These 3 Ingredient Carrot Cake Mix Cookies are made in minutes with a box of cake mix and 2 pantry staples!

Hey y’all! Stephanie from Sustaining the Powers here again. I have a quick holiday treat go-to recipe to share with you today – Carrot Cake Mix Cookies. I don’t know about you, but in my family, Carrot Cake is eaten year round, not just at Easter. We especially love it around Halloween and Thanksgiving because of its mix of fall spices and its fun streaks of orange color from the carrots. Plus it’s a vegetable, so that makes these more “healthy” right? Breakfast cookies maybe?

The 12 Best Pumpkin Recipes for Fall

October 6, 2015 By Stephanie Powers 1 Comment

It’s Fall Y’all! Stephanie from Sustaining the Powers here again. The days are getting cooler and shorter, the leaves are beginning to change, and the pumpkin craze is fully in the air, so I wanted to bring you a round up of pumpkin recipes for you to enjoy with your families this Fall.

I don’t know about you, but I absolutely LOVE anything and everything pumpkin. Pumpkin pie, pumpkin cake, roasted pumpkin soup, pumpkin carving, pumpkin chunking, pumpkin patches, pumpkin spice, really, I’m probably down for anything you add to the word “pumpkin.” My Halloween board on Pinterest is at least 2/3 pumpkin and 1/3 The Walking Dead. (Any other Walking Dead fans out there?) That makes Fall my most favorite of the seasons. (plus I’m a food blogger, so all the best food holidays happen between now and January.)

Trips with me to the grocery store during this time of year involve me getting everything on our list and then I convince my hubby that we should stop by the baking aisle “just to see” what the sales are for the week. (Pro Tip: It’s always pumpkin.) Then I convince him that we’re going to need to stock up on more pumpkin for the rest of the seasons when it’s not available, plus “It’s on sale!” I say. Then I go home and stuff the canned pumpkin, pumpkin butter, pumpkin spice oreos, and candy corn pumpkins onto my already overflowing shelf of Fall ingredients, and I ration them carefully so I have some for the whole rest of the year. (I’m not kidding about this either. I just used my last pumpkin butter from last year in August.)

Hey y’all! Stephanie here again. I love a good late night snack recipe. Lately, I’ve been munching on apples and sharp cheddar cheese or a Strawberry Goat Cheese Toast when I’ve stayed up far too late editing photos or writing my next blog post. I was sorting some old emails the other day when I came across this Peanut Butter Yogurt Dip recipe I’d sent to myself a few years ago. I knew I just had to make it as my next late night snack and share it with y’all! [Read more…]
