Question of the Day:
What do you think of the crazy pumpkin obsession that seems to completely take over our society each year at the first sign of cooler weather?
I feel like this pumpkin obsession is a recent phenomenon. Prior to three or four years ago, did anyone go crazy over pumpkin? Perhaps the blogworld is to thank (or to blame?) for the new trend? All I know is that, as soon as September hits, every food blogger–myself included–begins flooding the internet with pumpkin recipes. If you are one of those people who’s tired of hearing about nothing but pumpkin recipes, you will be happy to know I’m moving away from the pumpkin desserts in favor of other flavors… at least for the rest of this year!



























Katie, what a wonderful resource this post is! It’s great to know that we can eat healthy sweet treats during the fall holidays. I really appreciate all the testing you’ve done to bring us the best healthy recipes! The pumpkin obsession is crazy, isn’t it? It’s exploded so much, but you won’t hear me complaining:)
So excited to see the pumpkin pie stuffed muffins link! Love it when my favorites sites are in sync ☺️And love these pumpkin recipes
Each one of these look better than the rest!! I’m proud to say that I have a lot of similar recipes in my repertoire (great minds think alike! lol!). I make homemade chocolates all the time (actually, I don’t think I ever buy chocolate). I’ve also made peanut butter cups…SO much better than the “real” thing!! You just reminded me that I have to try those truffles…they look AMAZING! Here are some of my personal faves (do you try out other people’s recipes, by the way?):

More pumpkin recipes! Just today, they’ve removed the big lot of pumpkins from the grocery store. I’m pretty sure as soon as we hit November, all stores are going to be filled with the Holiday stuffs now. But I’ve still got pumpkin at home, so I’m gonna make some of these. And yes, I do find that pumpkin has taken a whole lot of dimension during the past years. Have you seen the frankenfruit – frankenstein pumpkin head?
I love your recipes btw. 🙂 Happy Halloween!
Just popping in to say how much I love your site. I have made quite a few of your recipes and enjoyed them. The Black bean brownies and the chocolate chip mug cake have become family favorites. Your easy cashew cheesecake recently won the day at a party. Thank your for sharing with us.
As for pumpkin? Pie. Soup. That is all.
(Of course now seeing your stuff I May have to expand my repertoire 😉 )
Nope, I am not sick of pumpkin recipes but I think you have enough. I would love to see more bean dessert recipes from you though.
Just curious if you dressed up for Halloween? You posted photos in previous years but didn’t mention anything this year.
I made your cookie dough dip for Halloween and it went over really well.
i add a can of pumpkin to spaghetti sauce it make it extra creamy and adds another vegetable to boost the nutrition. Canned sauce or home made.
Bless you for this.
Hi Katie! I love love your recipes! I am gf and trying to be a healthy mom:):) I have used a bunch of your recipes for three different new moms as nursing snacks! They hit the spot as far as hormonal cravings as well as being protein packed and healthy! I am making 3 or 4 of your recipes for Thanksgiving meals and am asking for your book for a Christmas gift from my hubby. As a brand new mom who had to give up running due to hip injury I have been able to keep a healthy lifestyle and lose more than the baby weight in 9 months…a lot in relation to the healthy dessert options you gave me! Thanks so much for your creativity, humor, and inspiration!
