Pumpkin Custard Tart with Pecan Crust

Monday, October 6, 2025
When autumn rolls around, nothing says comfort dessert quite like pumpkin.

This Pumpkin Tart recipe combines a buttery spiced graham cracker crust with a silky pumpkin filling that’s sweetened with condensed milk and perfectly spiced.

Unlike traditional pumpkin pie, this tart is thinner, bakes quickly, and slices beautifully for serving at holiday gatherings.

Whether you’re hosting Thanksgiving, a fall dinner party, or just craving a cozy dessert with coffee, this pumpkin tart is the perfect make-ahead treat.

This tart also goes great with my pumpkin latte recipe down in the slow cooker.

Scroll down to the recipe, it's so easy and pretty to serve!

Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies

Sunday, October 5, 2025
This is a childhood cookie jar recipe Mom made when we were kids and remains one of the best memories not to mention the best oatmeal cookie we continue to make through the years.

These cookies are the perfect after-school treat, snack or lunch treat and all made from scratch.

It’s a simple classic recipe that you can enjoy in no time! A tried and true cookie that's been around since the 1950s.

It’s been passed down and loved for more than half a century, proving that it never goes out of style.

The wholesome oats give the cookies heartiness, while the balance of sugar and vegetable shortening creates the chewy-crispy magic everyone craves.

No preservatives, no complicated steps—just real, homemade goodness.
