Pumpkin Pie Tassies #FillTheCookieJar

Pumpkin Pie Tassies bring big pumpkin pie flavor to little cookie bites. Soft crust and creamy filling make these a new fall favorite.

Pumpkin Pie Tassies

This month Fill The Cookie Jar is welcoming fall and thinking about pumpkin recipes to share with you.

Fall flavors make me feel all warm and snuggly inside. The smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger fill the air.

It’s time for warm apple cider and the season’s first hot chocolate. Apple pie, funnel cake spice cookies and pumpkin bread.

Break out the crock pot and make applesauce!

All that hearty food makes me think about taking little bites.

What better little bite of fall is there than these Pumpkin Pie Tassies? Cookie-sized pumpkin treats for kids of all ages.

I love a good skillet dinner that’s both easy and nutritious. Only dirtying one cook pot works for me.
Creamy pumpkin makes a perfect choice for a sauce thickener. You don’t need a lot to create a smooth, flavorful sauce. The pretty fall orange is an added bonus!
Pumpkin Sausage Skillet Dinner
I removed the chicken sausage from the casing and broke it into chunks. Chicken as a sausage is less greasy than pork so I added a bit of oil to get it started. If you’d rather use turkey or pork sausage, go for it! It’s all good!
Pumpkin Sausage Skillet Dinner
Pearl Couscous adds a bit of texture. I think rice would work just as well.

Pumpkin Polenta #PumpkinWeek

Pumpkin Polenta

Pumpkin Polenta brings a taste of fall to this popular side dish. Warm spices round out the flavor. Creamy polenta pairs well with any meat or alone as a main dish.

Pumpkin Polenta brings a taste of fall to this popular side dish. Creamy polenta pairs well with any meat or alone as a main dish.
I have to admit I’m not a big fan of fried polenta but I adore the creamy version. That’s probably a texture thing.
Mashed potatoes are my go to side. Only recently I tried polenta. Now I love adding flavors to it. Corn is the base and corn works with just about anything, so why not pumpkin? Why not, indeed! Ha!
Seriously though, pumpkin brings out the sweetness and makes the flavor pop! I can eat this as my main meal with a salad anytime.
Some people shy away from making polenta because you need to be hands on. By that I mean the pot needs to be stirred often to get that delicious creamy texture. No one likes gritty polenta.
Fortunately it’s not a big deal. The trick is to keep it cooking a bit off the heat. Pull the pot off the heat, make sure you scrape the bottom with your spoon or whisk to get the drier meal that sinks to the bottom incorporated. As it cooks, it gets lighter. Soon it only takes a few times and stirs just to keep it from sticking.
Viola! You have a smooth, creamy side dish your family will love. Add pumpkin puree and it’s fall all the way!
Pumpkin Polenta
Of course if you do like fried polenta, just let it cool and form it into a roll and refrigerate.
