, however you could always make your own, then a few ingredients are tossed in and in no time at all you have a simple and delicious pie waiting for you!

Welcome to Mix it up Monday!  It's hard to believe it's the first day of June...time flies by so fast.  My kids get out of school this week and the fun begins.  I'll be so happy to get a break from all the homework and just enjoy goofy time together.  I hope you and your loved one(s) are enjoying the warm weather we've been having; I think we can say summer has officially begun!  Thank you so much for taking the time to share your creativity, it is greatly appreciated.  Wishing you all a wonderful week! 

Apple Oatmeal Cookies

  

You all know Make Ahead Meals for Busy Moms, and if you don't...you need to stop over and take a look!  The recipes are perfect for any occasion, there are reviews and lots of giveaways!  One cookie that is quite scrumptious are these Apple Oatmeal Cookies...they are very moist and have just the right amount of sweetness.  You can add chocolate chips or raisins, but I think they’re flavorful enough without them!  With 1 cup of shredded apple and 2 cups of oatmeal, you almost don’t feel guilty eating them!  I hope you enjoy!

Featuring You!
