Frozen Pumpkin Yogurt

Frozen Pumpkin Yogurt offers a cool treat to enjoy fall flavors. Smooth and extra thick thanks to triple thick Greek yogurt. Add a bit of warm spice like pumpkin spice to round out the flavor.

All week-long 11 bloggers will be sharing over 30 pumpkin-filled recipes for all your Autumn celebrations, including breakfasts, baked goods, savory pumpkin recipes, desserts, and drinks.
Just because temperatures are turning cooler, it doesn’t mean there is no room for a cold treat.
Freezing pumpkin yogurt adds a new dimention to this fall treat. I combined extra thick vanilla Greek yogurt with canned pumpkin, a little warm spices and a touch of maple syrup.

Freeze the mixture for a few hours to achieve a soft set that scoops easily. Transfer into individual cups and return to freezer to firmly set.
If yogurt freezes too firmly, place it in the refridgerator to thaw a bit until scoopable. Serve with petitas (roasted pumpkin seeds) if desired.

Malacasa Dinnerware Review

I received a set of Malacasa Dinnerware to review. I recived no further compensation. All opinions are my own.
I’ve found as a food blogger, food sport competitor and recipe developer, how the food looks is as important as how the food tastes. The old adage that we eat first with our eyes is so true.
That starts with the dinnerware.

review plates

Shape drew me to this Malacasa dinnerware collection. You can use individual entrée, soup, salad and dessert plates for a dinner party or casual meals. Holiday tables would benefit from a bit of elegance this selection can provide.

It helps that these dishes are microwave, oven, freezer and dishwasher safe.

Here’s a few plating examples:

Entrée portions fit nicely on these plates. The gentle curve keeps sauces in place.

Salads can be substitutes for a main meal, generous first course or side dish presentation. Slight depth of these plates serves multiple uses.

Any dessert would look elegant on these dessert plates.

Use these bowls for soup or cereal.

Spiced Orange Blondies

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #SpringSweetsWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to help in the creation of the #SpringSweetsWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone.

Spiced Orange Blondies

Spiced Orange Blondies blend sweet orange, ginger and white chocolate in a chewy, baked treat. One of dozens of sweet treats for #SpringSweetsWeek!

Special thanks go out to our sponsors for the samples and inspiration for #SpringSweetsWeek! For these blondies I used deliciously sweet cara cara and blood oranges from Melissa’s, crystalized ginger from Selefina spices, vanilla bean paste from Taylor & Colledge and the square cake pan from Anolon.

You can find the prizes we’re giving away HERE! Enter below!

Spiced Orange Blondies

Melted butter is a must to get chewy blondies. Softened and creamed in butter results in a texture more like cake.

I love using orange in baked goods. Oranges add a brightness and kind of make my mouth water!
Orange and ginger are perfect together. Adding vanilla draws out the flavor. Of course white chocolate add texture and a burst of swwetness. So good!

    In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter and sugars.
