Pumpkin pudding with a ginger cookie on the side 😊
Homemade pudding is still one of my favorite childhood desserts. I love to make my own pudding and experiment with different flavors. A perfect fall flavor is pumpkin. This pudding is creamy and has all of the pumpkin pie spices. Try this awesome recipe if you love pumpkin and pudding!

2 T cornstarch
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 egg

2/3 cup canned pumpkin
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp ground ginger
1 pinch ground cloves
1 pinch salt
1 tsp vanilla extract
Directions:
  • Whisk brown sugar and cornstarch in a medium pan.
  • Cook over medium heat.
  • Whisk milk and egg then gradually add to the above mixture.
  • Continue whisking the mixture until it boils, it'll take a few minutes.
  • Boil for 1 minute and keep whisking.
  • Remove from heat and whisk in the pumpkin, spices and vanilla.
  • Place pan on burner over low heat.
  • Whisk for another 2 minutes.
  • Pour the pudding into 6 saucers or ice cream dishes.
  • Place plastic wrap over the top of the pudding and refrigerate until cold.
  • Place a ginger cookie or two in the pudding or crumble them over the top if you like a little crunch.
  • Top it off with a dollop of whipped cream before serving!
  • Makes 6 servings.
Enjoy your awesome fall pumpkin pudding!

Love and peace,

Grandma's Bread Pudding and Caramel Sauce

I was trying to think of something for dessert last night and homemade bread pudding was my choice. Our Dad was not a dessert lover but bread pudding was one of his favorites. Our grandma made the best bread pudding, hope you like it! Ingredients : 5 cups slightly dried out bread, any kind. I used Italian bread.  1/4 cup raisins (optional) 2 cups milk 1/4 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 1 T vanilla 1/4 tsp nutmeg 1/2 tsp cinnamon Caramel Sauce Ingredients 1/2 cup butter 1/2 cup white sugar 1/2 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup heavy cream 1 tsp vanilla Directions : Cut the bread in cubes. I cut some of the crust off (on about half of the bread). Place bread into a greased casserole dish or an 11x9 inch pan.

Homemade Goulash

Last weekend I made meals for the freezer. It takes a few hours but this will save you time during the week (in case you have nights like I do when you don't feel like cooking) and your family will love it! I adapted this recipe from Paula Deen (it's called Bobby's Goulash). I used organic ingredients but use the products of your choice. I would have liked to use fresh tomatoes from the garden but my tomatoes weren't quite ready. You can also make it gluten-free by using gluten-free elbow macaroni. It's so tasty - my family loved it! Ingredients : 1 pound ground turkey 1 pound lean ground beef 1 -2 small onions, diced ( I used red onions) 1 (28 ounce) can tomato sauce 2 (15 ounce) cans diced tomatoes with juice 3 cups water 3 cloves garlic, minced 2 T Italian seasoning 3 bay leaves 3 T soy sauce or Worcestershire sauce 1 T seasoning salt course ground pepper to taste 2 cups elbow macaroni (uncooked) Putting it together: Brown meat and onions in a lar...

Homemade Liquid Dishwasher Soap

I decided a couple of weeks ago that I was going to start my mission to find a homemade liquid dishwasher soap. I really do prefer liquid soap over powdered soaps. Since I love the Simply Liquid Laundry Detergent (also on our Most Popular Posts) so much I knew there had to be a liquid dishwasher soap that we could make and that works. I found a recipe on http://choosingsimplicity.blogspot.com .and tried it. I read the reviews and as it happens with everything, some people had issues and some people loved it. It seems that part of the problem with homemade dishwasher soap is water type...do you have soft water, hard water, well-water....you know what I mean? And then there is the whole what to put in the rinse aid container? Lemon juice, vinegar, inexpensive rinse aid, expensive rinse aid...? SO what I'm trying to say is that there doesn't seem to be a perfect dishwasher soap. But I wanted to save money and I wanted a liquid soap, so I tried it anyway. I figured it would be ...
