Oatmeal Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies

I have a quicky for you today! This is the last of the pumpkin recipes for the week. It’s a very simple recipe with subtle Southwest flavors and a hint of sweetness. This soup would make a great first course or a meal in itself with a side of crusty bread or cornbread. I’ve been [...]

In the midst of all this pumpkin-feasting…I was asked to prepare toasted pumpkin seeds for my cooking demonstration. Hmmm….toasted pumpkin seeds.

I celebrate glorious Fall with this glorious pumpkin bread recipe! This recipe is from an old friendship from many years ago. The friendship has since faded but not the memories.
