Pumpkin Everything

Someone told me recently that every time they see a pumpkin they think of me. And that makes me VERY happy.

Tis' the season, my dears.



I just wanted to share two pumpkin-y recipes that fit perfectly together. If you like chocolate and you like cream cheese, then you have come to the right place.

Drum roll please...

Pumpkin Spice Cream Cheese
8 oz Organic cream cheese
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp Organic pure maple syrup
1/2 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1/2 cup of pumpkin puree

This recipe is totally adaptable. Use whatever you have on hand. Add a little and then taste test. If you feel the need to add more...by all means...GO FOR IT! Mix all ingredients together until equally distributed. I put mine in a glass mason jar and put in fridge. Should last at least two weeks, maybe even longer. Take some to a neighbor or friend. Share the Pumpkin Spice wealth.  As Macy would say, "Sharing is caring!"






And then you MUST put some of that yummy Pumpkin Spice cream cheese on a piece of this!!!

Chocolate Pumpkin Bread
This is the BEST! I have had huge success with this tasty treat. You could also slap a little bit of that homemade PB on a slice of this and you'll be my BFF 4 eva. It's THAT good. And what if you swap out the butter in this recipe for coconut oil? Heaven in yo mouth. I love using sprouted whole wheat in this, as well. I also just sprinkle a few chocolate chips on the top instead of using the 1 cup. And lastly, if you can't find dark cocoa, rest assured regular cocoa is just as yummy. The options here are limitless.

I want to hear what changes you made! I love trying new things!

Oh, you are in need of a pumpkin puree recipe to whip up these dishes, right? This one is top notch. Tested and Rebeka Does It approved.

Make Your Own Pumpkin Puree
The Pioneer Woman is awesome. And making pumpkin puree is easy peasy.

Happy Friday!
