Crunchy Thai Cucumber Salad

Another fun Asian cucumber salad. I had some leftover sweet thai chili which was perfect for this salad. Now the hubby is not a fan of peanuts in salads/entrees so I left them out. I think next time I will try macadamia or cashew nuts. Super easy to make though and a great little salad to have in the fridge.

Pineapple Cucumber Salad

So I've been thinking WAY outside of the box with our cucumber harvest. Last week, pineapples were $0.98 again. I was so excited to find this recipe. I don't think this one needed salt. Next time, I might change it up and add mint instead. The hubby wasn't really a fan, but then again, he's never really liked fruit in his veggie salads. Yay, more for me. lol

Cherry Gelatin Supreme

I found this recipe and decided to take a break from Pumpkin to test as a potential Christmas family dessert recipe. I was able to test it on a neighbor who gave me thumbs up. It's a simple dish ingredient wise, but has multiple chilling steps. It was also a weird size dish so i broke it up into (2) 8x8 disposable pans which worked out pretty well. Worth the effort.

Apple Butter Pumpkin Pie

Well, after this one, I'm never going to want plain old pumpkin pie. I used homemade apple butter from my last batch of canned apples (which were tart in variety) and boy did it add an awesome tang that regular pumpkin pie is missing. Yum!

Pumpkin-Oat Chocolate Chip Cookies

I've made this one in the past but this time I added dark chocolate chips. I also prefer old-fashioned oats so that you can really taste them as an oatmeal cookie. To me chocolate, oatmeal and pumpkin in a cookie is a favorite of mine.

Pumpkin Pie Crumb Bars

I have continued my quest to make pumpkin treats as often as I can. In the past week, I have made a few more. This one is by far my favorite for ease and deliciousness. I actually prefer it over pie because the "crust" is so much better. The hubby and I "gobbled" this one up quickly. :)

Cucumber Tomato Salad with Lemon Poppy Seed Dressing

With cucumbers and tomatoes pouring out of the garden, I am really having fun creating a new cucumber-based salad every other day. I enjoyed this one probably more than the hubby because I would rather have a sweet than savory sauce. It was refreshing and a great salad for summer.
