This post was originally posted in 2017. It has been updated with this adorable video of my daughter from when we made some today. These Pumpkin Snickerdoodles and the perfect fall cookie.
     Today, in 2025, this little girl is exactly 7 and 1/2 years old!  Since I'm deciding what to do with all of the pumpkins that I'm growing, I ran across this adorable post and I am wondering how the time has flown!  I'm going to make some of these and remember back to this time in her sweet life.  I have to say that at 71/2, she is just as cute and sweet!

Do you know what I love about pumpkin? 

Everything. That's what. I know pumpkin spice is all the fall rage these days, and let me tell you something, I will take the blame for it. Way back in 2006 a few friends and I started a tradition of having a pumpkin party. It just so happened to perfectly align with my birthday, and I've had a pumpkin party every year for my birthday ever since.

If you want to know the truth, if it were up to me I'd put pumpkin in my food every day of the year. Since I have a husband who, while he does not object to pumpkin, does not adore pumpkin as I do  I behave myself every year and wait.

​Well guess what! IT IS ALMOST FALL AND I CAN DO WHAT I WANT! PUMPKIN EVERYTHING!

I decided to make you a pumpkin recipe this week and I really got into my head. Should it be sweet or savory? Basic or creative? What else could I do to show you the power of pumpkin? Well, my mom suggested I make my pumpkin snickerdoodles, and since I had volunteered to make cookies for a church function anyway it seemed like a win win.

I'll be honest, I originally found this recipe on Pinterest many years ago (we're talking pre-mission  somewhere around 2012). I can't recall where it originated from, and I am sorry for that, but it is really so delicious. These snickerdoodles are so soft and pumpkin-y and wonderful that if you find who originally created the recipe, tell me. Not only will I give them the credit they deserve here, but I'll find some way to give that person an award.

Fall baking is honestly where I feel in my zone. You see that cinnamon container? We have two of those. I think I have three different bottles of pumpkin spice as well. It might be four. Needless to say, I have a lot of great plans and how-to's for your fall baking, so make sure you come back and see what else I have in store for you. (For example, I realized I never showed you how to cook a pumpkin.) Until next time, enjoy these pumpkin snickerdoodles. If they're not the best snickerdoodle you've ever had, well, honestly I'll think you're confused.

Fall Silicone Mold
    A week or so ago, I shared my experience, (and recipe), for Pumpkin Dinner Rolls and my attempt to make them look like little pumpkins on this post. I mentioned to you that buying a mold might me the easiest way to get the shape.  So, I went ahead and bought the mold and gave it a try!

Tamale Pie
     There goes another Halloween!  I hope yours was terrific!  We didn't get a lot of trick or treaters on the big night, but on the Saturday before, we went to a party at the church with some of our kids and grandkids.  It was a lot of fun!
      There is always a chili dinner at that yearly party, and my son made some terrific homemade chili and some really tasty cornbread muffins to share.  These muffins were really flavorful, and because my son made them, they even had bacon in them!  He made a huge double batch, so there were quite a few left afterwards that we came home with.  For some reason, all of the leftovers were left at my house for my husband and I to eat.  Just the two of us...So, being the way that I am, I couldn't allow these great muffins to go to waste and I decided that a tamale pie sounded like just the thing to make to use them up!

Things I am Loving now for fall
    It doesn't feel much like Fall in Phoenix right now, but I am trying to live like it is Fall anyway.  Even though we have been having a heat wave, I've still been canning and doing fall like things. So, I thought I'd share with you a few things that I am loving right now, and have the girls chime in as well!
