    [ad_1]

    If you love pumpkin, then you must make this bread! It’s simple to make and one of our favorites.

    ❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

    Well.. we love this recipe because we love pumpkin and we love pecans and this recipe just works. It’s moist and loaded in flavor and so easy to make! No mixer needed and comes together quickly. The streusel topping really takes this bread to the next leve and it stays put on the bread, which is a plus!

    SWAPS & ADDITIONS

    This recipe calls for buttermilk and we suggest you use it to make this recipe. Buttermilk adds a level of fat to this recipe, making it even more moist. You could use walnuts in this recipe as well. Someone commented they drizzled caramel sauce over the top and it was a hit. Another person commented they doubled the pumpkin pie spice. If you love the extra spice then by all means double it!

    Pumpkin Pecan BreadPumpkin Pecan Bread

    ⭐TIP

    Recently remade this bread and used parchment paper in the pan. It was an easy way to remove the bread from the pan in one piece. It worked perfectly. This brea also rises quite a bit but it didn’t run over at all. This is also made with 100% pumpkin puree, not pumpkin mix. Make sure you get the correct kind. One of the key parts of this recipe is putting the streusel topping in the refrigerator the way it says in the directions.

    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/4 teaspoon salt
    • 1 stick butter or 8 tablespoons or 1/2 cup melted
    • 1/2 cup white granulated sugar
    • 1 cup 100% pumpkin I use Libbys canned pure pumpkin
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 1 teaspoon of Pumpkin Spice
    • 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
    • 2/3 cup buttermilk

    Streusel Topping Ingredients:

    • 1/2 cup brown sugar separated 1/4 cup and 1/4 cup
    • 3 tablespoons butter melted
    • 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons flour
    • 1/2 cup roughly chopped pecans
    • Prepare your streusel topping: add the 1/4 the cup brown sugar and the melted butter to a bowl, and using a fork, mix to blend; add in the flour, and gently toss/fluff the mixture with the fork until the flour is incorporated, and the mixture looks like a bit like “wet sand” crumbles; set the streusel into the fridge to chill. Set aside the other 1/4th cup of brown sugar and pecans.

    • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Whisk together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice and salt in a large bowl and set aside. Combine melted butter, sugar, pumpkin, eggs and vanilla extract. Stir together with a spoon. Add to flour mixture and mix well with spoon. Stir in buttermilk. Spray a 9 x 5 loaf pan with cooking spray and add batter to pan.

    • Remove streusel from fridge and add the pecans and remaining brown sugar. Mix together and sprinkle over top of bread. Pat down a little with a fork so it will stick to the batter.

    • Cook for 60 minutes or until center test done.

    If you think you’ll have a tough time removing the bread from the pan, you can always spray your bread pan with nonstick spray and then line it with parchment paper. Make sure your piece of parchment paper is around three times the size of your loaf pan so that there’s an overhang on the two long sides.  Then add in your batter. This will help in removing your bread when it’s done.
    This bread is made with 100% pure pumpkin puree (I used Libby’s canned pumpkin), not canned pumpkin pie MIX.

    If you love these cookies you may also love our Old Fashioned Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. They are so good and as always, if you are not a fan of raisins, simply leave them out.

    ❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

    My family loves oatmeal cream pies! Most of you know that our Mom owned a country store when we were kids. This meant we had access to oatmeal cream pies 24/7. As a kid, I just couldn’t get enough. However…homemade is always better! These cream sandwiches are sooo good and be warned..completely addictive. My husband actually is the one that makes these cookies and we all get very excited when we see him in the kitchen. These little sandwiches are delicious!

    🍴KEY INGREDIENTS

    • Brown Sugar
    • White Sugar
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla Extract
    • Flour

    • Salt
    • Old Fashioned Oats
    • Plus, filling ingredients are found below in the recipe card.

    🍽️HOW TO MAKE

    These incredible oatmeal cream pies take a little effort. It’sn’t the quickest process, but the end result is worth it!

    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, this will take 2-3 minutes. 

    Step 2
    Next, add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Add in oats and mix them all together.

    • 1 cup unsalted butter softened
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar
    • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
    • 2 large eggs
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

    Cream:

    • 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 1/2 cups confectioners’ sugar sifted
    • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
    • 1 tablespoon whipping cream
    • Preheat oven to 350. In a large bowl cream together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy, this will take 2-3 minutes. Next, add eggs and vanilla and mix until combined. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, allspice, ginger, and salt. Add the dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until combined. Add in oats and mix them all together.

    • Drop dough onto cookie sheets. Dough will spread out so keep cookies about 2-3 inches apart. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until golden brown.  Once cookies have cooled completely, prepare the cream filling.

