What screams fall more than Apple Pumpkin Bread? I can’t think of anything. I don’t know about you, but I’m looking forward to pumpkin and apple treats, cooler weather, and dusting off my favorite boots (and I have a lot of them to choose from). The leaves on the trees outside are starting to turn, the weather is getting cooler, (along with some random days if hot), so I think now is a great time to share some fall recipes.

Homemade Taco Seasoning

Homemade Taco Seasoning

Do you love tacos? Me, too. I mean, doesn’t everyone love some sort of version of tacos? Fish, chicken, beef, or a fun veg taco with mushrooms and bell peppers (I’ll share that recipe soon). Well, I have found that amazing tacos are the result of amazing seasoning. This taco seasoning recipe is my personal recipe and was honestly created serendipitously.

That’s right, it happened completely by accident! I was talking to my then 4 yr-old, MJ, and accidentally used paprika as the main ingredient instead of chili powder. At first, I was a bit frustrated and was like “Well, this is ruined”. but my husband Nate and I don’t like to waste, so we decided to try it anyway, cross our fingers, and hope for the best.

The blackberries are smaller and sweeter than store-bought ones. The post also includes tips for baking with kids and freezing blackberries for future use.

Recipe: Peppermint Brownie

This recipe is my holiday version in honor of my husband’s all-time favorite dessert, the brownie. Chunks of chocolate chips, with a fudgy rich texture that crumbles on the top and has that perfect amount of peppermint that throws you into holiday nostalgia. Peppermint hot chocolate by a cozy fire listening to Nat King Cole and watching the snow fall gently.

This peppermint brownie recipe is a little different, in that I use powdered sugar (instead of granulated sugar) to help make the brownies denser and hold their fudge-like texture together. Much like fudge, they are also decadent and rich, so I highly recommend cutting them into smaller squares much as you would fudge. trust me, your tummy will thank you.

Homemade Sloppy Joe

Homemade Sloppy Joe

A simple and just plain good homemade sloppy joe recipe that doesn’t take away from the ease of making dinner. Great make-ahead meal and perfect for your next picnic, bbq, or outdoor get-together.
For my Sloppy Joe recipe, I use my Everything BBQ Rub for the seasonings in my sauce. It adds sweetness and spice. The soy and Worcestershire sauces add amazing umami flavor and the pineapple is what gives it sweetness.

This recipe does use a lot of meat. Don’t worry, it’s a freezer-friendly meal! You can split this in half, eat one half and take the other half, let it get to room temp, and freeze it in a freezer-safe bag. -It will last 4 months in the freezer.

Everything BBQ Rub

This everything BBQ rub is perfect for beef, pork, lamb, chicken, and sloppy joes. I have used this on wings, beef and pork ribs, and even lamb ribs, and have found it to be incredibly universal and flavorful.

This makes a small batch of the bbq rub, to make quantity adjustments easier. If you double or even triple it, simply add the bbq rub to a mason jar, put the top on, and shake it up. You’ll always have it on hand.
