whats cookin.

i have been doing a lot of cooking this fall.  
i thought that i would share some of the yummy recipes.
all of these are really easy too, which is a must for me these days.

this was really good and we made it with ground beef instead of turkey because that is what i had on hand.  we will definitely make this again soon!

  this was pretty good.  i think i would increase the cheese and decrease the mayo a little. 

these were really good and all of us ate them up.  cole loves chicken tenders and i like that these are way healthier than what we can get if we go out somewhere.

this was also really good and i liked how the biscuits baked right on top.

this was so good!  it is my new favorite way to cook salmon and even cole ate it up!

a great, kid-friendly and adult friendly mexican twist.  we all loved this and will make this a regular meal.  

pretty good.  i typically don't use cream of chicken soups (or cream of anything if i can help it) but this looked good and easy.  we liked it and it would be a great meal to take to other people.  

i also have been making a ton of pumpkin recipes for the fall because i am obsessed with pumpkin!!!!
(the girls love pumpkin too and have been getting in their cereal a lot!)

these were pretty good.  we think that the cream cheese center needed to be a little sweeter.  

this was also really good but kind of a lot of work for coffee creamer. i'm sure i will make it more in the future when i have more time.  

these were SO good!  brenner and i basically ate the whole dozen in 48 hours.  i tweaked the recipe and used half while wheat flour and splenda for baking instead of sugar to make it healthier and they were delicious!

pumpkin butter
i made this to give to cole's teachers at school.
(i really just wanted to try this recipe so i made up a reason to make it!)
it is just like apple butter, but a pumpkin version.
great description, right?
but it is good and so easy and will now by one of my go-to gifts for people during the fall and christmas seasons.

pumpkin chili
sorry no recipe to link to for this one since i got this recipe out of a magazine but it was really good!
i mean, who would have thought of adding pumpkin to chili?
i was slightly nervous to see what brenner would think of it (so i didn't tell him what i was making in advance) but when he walked in the kitchen i while i was making it he said, wow that smells amazing!
and it really was good.  it had a little mexican spin on it.
intrigued?  let me know if you want the recipe and i will email it to you.

easy pumpkin muffins
the easiest pumpkin muffin recipe ever???
one box of spice cake mix plus one can of pumpkin.  mix and bake according to cake box directions.
so easy.  so good.
i will be whipping up a batch of these next week when the family invades waco for thanksgiving.

i told you i am obsessed with pumpkin.

i feel blessed to be able to cook for my family each night and am fortunate i have a husband who likes to try new things and is patient when i became slightly obsessed with large orange squashes.
i am also grateful for the awesomeness that is pinterest.
