Hello everyone! I am back with another delicious fall recipe. It is another fantastic way to use pumpkin! I have to say, these quesadillas were amazing. I will probably make them again soon because they were ooey, gooey, cheesy, happy goodness.
Now, I grew up in Arizona. What this means is I grew up with a little something called a cheese crisp. If you aren't from Arizona, you probably don't know what a cheese crisp is, so let me explain it to you. A cheese crisp is a flour tortilla with shredded cheese on top. You pop that baby in the microwave until the cheese melts. Mmmmm, cheese crispy goodness. "Wait a minute! That is a quesadilla!" I know, I hear you. Here is the thing, in my mind, a quesadilla always requires something additional, beyond just cheese. Melted cheese atop a tortilla is a cheese crisp. You add some chicken and fold the tortilla over, you've got yourself a quesadilla. Maybe it doesn't make any sense to you, but that is the way it is. These pumpkin quesadillas are savory, delicious, and full of flavor! I am going to make one edit to this recipe card because I forgot to include one key ingredient: one can of Rotel. I used mild because quite honestly I am a wimp when it come to spice. You use whichever level of heat you prefer. You could even kick it up a notch with some chili powder or hot sauce if you'd like. Make this pumpkin quesadilla as spice or as not spice as you'd like. I can promise you, it is full of delicious flavor and you are going to devour them!

I wrote this post almost 2 years ago, just before my little granddaughter Sofia was born! Since the Autumnal Equinox is on Monday, I thought I would share it again for Fun Friday this week! There are lots of links that you can follow to past craft posts and past recipes. I will link to a few other ones below. I hope you enjoy the memories!
Hello from California! I am with Alicia waiting for her new baby girl to be born! Since today is the first day of Fall, we are all working together on our Friday Fave post for our favorite season. I know that some people feel like Fall is the favorite holiday of too many people, so they want to be different. Or, maybe they don't like pumpkin or pumpkin pie spice. But, around here at 3 Winks, we love the fall for so many reasons. So, today's Friday Fave question is perfect for us:
What is your favorite thing about Fall?
It was funny because when I asked my girls this question, Alicia and Lindsey each gave me an almost identical response. They both said that in the Fall there are a lot of things to celebrate and reasons to get together with family. We have an extra abundance of reasons to get together in our family because all 3 of my daughters and one of my daughters-in-law have birthdays in October. Then, there is Halloween, Veteran's Day and Thanksgiving. As Lindsey put it, Fall signifies the start of the holiday season! You bake yummy food and spend more time with family. In many places, not necessarily in Phoenix, the world changes color and the air is crisp and wonderful! You get to start wearing scarves and gloves.
I was surprised that the first thing that Lindsey mentioned wasn't pumpkins! If you read Renny's Recipes, you know of her love of all things pumpkin and pumpkin pie spice. It was heart warming to see that she and Alicia thought of family first! But, Lindsey did mention that in the Fall she can eat pumpkin things without being judged! Maddy also surprised me. I thought that she would mention Halloween first since she loves Halloween. That isn't surprising because her whole childhood she had Halloween themed birthday parties. But, actually the first thing she said that she loves about the season is making Fall crafts. You can see examples of her crafts here and here!
Here is what I love about Fall.
Don't forget to order your molds for Hot Cocoa Bombs here! They are on sale for a good price right now!
Because we love Fall so much, we decided to make a print to celebrate the season and share it with you, our readers! We collected all of the things that we love about the Fall and put them into one beautiful reminder created by Alicia! We hope that you love it!
Welcome Fall! Enjoy the season everyone! Click the photos below for more Fun Friday Ideas! (Or any day really!)

What to Read Wednesday is going to be a little bit different today because I want to recommend my favorite cookbooks. With fall fast approaching it always gets me excited to cook and try new recipes. But also to make my old favorites! That’s where my favorite recipe books come in. I think what makes these my favorites is the fact that I go to them first. You can always tell what the best recipes in the book are because they’re the pages with all the old drops of food and spills and the corners all bent.
For Classic Dishes
Need a good roll recipe? The perfect pancake? Meatloaf? Look no further than the classic Better Homes and Gardens Cookbook. You’ve probably seen it in many kitchens the red and white gingham cover is hard to miss. This book has been around for years. (Since the 1930's!) And is on its 17th or 18th edition. This is the cookbook I can rely on for a good recipe that will be a hit. My most used recipe from this book is the buttermilk pancake recipe. It’s always a hit and we will never go back to boxed mix.
Click on either of the pictures to order them through Amazon!
For Pie
Is it weird if I use our own recipe book often? Because I do. For The Love of Pie is the recipe book we put together to share our families love of pie and our favorite recipes. Recently I made a blackberry pie for a dinner. I used the recipe from For The Love of Pie. For a few weeks after the dinner our friends were telling everyone how good the pie was and asking if I could teach them how to make pie. And I can and you can to because For The Love of Pie is the perfect pie guide.
For Trying New Recipes
This one isn’t really a cookbook but a magazine subscription. For a long time I have been watching the Bon Appetit YouTube videos. They’re taking over the internet by storm! I finally gave in on Prime Day and bought a subscription to the magazine. I have only received 3 issues so far but I’ve already made delicious recipes from every issue. The best thing about Bon Appetit is they always keep the home chef in mind when creating their recipes making the recipes new but not difficult.
I do have lots more recipe books I love but these 3 are probably my most used. Aside from our family recipe book that my aunt curated for each family on my mom’s side. But we’ll probably have to do a special post about that later.
So what do you think? What are your favorite cookbooks? Will you be checking out any of these? Let us know in the comments below!

We are all about the fall harvest and preserving it lately! Last week I gave you my Corn Salsa recipe. This week I have been canning peaches, which I've already told you how to do on this post. But, of course, we have to eat some of those peaches right away and this Peach Crisp is one of the best ways to do that!
Because I was taking dessert to a family gathering on Sunday, I wanted to make my Peach Crisp dessert fit all of the dietary needs in our family, basically vegan and gluten-free. I thought it would be easy because I could use gluten-free flour to replace the regular wheat flour that I usually use. But, to my dismay I found out that I was out of gluten-free flour, so, I decided to substitute corn starch for the flour and it work out great. We always have vegan buttery spread around for Maddy, so that was a no brainer I thought. But, once again, the amount of buttery spread was down to dangerously low levels. I had to get creative again. I used the remaining vegan butter and then added the thick cream of coconut milk to fill it out. Once again, the results were awesome! That is how this Vegan Gluten-free Peach Crisp was born!
Two Steps
The prep work for this recipe happens in 2 steps. First, you peel and slice your peaches into a large pot. Then add the corn starch, sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and a dash of salt and cook them until they are thick and bubbly. Then, pour them into a 9 x 13 baking dish. Be sure to spray it first!
Next, create the crumbly topping to put over the top. I used regular oats because my SIL isn't so sensitive to gluten that any cross contamination from processing will bother him. But, otherwise, you should use gluten-free oats.
Here is the printable recipe!
*Oh Dear! Recipe update! Be sure to put a Tablespoon of Cinnamon and a teaspoon of nutmeg in the oat mixture!
There is something extra wonderful about warm peaches! I hope you enjoy this fantastic peach dessert!
