Fall Recipes

Tomato Basil Soup & Grilled Cheese

Hi everybody! I stumbled upon this fabulous recipe the other day and tested it out on my husband...he ate three grilled cheese sandwiches with his soup. He wanted four but decided last minute he was just too full, haha! It's one of those things, it's so yummy you just can't stop! This recipe is beyond easy and lightning fast. I didn't think it would be as good for that reason, but was pleasantly surprised when it turned out to be "the best grilled cheese I've ever had, honey!" and the soup was delicious as well ;) This would be a great recipe for a chili fall day, a snowed in type day or a fast "home-y" meal for an under the weather loved one. It's wonderful for any time really! We are going to have it again for dinner tonight, it's just too delicious I had to share. I hope you all love it as much as we did, I know you will! Plug in this link for the recipe, enjoy friends!

Yummy Treats!

In honor of my absolute favorite time of year, I just had to share this recipe I found for pumpkin spiced crispy treats! Yum! I've had this treat on my "I gotta try this fast-to do" list! After eyeballing it for the last week or so, I finally made the trip to the grocery store to buy what I needed for this fun recipe. I just made my first batch and it's delicious! And the best part is, it took me about 5 minutes ;D This makes for a great snack/dessert and I invite you try some for yourself!

Pumpkin Spiced Krispy Treats
1/4 cup of salted butter
1 (10.5) bag of mini marshmallows
1 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice
6 cups of Rice Krispies (one regular sized box of Rice Krispy cereal)

That's it!

On med/low heat, melt your butter. Once it's melted continue to cook until golden brown (be careful not to burn, once it begins to brown it can burn easily). Next, add the bag of 'mallows (like they'd say in the Sandlot, haha!) and the pumpkin spice. Stir it up until the marshmallows have melted. Once they've melted, remove from heat and stir in the krispies. Once it is all stirred together, put in 9x9 pan. Last but not least, spray a piece of wax paper with non-stick spray and use that to gently press down krispies into place. Wait 30 min before cutting into squares. Viola! At this point you can just dig in, as my husband and I plan to do, or if you have a decorating bone, you could take it a step further and get "fall" cookie cutters. For example, pumpkins, or leaves, and really get creative with your treats. Ice your squares how you want with different colors and sprinkles, the options are limitless.

Have fun and enjoy. Happy fall everybody!