    Cream Filling:

    • With a mixer beat butter on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes. Your buttercream should be extra fluffy. With your mixer on a low speed start to slowly add in the powdered sugar. Continue mixing until the powdered sugar is completely mixed in. Next, add vanilla extract and whipping cream and mix through. Keep mixing at a higher speed for 2-3 minutes until you reach the consistency you desire. Spread the cream on one side of a cookie and place another cookie on top.

    This recipe made 7 very LARGE cookie sandwiches. You can easily make these much smaller. Cookies should be stored in the refrigerator. Let them set out for an hour or so before serving.

  • WALNUT MAPLE PIE

    WALNUT MAPLE PIE

    [ad_1]

    This Walnut Maple Pie will quickly become a family favorite. The combination of walnuts and maple syrup is wonderful and it’s a great pie for the holiday season too.

    Walnut Maple PieWalnut Maple Pie

    If you love this pie you will also love our Southern Maple Pecan Pie. It has wonderful reviews and it’s a family favorite.

    ❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

    Walnut maple pie is so easy to make and it’s delicious. I know most people really enjoy the traditional pecan pie but this walnut pie is just as good.  The maple syrup really compliments the walnuts. This pie would be fabulous for Thanksgiving or Christmas. Plus, it takes no time to prepare and is better the longer it sits so you can easily make it a day ahead of any gathering or event.

    🍴KEY INGREDIENTS

    • brown sugar
    • maple syrup (pure maple syrup)
    • eggs
    • butter 
    • vanilla extract
    • salt
    • walnuts, chopped or whole
    • unbaked 9 inch pie crust

    SWAPS

    This pie is wonderful the way it is, but you could always switch out the extract to rum extract, or add bourbon to this pie too. This is made with English Walnuts and you could use Black Walnuts. It will be a different taste as black walnuts are very strong. We make our own pie crust but you can easily buy the roll out kind from Pillsbury to save time in the kitchen!

    🍽️HOW TO MAKE

    If you use a store-bought pie crust, this pie will come together in about 5 minutes, which is always a plus!

    COOKING STEPS

    Step 1
    Whisk sugar, syrup, eggs, butter, vanilla, and salt together in bowl. Add walnuts. Pour into crust.

    Step 2
    Bake in 400 degree oven for 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 350 degrees and cook approximately 30 – 40 minutes longer until filling is set in center.

    Step 3
    Let pie cool and sit for 3-4 hours before serving. Top with whipped cream or ice cream for a wonderful dessert.

    ⭐TIP

    This pie will need to set up once you take it out of the oven. We like to let it sit for a few hours. If you are making this pie for an event you can easily make it a day in advance.

    SERVE THIS WITH

    We love to top this with ice cream or whipped cream. I think this pie is great hot or cold and we will heat up a slice in the microwave ONCE it has had time to set up.

    Walnut Maple PieWalnut Maple Pie

    ❓FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Do you use salted or unsalted butter?

    We use unsalted butter in this recipe but it really won’t make much of a difference.

    Mine didn’t set up very well, what did I do wrong?

    You need to bake it longer. All ovens vary.

    STORING AND REHEATING

    We store this pie in a cool place in a pie container or just covered in foil and we reheat in the microwave.

    If you love cookies, you will also love these delicious Cinnamon Pecan Cookies. They are made with cinnamon chips and have great reviews.

    ❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

    It’s funny because I’ve served them several times to people who claim they don’t like coconut or cranberries and somehow…they love these cookies. This is a simple cookie recipe but delicious. These cookies are great for gifts during the holidays.

    🍴KEY INGREDIENTS

    • Butter, softened
    • Brown sugar
    • White sugar
    • Baking soda
    • All-purpose flour
    • Cinnamon
    • Old fashioned oats
    • Craisins (dried cranberries)
    • Chopped pecans
    • Shredded coconut
    • Eggs
    • Vanilla

    SWAPS

    You could easily replace the pecans with any type of nuts your family enjoys or simply leave them out. You can also switch out the vanilla flavoring for maple or coconut. Could also switch out the cinnamon for nutmeg or allspice.

    🍽️HOW TO MAKE

    These cookies are really easy to make once you get all the ingredients out and organized.

    COOKING STEPS

    Step 1
    Preheat oven to 350. Combine butter and sugars in a bowl and mix with mixer until creamy.

    Step 2
    Mix in eggs and vanilla, and beat until well combined. In a separate bowl combine flour, baking soda, and cinnamon. Add wet ingredients and mix well. Stir in oatmeal, craisins, coconut, and pecans.

    Step 3
    On a greased cookie sheet (or you can use parchment paper) drop rounded spoonfuls on the pan. Cook for 11-14 minutes or until edges are brown. Makes 36-48 cookies, depending on size.

