Pumpkin Butter

Pumpkin butter has no dairy, it’s closer to a jam rather than a butter made with homemade or canned pumpkin puree, brown sugar, apple cider, cinnamon sticks and pumpkin spice. A little goes a long way when you want to add a little spiced sweetness to anything you’re eating. I love smearing some on my toast, or swirling it into my oatmeal and yogurt. A few more ways to serve it, have some on a slice of toasted Pumpkin Banana Bread or rolled in these pumpkin butter crepes.

I’m constantly trying to come up with new breakfast recipes to add to my weekly meal plans. Yogurt bowls are easy, and make the perfect blank canvas for anything you’re topping them with. Although I created this as a breakfast idea, this also makes a great snack or dessert. Apples, cinnamon and nutmeg are simmered with golden raisins and just a little sugar, served over yogurt topped with pecans or walnuts. A deliciously healthy fall treat.

Picadillo is a dish I grew up on and my friends loved eating over whenever my mom made it for dinner. It was probably one of the first recipes I ever learned how to cook and I make it at least once a month, although I usually make this stove-top version. Since so many of you are always asking me for slow cooker recipes, I adapted it and it worked out great.
