Pumpkin/Fall Inspired Treats

Fall is here and that puts me in a treat making/eating kind of headspace, and I thought it'd be fun to share treats in a non guilt filled/shaming manner. I'm a big pumpkin lover, so I went looking for the Pumpkin Cheesecake Cream filled sandwich cookies I was told about yesterday but found my target didn't carry them (whomp whomp) but I bought the Pepperidge farm dessert cookies instead and they were delicious. Soft, just a little chewy, and with a nice smooth pumpkin flavor touched with cinnamon. The cheesecake chunks were a nice little burst of extra sweetness every time I got one.

I also got the carrot cake cookies, not nearly as good as the pumpkin but the cream cheese chips inside were amazing.

And finally I'm going to be trying to make yam cookies and fill them with cream cheese filling (Cause I have yams and cream cheese on hand) since I was denied pumpkin sandwich cookies last night. I'll probably have pictures in an hour or two. I'm hoping they turn out like these pictures but uh...well. Time will tell.

So if you have a treat you've bought or made or intend to make or want to buy (and it doesn't make you feel bad about yourself) share.

    How did I not know that pumpkin cheesecake cookies existed?! I'm going to need to spend some quality time in the cookie aisle now that it's pumpkin season...

    Also, pumpkin bread stuffing is amazing:

    May not compete with the PF Cookies but... I made a protein shake today with vanilla protein, almond milk, pumpkin, cinnamon and nutmeg. It was pretty darn good!

    I made these over the weekend:
    http://www.canyoustayfordinner.com/2010/11/18/individual-pumpkin-spice-cheesecakes-with-cinnamon-whipped-cream/

    The coworkers said they were very good - I don't like cheesecake (cream cheese, bleck) so I didn't try them.


    I want to make chocolate gingerbread cake again this fall.

    I also made whole wheat pear muffins two weekends ago - I'll make again with apples soon.
    Plus I found a recipe for apple scones I want to try.


    I love fall and apple things. Mmmm apple cider!

    Nice!
    I'm currently halfway through this. It could use more pumpkin flavor for sure.

    Yeah, the shocktop pumpkin was a complete fail. I need to head to the store and see what (beer) goodies we have available. Oh, and:

    I made this last year messing around in the kitchen, a play on pumpkin cheesecake

    Pumpkin and sage belgian waffles with cream cheese stuffed and graham cracker crusted chicken and a maple and chile reduction

    Are you kidding me? I wish I could erase reading this from my mind, I LOVE anything pumpkin, I dream about pumpkin. I've been avoiding cookie and candy isle as much as possible with Halloween coming up but I will workout harder this week to try these! The pictures are so cruel :)

    I want to make chocolate gingerbread cake again this fall.
    I love, love gingerbread but I can't see it with chocolate.

    I made pumpkin chocolate chip muffins for my nephews the other day. I make them about twice every fall. They are so yummy.
