No-Churn Pumpkin Ice Cream – Easy & Homemade for Fall

by
No-Churn Pumpkin Ice Cream

Let’s mix it up a little bit this fall and have our pumpkin a different way. We all love the classics: pumpkin pie, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin bars, pumpkin bread, etc., BUT have you had pumpkin ice cream?! This incredibly easy to make homemade No-Churn Pumpkin Ice Cream takes just a few minutes to make, and you do not need an ice cream maker! I love to top mine with some caramel sauce, brown sugar, crushed pecans or graham cracker crumbs. This would be a great original Thanksgiving dessert or just a rough Monday treat!

Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes – Bite Sized & Delicious!

Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes

Cheesecake is such a great dessert, but sometimes is can be a real pain to make. For one thing, it takes a long time to bake a whole cheesecake. Another issue, for me anyways, is that traditional cheesecakes have a tendency to crack, so they don’t always have the best appearance. These Mini Caramel Apple Cheesecakes are fairly easy to assemble, they only require 18 minutes of baking time, and they are cool and ready to eat in less time that a whole cheesecake. These little personal sized desserts have a golden Oreo crust, a rich and creamy cheesecake center, an apple and crumb topping and they are finished off with a drizzle of caramel sauce. This is a great dessert for your holiday events!

Spiral Ham with a Brown Sugar, Honey & Dijon Glaze

Spiral Ham with a brown sugar, honey and dijon glaze.

The first time I hosted an Easter brunch at my house, I was terrified because I had never prepared a ham. It has always been one of those things that my Nanny took care of, and she does it so well that there really isn’t a need for anyone else to know how. After we moved out of state though, we started hosting different holidays at our house and I had to learn quickly. I found a recipe similar to this one online somewhere, and it has evolved into this Spiral Ham with a Brown Sugar, Honey & Dijon Glaze.
