New Favorite Pumpkin Pie Recipe

By

Unfortunately, I’ve discovered a new pumpkin pie recipe that my husband and I enjoy.
We love pie. I don’t enjoy the hassle of making or baking crusts, (nor using premade ones) so when I came across this ‘Betty Crocker – Impossibly Easy Pumpkin Pie’ I knew it was worth a try.

It’s firm and more savory and not very sweet. It bakes up beautifully… And it’s crustless!
I’ve made a couple of these tasty pies over the last month and they both disappeared in less than 24 hours. lol

Wishing you all a terrific rest of the holiday season.

 

 

Baked Donuts

By

The other night I decided to give my
new Wilton Donut cake pan a try.
I used a regular yellow box cake mix.We really enjoyed these.
We preferred them without frosting
and ate most of them that way.

Although the ones with frosting was a mighty sweet treat too.

It took 13 minutes for them to bake each time. Since I had only one pan it took over 2 hours to bake up all the batter.
As soon as I got near my pc, I ordered a couple more 6 cavity Wilton Donut pans to speed up the process next time.
I thought about getting some silicone pans, but I’ve never used them. I stuck with the trusted metal ones.

I’m curious, have you ever used silicone baking pans?
How did they do? Did you like them?

Here’s wishing you all a week of tasty treats and smiles.

Pumpkin CheeseCake

By

p1080062-0The stores have started placing shelves in the middle-isles with seasonal baking supplies. Generally, we don’t pay much attention, but the other day a Libby’s Pumpkin Cheesecake mix caught our eye. We decided that since we like pumpkin pie and we also like cheesecake that we may like this mix as well.p1080039We were wrong. Well, not wrong, just disappointed that it tasted too much like a regular old pumpkin pie with a small bit of a tangy taste of cream cheese.

We’re glad we tried it even though we had to throw 3/4 of it away. We won’t be buying it again.
From now on we’ll take our pumpkin pie straight up with maybe a hit of whip cream.

Have a great rest of the week!

Gelatin Pudding Squares

By

IMG_23502ab

Last night I made a recipe for Gelatin Pudding Squares by mixing 2 instant desserts: jolly rancher blue raspberry gelatin mix with jello cheesecake pudding mix . Today it was set firm enough that I cut in it to blocks  put them in a fancy glass.  It’s pretty and tasty.

*(I used the sugar free fat free jello cheesecake pudding because it’s what I had on hand, however, next time I make this dessert I’m going to use regular jello cheesecake pudding.)

IMG_2328Gelatin Pudding Squares
1 box flavored gelatin mix
1 box jello cheesecake pudding mix
1 1/4 cups cold milk
3/4 cup milk heated until hot

Pour hot milk into medium size mixing bowl.
Beating at slow speed add flavored gelatin powder.
Mix for 2 minutes.
Add the 1 1/4 cups of cold milk to the mix and continue beating while gradually adding in all of the cheesecake pudding powder.
Beat on medium for 2 minutes.
Pour into an 8 inch cake pan. Or a dish big enough to give a nice flat bottom when the mix sets firm.
Put into the refrigerator for several hours until firm or over night for a good solid set.
When ready to use, cut into squares, place in a dish, garnish and serve.

Wishing you all a sweet weekend!
Happy Cooking!
