I think I might be hungry....

Okay so I have been on the hunt for some really good pumpkin recipes that I can use to make something delicious and bring to our Relief Society Meeting this week. I am surprised at how many GOOD cooks there are. Now I define GOOD as someone who is down to earth and uses simple ingredients to make delicious food. Lets face it, we don't all have dry sherry in the cupboard or heavy cream in the fridge all the time.

So while looking, I found some awesome blogs/websites I want to share with everyone.

Our Best Bites This site is ran by Kate and Sara. They are stationed here is Utah (what can I say us Utahns are AWESOME!) I love how they have TONS of pictures and take the time to explain what they are trying to say! Here is some of just my fall recipes that I HAVE to try....(These are all of their pictures)


Candy Corn Cookies 

Sugar Cookies (what drew me was how it looked like Grandma's Big Cookie....)

Carmel Corn (this is the same recipe that I use, but she cooks the carmel in the microwave!!)

Cinnamon Bun Popcorn (Trav wants me to make this without the almonds though)

Easy Pumpkin Chip Muffins

Ginger Spice Cookies 

Homemade Pumpkin (A great way to use those pumpkins we decorate our front porch with)

Single Pie in a Jar (I think I might make some for my Father in Law for his birthday...something that he would LOVE after a long day of work!)

Then the second site that I found that has AWESOME recipes is Taste and Tell from what I have searched on her blog and whatnot, she is from Utah as well! We have some AWESOME cooks in Utah. Here are some that I have tried and can't wait to try as well! (These are her pictures as well)

Baked Creamy Chicken Taquitos

Puffed French Toast

Homemade Jordan Almonds (These are some of my Mom's favorite candy, when she visits in December I plan on us making her a batch to eat on the way home)

Zucchini Cobbler Bars

Halloween Popcorn Cake (I have made this already....so dang good!!! But I didn't do it in a bunt ban or add peanuts...but just as good! It is now my Halloween Popcorn!)

Lemon Candy Corn Bars (I can make these after Halloween right?)

Pumpkin Chili


Caesar Pockets (I remember when Wendy's used to have these when I was a teenager, oh how I LOVED them! But so excited when I found this! I am definitely going to have some for my lunches!)

Check out these ladies' sites and find some good stuff. If you make something and try it, let me know! I am always on the look out for EASY and YUMMY recipes...now I am a lazy cook...so SIMPLE is very important!
