Pumpkin Eats!

I know I said I would post Pumpkin recipes , but I couldn't resist this one!

Sweet potato and black bean empanada's, They are savory and delish!

Whenever fall comes around, I crave empanada's. My grandma made them from scratch every year and the passion has passed to me.

So I love to try different flavors and textures. I found this one over at 

Naturally Ella, it's super healthy too.

 Add some rice and beans and your set!

 

Pumpkin eats!

Pumpkin season is almost here!You know what that means, We'll all be out to our favorite pumpkin patches soon, yay! I'm a little fanatical about pumpkin patches. I pretty much spend the entire month of October at my local pumpkin farm, hahaha.

Last year A friend of mine asked if I had been to the pumpkin patch yet? To which I replied with a hardy laugh... Are you kidding!?!

She didn't get it. 

It's funny to me how people go to pick out a pumpkin and leave it out on the front porch till it rots and then just throw it out.

People were so surprised to find out that I actually Cook my pumpkins and yummy food the whole season long, and if there's a pumpkin that for some reason doesn't get used, like the one we carve... You can throw it out in the yard and let it sit. If you put some compost on it you might just get your own patch next year!

So in honor of pumpkin season, I'll be posting great ideas for that wonderful orange squash we all know and love! Here's my first find.

I found this delish recipe over at Cookies & cups 

Fancy Shmancy Krispies !

Can't wait to try these! Head over to cookies and Cups and try these!

Let me know what'cha think.

homemade Play dough

Ahhh... Play-dough, Didn't you just love the smell of play- dough as a kid. Well let's be real I still love the smell of Play-dough, hahaha!

I thought it would be fun to make some with the kiddo's. My mother always made it from scratch when I was a kid. 

Right About now your saying to your self "why would I ever make play dough when I can buy it for like 99 cent?" 


I'm SO glad you asked! Here's The answer, You ready... Because It's FUN!!!
I Know, I know... Simplify and all that, but It makes you spend time with your kids and laugh. That's hard for me sometime ( Please don't judge me, lol )

 

It's pretty Easy it just calls for a lot of salt.

 Make sure you have everything set up before hand if you're making it with your kids, It just make's life a little easier. 

You can find the recipe here, But if you don't like it there are video tutorials on you tube also.

Here are all my ingredients 

The kids helped

Once we mixed the ingredients, we added color 

Patty Cakes, patty cakes!

 

All in all it was fun, I would do it again. Even if it is easier to just go buy some, hahaha!

Someone please make these!

Okay One of my baking friends has to make this. It's a little much for me to try but it looks ridiculously DELICIOUS!

 

I mean really! 

I found this over at Chef Tess Bakeresse, please someone make this and let me have one!

No pressure ...
