This cake is everything you love about fall desserts! This cake is moist, fluffy and so delicious.
Vanilla Cinnamon Glaze
When baking this cake the house smelled heavenly. The combination of cinnamon and pumpkin spice is my favorite one. Now that we live in New Hampshire we get to enjoy the seasons. Fall is my favorite so I’m enjoying it to the fullest. Part of experiencing the season is baking fall desserts and sharing with my friends and coworkers my creations. After all it’s all about being grateful and spread love, kindness and happiness.
These pumpkin spice cookies are soft, moist, flavorful and so delicious. They literally melt in your mouth. The cream cheese frosting compliments amazingly with the decadent flavor. They make the perfect fall dessert!
I made 2dz cookies and one skillet cookie using this recipe. If you are only making cookies, you’ll have 4dz. Feel free to divide the dough and freeze it for a later batch. For the skillet cookie I added ¼ cup of chocolate chips and use the same frosting for topping. This recipe is easy to make and require simple ingredients.
Skillet cookie I made using this recipe
This recipe is great for adults and also little ones. I have to admit that I’m kind of obsessed with these pumpkin cookies. They are great for any occasion. My first attempt making these cookies I was distracted speaking with my sister over the phone and I only put 2 cups of flour. They turned out flat and when I tried to pick them up with the spatula they were breaking into pieces. I recommend you that when you’re baking or cooking pay attention in order to avoid cooking disasters. If you like to add more spices, feel free to do it.
The cream cheese frosting make these cookies melt in your mouth.
When I baked these cookies for my coworkers, I added more cinnamon and it was delicious. They are also great to pair with coffee or milk. My husband is not a fan of pumpkin and he loves this recipe. I hope you give it a try and let me know what you think. Fall brings me so much joy and happiness. It’s definitely my favorite season. Do you get inspired during the holidays? I can’t wait to celebrate! Especially because I will have my kids with me and that makes me so happy.

Nothing better that pasta when you are craving comfort food during a rainy day during fall. This Butternut Squash Pesto Pasta brings you all the autumn flavors you need to brighten your day.
It’s not a secret that even though we love to cook from scratch sometimes we don’t have the time and we tend to eat outside. I’ve been there and done that, I’m guilty! So I made a plan for those busy days. I added to my grocery shopping cart healthy fun food to make my life easier.
I made this pasta using butternut squash pasta in the shape of pumpkins from Trader Joe’s and also used their Autumnal Harvest Pasta Sauce, their Kale Cashew Pesto, my favorite spices, cheese and veggies and let me tell you, it was delicious and ready in less that 40 minutes.
I know some people are really successful at prepping food but for me is really tedious and I don’t like the taste of the food after two days. So, I prepare myself with simple ingredients that are healthy and simple to cook. You can use any kind of pasta or sauce but I suggest you to try the autumn flavors.
This pasta is:
Comforting
Flavorful
Delicious
Easy to prepare
Healthy
Pack with nutrients
Can be made vegan or vegetarian
Great for lunch or dinner
