Pumpkin Recipes

Ten plus recipes made with pumpkin, canned, or fresh.  I have included cakes, cinnamon rolls, muffins, soups, and a recipe for the most delicious Honey Pumpkin Cornbread. Are you a fan of pumpkin recipes?  I can't wait for Pumpkin season.  It seems to come earlier and earlier every year. Even though some of the pumpkin products may be marketing ploys some people seem to welcome it back every year. Part of the hoopla is the warmth the fall season brings, mugs of apple cider and pumpkin bread, playing in the leaves, and wrapping up in cozy blankets.

Daddy's Lemon Icebox Pie {Granny's Recipe}

Lemon Icebox Pie , classic Southern dessert traditionally set in the refrigerator before serving and that is how it gets the name "icebox".  Perfect dessert to say goodbye to long and sweltering days of summer.

Crusty Breaded Pork Chops with Caramelized Purple Onions

Crusty Breaded Pork Chops have a wonderful home-cooked flavor like the ones my Mom used to make. The breading makes them crispy outside and tender and juicy inside. My husband has been so hungry for Crusty Breaded Pork Chops  that I took a recipe that I generally make liver and onions by and used it this time for the pork chops.

Buffalo Chicken Bites

Buffalo Chicken Bites , mixture of chicken, cream cheese, spicy hot sauce, ranch dressing mix, baked between crescent rolls sheets.  They are a cross between a slider and hot sandwich.

Banana Nut Bread {Granny's Recipe}

Banana Nut Bread, a classic straight from my Mother's kitchen, toasted pecans folded in a rich banana quick bread that is moist and perfectly sweet.   Now that my children are grown and married, I am the only one that eats bananas in the house.  I often buy too many bananas, and I can't eat all of them before they start turning brown.

Peking Pork Chops

Peking Pork Chops  tenderized pork medallions, coated in a Chinese marinade and then deep fried.  But that is not the end, just before serving them dip them in a thick tangy and sweet hoisin sauce mixture. One of the first restaurants my husband likes to go to after the holidays is our local Chinese restaurant.   Peking Pork Chops are the favorite, and now I make them at home.
