Fall Pumpkin Recipes To Make Your Inner Fall Hostess Dreams Come True

Fall Pumpkin Recipes To Make Your Inner Fall Hostess Dreams Come True // A Hosting Home

This post has been updated and was originally published on October 11th, 2017.

It’s fall, y’all. You know what that means.

Nothing – it means absolutely nothing in the South. Well, except sweating in our sweaters while sporting our favorite sandals as we try to keep pumpkins and mums alive on the front porch in 80 to 90 degree heat. Who are we kidding? But, regardless of all that, fall is still my favorite part of the year. From college football to the approaching holidays, there’s just something about this time of year that brings people together around the table (or your living room coffee table!) to make the sweetest memories. Outfits and homes get cozier, the food takes on more of a comfort nature, and conversations over candlelight get longer. Chances are, you’re more likely to host people in your home this time of year.

I know I am. Whether I am hosting people in my home or gathering with my small group at church for bible study, I have a huge love for homemade goodies. There’s just something about arriving to a gathering with homemade goodies that makes you feel so loved. Like, this person actually took the time to make something for us all to enjoy. However, I know what you’re thinking. “Cathy, our lives are only getting busier. We don’t have the time to be in the kitchen trying to make something to ‘wow’ our friends. Can’t we just take the cookies out of the store package and put them on a plate?”

Actually, you could do the latter…

But, between you and me, they don’t always have to know how easy it was. 

I’m all about living simply and loving generously. My go-to fall recipe for things like this is just two ingredients. Two. It never fails to ‘wow’ my sweet friends, and I get to sit back and smile at how easy it actually was. Not to mention, it probably took me less time to make than running to the store for that package of cookies. That two ingredient recipe is summed up in just three words: Pumpkin Spice Muffins.

I’ve made these muffins for church friends, vendor friends, and probably every single member of my family. They’re even husband approved! I definitely suggest that you try this recipe at least once, even if you’re not a pumpkin spice fan. I’m definitely not. (Confession: I’m not a fan of the PSL!) But, I have an extreme love for these muffins. They’ve proven to be perfect when paired with coffee and conversation.

Pumpkin Spice Muffins

Ingredients:

  • 1 Box – Spice Cake Mix (I use Betty Crocker!)
  • 1 Can (15 oz.) – Pumpkin Puree (I use Libby’s!)

*I’ve seen people add dark chocolate chips or nuts too!

Instructions:

Like I said, all you need is a box of spice cake mix and a can of pumpkin puree. Like a man, ignore all the instructions on the cake mix box. Just combine the two ingredients together.  The batter is pretty thick when you’re trying to separate it into the muffin pan, but the end result is something heavenly. Bake at 400 F for about 18 minutes. Powdered sugar dusting is optional.

Grab your tea towel and a cute platter.  You’re set to impress!

I still need to install cabinet hardware, but I’m really loving how everything is coming together in our new house. I’m feeling so inspired with embracing new styles and I hope you are too following along!  #ahostinghome

Building raised garden beds and planting with a to Building raised garden beds and planting with a toddler who just wanted to  dig and bury tools and throw dirt everywhere was as about as chaotic as you could imagine. (Forget wood for a second, have you seen how expensive DIRT is this year?! 🤦🏼‍♀️) Rob built me raised beds at our old house after Layne passed away and learning to garden became such a labor of love for me. We really missed having a garden last summer after we sold our old house and moved into the rental, so we were so excited to get started and plan another set of raised beds for this year for the new house. It’s a start — and we can’t wait to expand this little garden area even more as we go. 💛🪴 Are you excited for your garden this year? What are you growing?! #ahostinghome

Can I just say that if you’ve been on the fence Can I just say that if you’ve been on the fence about a bold design decision… to just do it! After I shared the black living room wall, I had a few friends tell me they wanted to do the same in other spaces in their home and they chickened out. Especially when it comes to paint, I say just go for it! Paint is one of the easiest ways to completely transform the look and feel of your home. It’s only paint — and that’s the beauty of it! If you hate it you can always paint it back. So instead of asking what if you hate it, ask yourself what if you LOVE it?! 🖤👏🏼 #ahostinghome

About the only thing I managed to get done this we About the only thing I managed to get done this weekend with a sick toddler was the little gallery wall in our dining room. I found these wireless battery operated gold gallery lights on Amazon and they are AMAZING. Comes in 3 colors, under $35, and super easy to install. I love how it just added a little something and made it look more high end. 😍👏🏼 #ahostinghome

After all the rain, we finally got the wire backin After all the rain, we finally got the wire backing, our gates done, and the fence finished this week! 😍 We had a fencing company local to us do it, and they did an amazing job. We had a fence like this at our old house, and we loved how open it made our back yard feel while still keeping the dogs in. With the dogs, the fence was project priority No. 1 after we moved in — and I must say, I’m so glad I won’t have to embarrass myself chasing a puppy around the house with a toddler on my hip in my slippers anymore! 🤪 Are you team privacy fence or team 5 row fence? 🏡 #ahostinghome
