pumpkin recipes to try at home

pumpkin season is here! this is my favorite seasonal treat. i really can't get enough of pumpkin flavor this time of year. i love trying new pumpkin recipes and lighting pumpkin scented candles all season long. 

i wanted to share some recipes that i made thanks to these lovely ladies. both are super easy and very tasty. 

*i will say that the first time i made the pumpkin quesadilla's i followed this recipe and i found that the pumpkin flavor was a little overwhelming and the tortilla was very thick and hard to eat. so the second time around i made these adjustments:

::instead of using straight pumpkin puree i put the pumpkin cream cheese spread on the middle of the tortilla and spread it around evenly. (and only on one tortilla and not both like she suggests).

::i didn't use any olive oil, just a dry skillet

::i didn't use brown sugar because the pumpkin cream cheese was sweet in itself

::i used mozzarella cheese and green onions for the filling

i have to say with these small changes the flavor was better and the tortilla was easier to handle. 

so try it for yourself and enjoy pumpkin season!

p.s. i also want to try this pumpkin pie recipe for Thanksgiving!
