Shawn's Pumpkin Iced Cookies

This is a recipe that my good friend, Shawn, introduced to me. She made them this weekend and busted them out when all of us girls were hanging out at the hotel. My husband and I were in Atlanta for a wedding. These are YUMMY! And perfect for the fall weather. :)

1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsps ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp. ground cloves (I leave out)
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 cup butter, softened
1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 CUP(not the whole can) canned pumpkin puree
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla extract


(Glaze)
2 cups confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon melted butter
1 tsp. vanilla extract

2. In a medium bowl, cream together the 1/2 cup butter and white sugar. Add pumpkin, egg, and 1 tsp. vanilla to butter mixture, and beat until creamy. Mix in dry ingredients. Drop on cookie sheet by tablespoonfuls; flatten slightly.
3. Bake for 15-20 minutes. Cool cookies, then drizzle glaze with fork.
4. To make glaze: Combine confectioner's sugar, milk, 1 tablespoon melted butter, and 1 tsp. vanilla. Add milk as needed, to achieve drizzling consistency:-)

Pepper Penne by Ashley

Oh My!!  We had this tonight for dinner.  All of the boys ate it, including Gray who is 1 and Sam who usually only eats the bread for dinner.  I loved it and it was so easy!  Enjoy!!!   Ingredients:   1 package of penne pasta (I used whole grain) 1/2 t. rosemary 2 packages of sliced pepperoni , halved ( I used 1 package and it seemed to be plenty) 1/4 c. pepperocini (omit if too spicy for kids, but it wasn't really spicy with it.  I will probably use more than 1/4 next time) 1 jar roasted red bell pepper, drained and chopped 3 1/2 c. boiling water 1/2 c. whipping cream (I used milk) 1/2 c. grated Parmesan cheese   Directions:   In a large pot, layer pasta, rosemary, pepperoni, pepperocini, and roasted red pepper.   Add water and bring to a boil.   Reduce heat, cover, and let simmer until pasta is tender.   Add cream and cheese.  Toss to coat.

Simple Cole Slaw by Ashley

I love coleslaw, all different kinds, but I have never made it before. A girl that I don't know has a recipe blog that I go to often and I got this recipe from her. I loved that it said "simple". Simple I can do. *my Dad loves coleslaw as well, but is kind of a coleslaw snob and he really liked it. *i served it with homemade sloppy joes and tater tots :) Ingredients: 1/3 cup canola-based mayonnaise ( I am sure you can use any kind of mayo, but this is better for you.) 1 and 1/2 teaspoons sugar 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 1/4 teaspoon salt 1/4 teaspoon dry mustard 3 cups packaged cabbage and carrot coleslaw Directions: Combine mayo, sugar, pepper, salt, and dry mustard with a whisk. Add coleslaw and toss.