    Cranberry Coconut Oatmeal CookiesCranberry Coconut Oatmeal Cookies

    ⭐TIP

    Cookies should look a little underdone when removed from the oven and should be light around the edges.  Cookies will continue to cook from the heat of the cookie sheet once removed. This is a mistake I have made many times letting them cook too long and it’s easy to do. 

    SERVE THIS WITH

    These cookies are a great addition to any dessert table and your friends and family will love them. We also love these easy Cake Mix Cranberry Cookies. They are only a few ingredients and have great reviews too.

    Yes, you can leave it out. You may need to adjust the cooking time so watch them.

    Do you use sweetened or unsweetened coconut?

    We use sweetened but you can use whichever you prefer.

  • Old-Fashioned Snowball Cake

    Old-Fashioned Snowball Cake

    [ad_1]

    This Old Fashioned Snowball Cake is a no-bake dessert prepared with a premade angel food cake, pineapple and coconut. It’s absolutely delicious and beautiful on a dessert table.

    Old-Fashioned Snowball CakeOld-Fashioned Snowball Cake

    This cake is often served during the holidays. You may also enjoy our sour cream coconut cake, mandarin orange cake and do nothing cake.

    ❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS CAKE

    This is an old fashioned vintage cake. This dessert can be found in old church cookbooks and is probably one of my all time favorites. It was once a very popular Christmas cake. You may remember your mother or grandmother serving it. It’s simple to put together since it starts with a store bought angel food cake and Cool Whip. The hardest part is just waiting for the cake to form into a ball. This cake is so flavorful and beautiful on a dessert table. You’re gonna love it!

    🍴KEY INGREDIENTS

    • Angel food cake
    • Cool Whip
    • Crushed pineapple in syrup
    • 2 packets of gelatin (2.5 ounces each)-this makes the cake form a snowball
    • Lemon juice
    • White sugar
    • Boiling water
    • Flaked sweetened coconut
    • Maraschino cherries

    KEY EQUIPMENT

    ✔️I use a 4 quart mixing bowl for this cake. Just make sure you use a bowl large enough to fit the cake in and make the mold of a snowball.

    ✔️You’ll also need parchment paper.

    🎂HOW TO MAKE

    This may seem like alot of steps, but I promise, this cake is very simple and SO WORTH IT!

    PREPERATIONS

    Step 1: Line your bowl with parchment paper.

    Step 2: Cut the angel food cake into 1 inch cubes (bite size pieces).

    Step 3: Drain the pineapple and keep 1 cup of the syrup. If it doesn’t have a cup of syrup, add water to make 1 cup.

    Step 4: Dissolve both packets in the four tablespoons of water. 

    Step 5: Add the lemon juice, sugar, and boiling water to the gelatin. Mix well and put in the refrigerator until it starts to thicken up. About 20-30 minutes. 

    Step 6: Once the mixture has thickened a bit, add in the pineapple and fold in the Cool Whip. 

    Step 7: Put a layer of cake into the mixing bowl with parchment paper. Then add a layer of the cool whip mixture. Repeat until all is used. 

    Step 8: Refrigerate overnight or for at least 10 hours. 

    After the 10 Hours

    Step 9: When ready serve, invert the cake onto a platter, remove the parchment paper and frost it with Cool Whip. Sprinkle with coconut and place maraschino cherries on top.

    Before Frosting

    PRO TIP

    This dessert gets better with time. You can certainly make it several days in advance.

    RECIPE VARIATIONS

    You could easily add nuts to this cake or sprinkle them on top. You could also add green and red sprinkles.

    Old-Fashioned Snowball CakeOld-Fashioned Snowball Cake

    FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

    Will this cake work in different molds?

    I would think this cake will be fine in different molds! You could make smaller snowballs or even put this in a loaf pan of just serve it in a 9X13.

    Can I use homemade Whipped Cream?

    The structure of homemade whipped cream is different than Cool Whip so it may not frost the cake exactly the same.

    STORING

    Store this cake in a air tight container in the refrigerator. It will keep for 4-5 days.

    • Add the lemon juice, sugar, and boiling water to the gelatin. Mix well and put in the refrigerator until it starts to thicken up. About 20-30 minutes.

    • Once the mixture has thickened a bit, add in the pineapple and fold in the Cool Whip.

    • Put a layer of cake into the mixing bowl with parchment paper. Then add a layer of the cool whip mixture. Repeat until all is used.

    • Refrigerate overnight or for at least 10 hours.

    • When ready to serve, invert the cake onto a platter and frost it with Cool Whip. Sprinkle with coconut and place maraschino cherries on top.
