Pumpkin spice coffee cake is perfect for dessert or breakfast (I’ve done the legwork!). I’ve been looking to add a pumpkin twist on a sour cream coffee cake I’ve been making for almost 15 years. I picked up my first can of pumpkin puree of the season this past week with half going towards this …
This baked pumpkin french toast is absolutely perfect on a chilly Fall Sunday. This recipe came about because I love sweet breakfasts on the weekend and french toast is usually my first go-to. I snagged my first can of pumpkin puree at the grocery store this past week with half going towards this french toast …
Enchiladas are among my favorite dishes to make, and I decided to mix things up with my cheesy beef enchiladas verde. Making your own enchilada sauce is quite easy, and this green sauce is just as simple as my red sauce. I think I may prefer this version in the long run because the salsa …
My mom used to make this simple basic tomato sauce by the cauldron to store in the freezer. Along with my Dad, they would fill gallon-sized freezer bags, lay them flat to freeze, then stack them up.

I was scrolling through Instagram and came across these creamy chicken enchiladas from Life Made Simple that looked absolutely fantastic! Enchiladas are one of my favorite dishes to make, but I usually make red sauce, so I was interested in coming up with a spin on a white sauce. For the chicken, feel free to …
These turkey pesto meatballs make a delicious, easy dinner at any time of year. If you have a favorite brand of store-bought basil pesto, by all means, use it to make your life easier. If you prefer a homemade version, I included a recipe in my summer pasta with chicken and pesto. Rather than pasta, …

This can easily be expanded to serve as many people as you wish, but also easily abbreviated to serve 2 hearty appetites. Be sure to take advantage of summer’s fresh tomatoes with this recipe. Also, …

The only part I didn’t love was how much grease splattered onto my stove and countertop, so my solution is Salisbury steak meatballs! While the meatballs bake in the oven I prepare my gravy and mashed potatoes on the …
