Honey Pumpkin Cornbread

The sweet, earthy flavor of honey and pumpkin puree compliments the iconic Southern cornbread beautifully. HONEY PUMPKIN CORNBREAD This pumpkin cornbread, lightly sweetened with honey, is rich and moist and has plenty of pumpkin flavor.  It's the perfect accompaniment to any side dish for soups, stews, and chili, not to mention a must on your Thanksgiving table.    When October comes around, I start thinking of all the pumpkin recipes I can make.  Last year, I wanted to make Honey Pumpkin Cornbread but never got around to making it.  For me, making any kind of cornbread other than the traditional is stepping outside of the box, but I must say, it is absolutely delicious.

Baked Chicken and Dumplings

Baked Chicken and Dumplings has all the flavors of Homemade Chicken and Dumplings without rolling out the dumplings.  This casserole is truly magic dumplings! My husband loves my  Homemade Chicken and Dumpling recipe, and he was a little hesitant when I told him I was going to make Baked Chicken and Dumplings .  He could not imagine how they would turn out, and I must say I was a little intrigued too.  

Hobo Dinners

Hobo Dinners are a favorite around our house during the cooler months. I have meant to post this recipe, but it just seems other recipes get in front of it.  Around this time last year we were visiting our niece and she served these delicious bundles for dinner.  She is a wonderful cook and hostess.  I just loved sitting at her table and enjoying her taste in food.

Pumpkin Toffee Muffins

When fall comes around, I love to make muffins.  These deliciously moist Pumpkin Toffee Muffins are perfect for breakfast or a take along snack.  We even love them for dessert.

Chili Smothered Burritos {Using El Monterey frozen burritos}

Chili Smothered Burritos , frozen burritos coverd with sliced cheese and chili gravy then topped with shreaded cheese.  To make them a little spicy add jalapeno slices.   When my children were school age, Chili Smothered Burritos  were on our monthly menu rotation a couple of times.  

Strawberry Pie Filling Fruit Salad

Strawberry Pie Filling Fruit Salad is the easiest fruit salad you will ever make.  My husband adores this stuff.  Actually, he loves fruit period.  He eats this fruit salad for dessert more times than a salad.  

Creamy Skillet Lasagna

The recipe for Creamy Skillet Lasagna has been floating around Pinterest for a while now, and I thought I would give it a try using ingredients I had on hand and make it for my husband.
