Amaretto Pumpkin Cheesecake

Tuesday, September 22, 2020
If you love fall flavors then this Amaretto Pumpkin Cheesecake is going to be your new favorite dessert to make especially around the holidays.

This decadent cheesecake is creamy and has a fluffy smooth texture that really becomes an addicting taste.

Did you ever taste a little, then a little more, and still had to keep tasting it to identify all the flavors because it's so delicious and unique? That's what I found myself doing with this cheesecake dessert.

The pecan crust, cinnamon, Amaretto, and pumpkin spice flavors just are a sensational blend of flavors.

The first time I made this cheesecake wasn't a holiday and it was such a big hit, I decided it had to be saved for Thanksgiving or Christmas, I even made it for a New Year's Party!

If you have a nut allergy just substitute pumpkin seeds, I've had to do that when bringing it a party and not knowing every guest to be safe.


Pumpkin season is always my favorite and I always keep freshly roasted pumpkin on hand along with pecans in the freezer (it keeps them fresher all year long).


If you love pumpkin season as much as we do and have no time to bake you need to try my
4 ingredient pumpkin cake or instead of pumpkin pie, try these easy oatmeal pumpkin spice bars they're fabulous!


The Italian twist of Amaretto just compliments this pumpkin delightful cheesecake and goes great with espresso or our Homemade Amaretto Liqueur.

Thanksgiving Day Recipes

Monday, October 28, 2019
I can never have too many Thanksgiving Day Recipes.


Although we have our favorites for the Thanksgiving Day Holiday table, we certainly like to add a few over the years that we were introduced too.


We had never really had Butternut Squash soup and with one taste it was love at first bite.


There is a wonderful roundup below of tried and true recipes we make from year to year and some new additions to try.


Who could pass up homemade gravy, broccoli topped with cheese with a crunchy stuffing topping or a delicious Amaretto Pumpkin Cheesecake?


Everyone always looks forward to the desserts, there is always apple pie, pumpkin pecan tart pie, chocolate marble cream pie and old fashioned banana pudding on our tables.


Something for everyone and even some fluffy yeast rolls or broccoli cheese cornbread goes great with any brined Turkey.


We love our leftover hot covered Turkey sandwiches later in the week and make Turkey pot pies with leftovers.


I would love to hear what you do with your leftover Turkey and how you repurpose it for another meal in the comments.


Happy Thanksgiving and have a delicious day from our house to yours!

Pumpkin Bread or Muffins

Tuesday, October 8, 2013
This recipe for the best and easiest to make Pumpkin Bread is from the 1950s and mom always made this as soon as our pumpkins were ready to pick from dad's garden.

I tried so many recipes for this bread over the years and still come back to mom's it really is the best when it comes to moist, flavorful, and shouting pumpkin spice flavors.

The recipe can also be made with pure canned pumpkin and molded into muffins or even smaller loaves to give as gifts to family and friends during the holiday like she did.

The smell of this pumpkin bread baking alone will hook you forever on making this recipe from scratch with that good old-fashioned aroma of cinnamon throughout the house.

We often spread the pumpkin bread with cinnamon butter or cream cheese for a perfect after-dinner or breakfast treat.

You can even turn this into a luscious pumpkin bread dessert by using a slice topped with whipped cream and a drizzle of warmed caramel sauce.

Arizona Vacation and Pumpkin Bread Pudding

Thursday, May 3, 2012
Pumpkin Bread Pudding was the best bread pudding flavor we ever had being huge pumpkin fans, and if you are too then this is going to be a huge win with one taste!


We were lucky to get this served to us on a trip we took to Arizona, one bite and we were hooked, we just couldn't get enough of this delicious pumpkin bread pudding it was so delicious.


It tastes just like pumpkin pie but in bread pudding form. It’s rich and creamy and delicious in every way.


We loved Arizona and actually got to eat many Southwestern foods we weren't accustomed to and everything new we tried was fantastic but this dessert stood in our mind and I couldn't wait it get their recipe to try it.


Luckily I was able to recreate the recipe from the ingredients almost perfectly to what we remember and this pumpkin bread pudding is almost spot on with a drizzle of caramel rum sauce on top.


As a bonus recipe, I also included a Ceviche Recipe we fell in love with, it's a delicious shrimp-style vegetable salad, that's so refreshing and bursting with flavor, I have also included it below.


Did I mention this is a perfect almost tastes like a Pumpkin Baked French Toast Casserole and perfect for a Thanksgiving breakfast treat?

Baked Pumpkin Donuts

Tuesday, October 18, 2011
We just love the flavors fall brings with the fragrant smell of cinnamon, and comforting spices baked into these Pumpkin Donuts plus it's a super easy recipe to make!


If you're a big donut and apple fan you may also love our recipe for these apple cider donuts, we love to serve these two fall favorites during this time of the year!


These baked pumpkin donuts are great any time of the day and certainly perfect at breakfast time or a treat to bring to any outings, events, or get-togethers, especially around Halloween and Thanksgiving.


Our easy pumpkin donuts have all the best autumn spice flavors and complement this easy-made-from-scratch batter.


We love them plain, rolled in cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar, glazed with tinted frosting, dipped even in white chocolate.


There's no rolling, or cutting, just make the batter and drop it into donut molded pans


Baking is so much healthier than fried and you won't notice the difference other than they come out a little flat on the bottom.


Since you've insisted on the healthier version, I will leave a baked or Air Fryer method as an alternative to make these Pumpkin Donuts with that method below.
