From caramel apples to pumpkin spice, peppermint, and cinnamon, these recipes bring a fresh scoop of autumn right to you.

Fall Ice Cream flavors

These are hands-down the best fall ice cream flavors. We’re talking about sweet maple syrup, nutty pecans and walnuts, apple crisps, and all the other things I can’t get enough of, at this time of year. These fall flavored ice cream recipes deliver.

Maple Nut Ice Cream

This rich, homemade maple ice cream requires just four ingredients! Pure maple syrup gives this ice cream a smooth natural flavor with hints of caramel and vanilla.

Luscious vanilla ice cream is loaded until it’s positively bursting with bits of cinnamon and baked apples in this apple crisp ice cream with a crunchy streusel topping. Sounds pretty amazing, doesn’t it? 

A 4-ingredient homemade popcorn seasoning recipe that will take the flavor of late-night snacking to the next level!

My family loves popcorn! A few years ago our friends told us that on days they don’t want to cook dinner they make protein shakes and popcorn, and we hopped right on that train! We usually stick to buttered popcorn or rosemary popcorn when it’s for dinner, but when it’s movie night our other favorites include marshmallow popcorn (Cade’s favorite), kettle corn (Carrian’s favorite) and caramel corn (the kids’ favorite!)

Caramel Popcorn Seasoning is a sweet popcorn seasoning that is easy to make and adds a delicious flavor to your homemade popcorn.  

Learning how to make flavored popcorn seasoning is super simple and it makes the perfect gift for neighbors around the holidays! Make popcorn at home today and try out my mom’s perfect caramel popcorn seasoning!

Ingredients for Homemade Caramel Popcorn Seasoning

Salt: Balances all the sugars, enhances flavor, and keeps the seasoning from being one-note sweet. It also makes the popcorn taste more snackable.

Powdered Sugar: Provides a very fine, quick-dissolving sweetness that clings easily to the popcorn. Its texture helps coat evenly without making the popcorn soggy.

Turbinado Sugar: Adds a light molasses flavor with larger crystals that give a bit of crunch. It brings a more complex sweetness than regular white sugar.

Light Brown Sugar: Contributes a deeper, caramel-like sweetness thanks to its higher molasses content. It gives warmth and a richer flavor that pairs really well with buttery popcorn.

1. Blend: Add the 4 ingredients to a blender or spice grinder and blend until mixed well.

This easy creamed corn recipe takes simple corn and turns it into a sweet, creamy, and irresistible side dish. Perfect alongside roast chicken, prime rib, or your favorite weeknight meals, it’s packed with flavor and ready in minutes.

With butter, cream, and just the right seasoning, this creamed corn recipe is a classic that your whole family will love.

If you think creamed corn is just okay, wait until you try my version. It’s buttery and full of flavor, almost like a corn chowder turned into a side dish. I thought it might be just “pretty good,” but it’s actually amazing.

One of my favorite things about this season is taking a moment to reflect on the birth, life, and resurrection of Christ. As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, I believe He came to Earth with a real purpose, lived perfectly, and made the ultimate sacrifice because of His love for each of us. This knowledge makes everyday moments, and even something as simple as sharing a meal, feel meaningful and full of joy.

Ingredients For Creamed Corn

Creamed corn is simple, comforting, and full of flavor, and it starts with a few key ingredients that make all the difference. Here’s what you’ll need to create this amazing side dish:

• Butter: For cooking and adding richness.
• Flour: Thickens the cream sauce for a silky texture.
• Cream Cheese: Adds extra creaminess.
• Heavy Cream: Makes the corn luscious and smooth.
• Sugar: Balances the natural sweetness of the corn.
• Salt: Season to taste.
• Parmesan Cheese: Optional, for a savory kick.
• Frozen Corn: The star of the dish! You could also use fresh corn, but I would advise against canned corn.
• Black Pepper: To taste.
• Bacon: Cooked and crumbled, for a salty, crunchy topping.

With these simple ingredients, you’re just a few steps away from dreamy corn that will steal the show at any meal. It’s easy and always a crowd-pleaser.

Variations

You can easily switch things up with this recipe. Try using whole milk instead of heavy cream in the milk mixture for a lighter version, though the sauce will be a bit thinner. For a little heat, add diced jalapenos or a pinch of cayenne pepper to give the creamed corn a spicy kick.

How to Make This Creamed Corn Recipe 

Making this creamed corn recipe is seriously satisfying. Follow these simple steps to get flavorful corn every time:

1. Melt: On the stove, add butter to a saucepan over medium-high heat until the butter melts.
2. Whisk: Add the flour and whisk for 20 seconds to create a roux. While whisking, add the cream cheese and stir until it clumps together.
3. Add Cream: Pour i

You know that moment when you’re halfway through winter and your body just starts begging for something fresh, bright, and alive? Yeah, that’s where this Winter Salad with cabbage and Brussels sprouts comes in.

Winter Salad

I fell for Ina Garten’s winter slaw years ago (because of course I did. She makes slaw an event!), but I’ve since tweaked it into something that fits me a little better: this salad is punchy, colorful, crisp, and just chaotic enough to feel alive while surrounded by snow.

I can’t stop making this.

What makes this winter salad so brilliant, is that it doesn’t pretend to be summer. It’s a celebration of what’s actually in season, cabbage, Brussels sprouts, and cranberries. The texture? Deliriously crunchy. The flavor? Sharp but balanced.

I figured I’d like this salad, but it turns out that I really, really LOVE this salad. I made it, tasted it, and proceeded to eat it for lunch alongside my infamous grilled cheese sandwich for the next 3 days. It’s so dang tasty.

What I love most about this recipe is that it lasts. You can make a giant bowl of it on Sunday and still be crunching happily on Wednesday. It actually gets better in the fridge because the flavors continue to develop.

It’s the salad equivalent of a long-term relationship. Yeah, it was great at the start. But, when you get to the point that you’re finishing each other’s sentences? That’s the drea

You know those desserts that disappear before you’ve even had a chance to sit down? Yep, these Chubby Hubby Peanut Butter Bars are one of those! They’ve got that sweet-salty magic combo — buttery graham cracker crumbs, melty peanut butter chips, a swirl of honeyed sweetness from the condensed milk — and somehow, they just work.

They’re rich, chewy, and totally addictive in the best way. Perfect for game night, movie night, or a “just because” treat when the sweet tooth hits!

Dessert Bars: A Coping Mechanism

We had been packing our rental home for weeks, a little every single day to try to be completely ready for our move into the home we’ve been renovating. I cannot even begin to express our exhaustion. It was just like building a home with the constraints of not having spaces designed the way you would have, secret issues under walls and floors and on top of it, running two businesses, kids and all while trying to pack up our entire house to move.

One random Thursday I felt emotional, exhausted and well, hungry. I’m apparently an emotional eater. A long time ago I’d seen a recipe and it was so short I’d memorized it: 1 box of crackers, 2 cans sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips of choice. So, on a whim I went peanut butter and cinnamon chips because they secretly go together like pb and j and the rest is history. Dessert born out of emotional instability, just the way I like it!
