These pumpkin oatmeal cookies are made rich with butter, chewy with oats, decadent with chocolate chips, soft and flavorful with pumpkin and spices, and of course nicely sweet with two types of sugar.

They are a fun new take on a nostalgic childhood favorite. We know and love the traditional pumpkin chocolate chip cookie, but here we add some oat-y goodness for extra flavor and texture.

It's a tempting fall cookie that's easy to make, a fun treat for parties, and they're always sure to satisfy those seasonal pumpkin dessert cravings.

Make a batch this weekend then save the recipe for the holidays to impress your guests!

Easy Christmas Tree Charcuterie Board

A charcuterie board has never been so fun to make! Everything you get in a traditional charcuterie board shaped into a festive Christmas tree!

It's simple to assemble, it just takes a little bit of chopping and some basic artistic planning.

This is a family friendly charcuterie board and it's adaptable to swapping out some of the things I've shown here for things you may already have. The idea is just to stick to that simple red, green, and white/yellow theme for those classic Christmas colors. Then of course just keep the "Christmas tree" shape as you go.

A delicious holiday project that may just become a new family tradition at each yearly holiday gathering!

Pumpkin Cobbler Style Cake

This homestyle, cozy autumn dessert is something that should be made a least once during the holiday season each year. It comes together in minutes, doesn't require making pie crust and you get the bonus of sweet cake atop.

It's the perfect alternative treat for those who don't prefer pie and would be a welcome addition at a holiday feast.

I've made it the traditional way with box cake mix to make it speedy, though you could try whipping up your own blend if you've got a little extra time (see note below).

It's a no-fuss, minimal effort dessert that uses pantry staples and leaves you with a crowd pleasing old fashioned style, utterly delicious cake!

Our Favorite Apple Salad Recipe!

Who doesn't love a salad that includes fresh seasonal ingredients? Many of us are baking with those delicious seasonal fall apples (making apple crisp, apple pie or apple cobbler) but those juicy apples are also such great addition to savory recipes (like this autumn sheet pan chicken dinner) and side salads like this.

Apples are the crowing star of the show in this salad and they are highlighted beautifully by the other ingredients like the tangy feta and rich smoky bacon. Bacon makes everything better though right?

This salad is simple enough to be an addition to weeknight meal but it's also delicious enough to be served at a holiday gathering or a weekend party.

If you want to make it a main dish just add some chopped rotisserie chicken to it for more protein or consider tossing in a grain like farro, barley or even seedy tri color quinoa.

So much to love about this colorful, vibrant, sweet and savory salad!

Autumn Apple Pecan Chicken Salad

A crisp, apple studded, protein rich chicken salad that's perfect for a hearty autumn lunch or even a simple weeknight dinner that won't weigh you down.

It's made healthier with a combination of Greek yogurt and a little mayo, and it pairs beautifully with a hearty whole grain bread. Or you can serve it lower carb over lettuce leaves for another nutritious option.

This version is made with rotisserie chicken but you can use leftover cooked chicken breasts as well. I just recommend that you avoid canned chicken for a better chicken salad.

It's simple to make and worthy of your recipe collection!

Try serving it with baked sweet potato fries or sweet potato chips for a colorful fall pairing.

What are Cowboy Cookies?

We are all familiar with the classic chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter cookies, sugar cookies and snickerdoodles but what exactly are cowboy cookies?

They are a cookie similar to oatmeal cookies as they include oats but what makes them unique is that they also include additions of shredded coconut, chocolate chips, pecans and cinnamon.

Some say they were created and attained their name in being a a good pack along cookie that held up well in a saddlebag, while others believe they originated in Texas and are named after the cowboys.

People of all ages love these cookies and they are a welcome change from the traditional cookies with one main flavor. These are tempting blend of so many cookies in one!

What's not to love about these highly textural cookies? It's a decadent cookie brimming to the max with all the best things!

Individual Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Baking sweet potatoes twice takes a little more time, but is well worth the effort. Orange flesh sweet potatoes are baked until nicely tender, then they are hollowed out into boat-like shapes. From there, the sweet potato filling is mashed and blended with butter, cream, maple syrup, and a hint of spices.

Once perfectly combined, return the mashed sweet potatoes to the skins, cover them with a pecan streusel topping, and bake until it's satisfyingly crisp. And last but not least they are finished with melty, broiled, and beautiful browned mini marshmallows.

Such a treat to enjoy year-round, not just on Thanksgiving! Is this dessert or a Thanksgiving side dish? You decide.

These are made with a medium sweetness to them but you can easily adjust it to taste by drizzling in more maple syrup as you mix.

A Quick and Easy Granola Recipe!

Sometimes I just don't have the patience for how long a lengthy-cook time granola traditionally takes in the oven. And so I set out to test granola over the stovetop to see if I could get a similar result in a fraction of the time.

And believe it or not it works! It's sweet, nutty, crisp, toasty, made with nutritious ingredients, and deliciously fresh. In other words much better than what you buy in a box or bag.

Plus it makes a smaller batch because you may not always need a big batch of granola.

There are endless ways to use it, or you can simply snack on it plain because it's completely irresistible!

Ways to Use This Homemade Granola

• Add to yogurt or finish it over berry parfaits.
• Toss into a berry salad instead of croutons (love this one!).
• Bake some diced, lightly sweetened fruit and use this for a finish.
• Add to grilled fruit, such as peaches with mascarpone.
• Sprinkle over ice cream, a banana split, or pudding.
• Dip fruit into a fruit dip or caramel dip then dunk in the granola.

What is a Nanaimo Bar?

Some of you are likely asking, what are Nanaimo Bars? They are a popular Canadian confection, basically a layered bar cookie, that to me tastes very similar to a richly chocolaty, loaded fudge. They are named after the west coast city of Nanaimo, British Columbia.

They consist of 3 layers, a cracker crumb and chocolate base, a custard flavored icing and then they're finished with a chocolate coating.

The instructions for these treats may appear to be long and tedious but these tasty treats are surprisingly super simple to make. They are a no-bake bar, after all.

After one taste you'll be wondering where these delicacies have been your whole life!

What do they taste like?

To me they are reminiscent of fudge, or an Almond Joy - but much better of course. It's something about the chocolate, almond coconut combo. A great combination!

Pecan Chicken Video

[wprm-recipe-video]

This recipe is made using my favorite - Fisher Pecan Halves. They are a ingredient I always have on hand since they are nutritious and super versatile.

I know we may often think of them for snacking, adding to a bowl of oatmeal, tossing in a side salad or throwing into a dessert but they also make delicious savory dinner recipes as well. This chicken is proof of that!

The buttery flavor and crunchy texture of the pecans works wonders here!

A simple dish made with everyday ingredients that packs a whole lot of satisfying flavor!
