Can you really ever have too many pumpkin recipes? With fall nearing the corner, I definitely don't think so. Especially when it's an inviting yet simple breakfast like this.

This rich pumpkin French toast is near effortless but yields delicious payoff. It's the ideal dish for Thanksgiving morning, Christmas morning, or simply any autumn or winter weekend brunch.

Not only will everyone love its scrumptious fall infused flavor but also the sweet pumpkin spice aroma that fills your kitchen. Both young and old alike will enjoy each and every bite.

Pair pumpkin French toast with a cup of hot coffee or warm apple cider and slices of crispy bacon for the ultimate trio. A mouthwatering morning treat!

This chicken and apple skillet recipe is an ideal dinner to welcome the season.

In this delicious fall dish tender chicken thighs are seasoned and browned in a hot cast iron skillet, then thin apple slices are sautéed in rich butter, and for more apple flavor they are drenched in a reduced pan sauce of fruity apple juice, bright spices and fresh herbs.

To finish it's all layered together for the ultimate cozy chicken dinner. The apple + chicken combination was a duo meant to be. Apples aren't just for snacking and desserts anymore.

Yes that's right a crockpot chicken tikka masala that doesn't require any browning meat, sautéing aromatics, or the extra step of pureeing sauce. Everything is simply added right into a slow cooker, tossed together, cooked through, then finished off with a fair amount of cream.

It is the simplest way to cook this savory Indian-British dish and the final result is a full flavored, perfectly impressive curry style dinner. Who doesn't love a dinner recipe that takes minimal effort but yields maximum flavor!

This near effortless dish simmers low and slow allowing all the flavors to meld and soak into the chicken, and its generous allotment of cooking time allows for all those spices to marry together in a overall unified flavor.

The key to a good slow cooker curry style dish like this is just to use plenty of spices, fresh aromatics (garlic, ginger and onion), and never forget the cream (it compliments the tomato beautifully). Serve it with basmati rice cooked in a rice cooker for continued ease, and pair with a side of steamed peas or green beans to include a veggie.

An oatmeal cream pie (also spelled oatmeal "creme" pies) are an old fashioned cookie that's been around for decades and for good reason. We know of the iconic Little Debbie version (I ate far too many as a kid) but now I much prefer them without all the self stabilizing additives, artificial flavors and added color. And of course made with fresh butter instead of various oils is better.

These homemade oatmeal cream pies are a family favorite which makes sense because they are basically an upgraded oatmeal cookie with a frosting filling. They are easy to make and the flavors never disappoint!

With each cookie you get a welcome blend of chewy textures, crisp golden brown edges a soft center (as it should be), with oat-y flavors and highlights warm winter spices and hints of deep molasses. Then for the filling it's a buttery, creamy, frosting type filling, with its sweetness balanced by a small addition of cream cheese (I preferred this option to using cream with the butter and sugar when taste testing).

It's a memorable treat that will always satisfy those homemade cookie cravings. Enjoy them together with family or friends, and serve them with a chilled glass of milk, or warm apple cider during the colder months.

Homemade pumpkin waffles are a seasonal staple. They are so good in fact you may find yourself turning to them year round!

They're crisp on the outside while fluffy, moist and tender on the inside. Exactly as a waffle should be.

They are made with smooth pumpkin, warm spices, flavorful buttermilk, a fair amount of eggs for billowy fluff, and oil for richness. They make an excellent lazy weekend morning treat, and they are even worthy of a festive holiday breakfast spread.

So much to savor in these delectable, pumpkin infused waffles!

If you love traditional pumpkin cookies and cinnamon spiced snickerdoodles then these pumpkin snickerdoodles are must try cookie for you! It's a seasonal spin on a classic.

They have just enough pumpkin to have a noticeable flavor while keeping the texture soft but not overly cakey. The butter lends rich moisture, and the spice blend makes them exceptionally delicious.

Then the cream of tartar, which is a classic addition of to most snickerdoodles, adds a nice faint tang to the cookie to highlight them.

These cookies are simple to make and they'll seem to disappear right before your eyes. So much to love in every bite!

These mini pumpkin pies are an exciting modern day twist on a nostalgic holiday classic! They are baked in a standard size muffin pan instead of as a whole pie. They are easy to make, faster to bake, and they're a tasty treat for people of all ages.

Their flavor is pleasantly pumpkin-y, deliciously sweet, and swirled with seasonal spice. And they have the best blend of textures with a crisp, flakey crust and a velvety, rich custard pie filling.

They are easy to serve and completely fitting for parties. And aren't most desserts just more enjoyable and charming when served in a mini individual serving size? They even seem fancier too.

With their smaller size plan on two of these per person, or even three for a Thanksgiving or other holiday feast. And as always take those classic pumpkin pie flavors up a notch by serving them with a generous swirl of billowy sweetened whipped cream atop.

These pumpkin oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are made rich with butter, chewy with oats, decadent with chocolate chips, soft and flavorful with pumpkin and spices, and of course nicely sweet with two types of sugar.

They are a fun new take on a nostalgic childhood favorite. We know and love the traditional pumpkin chocolate chip cookie, but here we add some oat-y goodness for extra flavor and texture.

It's a tempting fall cookie that's easy to make, a fun treat for parties, and they're always sure to satisfy those seasonal pumpkin dessert cravings.

Make a batch this weekend then save the recipe for the holidays to impress your guests!

Tempting Oatmeal Cookies Cookies with Icing

These are a cookie people won't forget! Like Mother's Iced Oatmeal Cookies but a far better homemade version.

They have a deliciously oaty flavor, a tempting texture, a fair amount of those inviting warm spices, and the crisp icing that finish over the top that makes a crowning highlight.

The soft and chewy texture of these frosted oatmeal cookies comes from brown sugar and partially ground oats, it's key to these delectable, homestyle cookies.

These iced oatmeal cookies can be baked up more chewy or more crisp, whichever you prefer. If you'd like them to be more soft and chewy, then bake them near the lesser amount of time, and for a crispier cookie bake them for the greater amount of time.

Homemade Pumpkin Donuts

These pumpkin donuts are one of the tastiest baked donuts, you'll be craving them as soon as fall rolls around.

They don't require any extra rise time (since they aren't a yeasted donut) and no deep frying messiness here. Plus no mixer required here, just a quick blend by hand for this donut batter.

They are baked in the oven in donut pans (or try mini muffin pans if you don't have donut pans), then after that while they are warm they are rolled in sweet cinnamon sugar.

I like to serve them with hot cocoa, warm apple cider, coffee, or you can't go wrong with a tall glass of milk.

They are perfectly fitting for an after dinner dessert or they make an excellent weekend breakfast treat. And there are lots of different additions you can add like finishing with a chocolate glaze or adding chopped nuts (more ideas below).

Pumpkin desserts are a seasonal staple and donuts are one of the most popular sweets, so bring them together and you have a truly memorable, completely crave-able donut treat!
