🎃 Okay, this is one of those kitchen finds that is just TOO CUTE to pass up!

I’m loving this pumpkin-shaped enameled cast iron Dutch oven! 🤍🎃 It’s 5.5 quarts, so it’s a great size for soups, stews, braising, sourdough bread and all those cozy fall recipes.

And can we talk about how pretty this would look sitting on the stove all season?! 😍 It’s functional AND adds a little fall charm to your kitchen—which is exactly my kind of kitchen decor!

I found it on Amazon and wanted to share it with you because I know so many of you love cozy kitchen finds as much as I do. 🍂

🍎🍂 Homemade Boiled Cider (Apple Molasses)! 🍂🍎

How To Make Homemade Boiled Cider | aka Apple Molasses
https://youtu.be/mggTa_kNk-s

If you’ve never made boiled cider, you’re in for a treat! Made with just apple cider and a little time, it cooks down into a thick, intensely apple-flavored syrup that’s perfect for fall baking. ❤️

I love using it in pies, cakes, muffins, breads, oatmeal, glazes—and even drizzling a little over pancakes or ice cream!

It’s one of those old-fashioned recipes that makes your kitchen smell absolutely amazing and turns a simple fall staple into something really special. 🍁

And the best part? It’s incredibly easy and inexpensive to make!

🍎 Save this one for apple season—you’ll want a jar of this on hand all fall!

🍅 Let’s bring this one back!

If you’ve never made my End of Summer Pasta Sauce, here are some delicious ways to use it beyond a bowl of spaghetti! 🍝 It’s so versatile and a great way to sneak in some extra veggies. I’ve turned to it again and again…One of my pantry staples.

Think baked ziti, chicken and mozzarella skillet, meatballs, stuffed peppers, a great starter for hamburger soup—and so much more.

This is one of those canning recipes that keeps giving all year long. ❤️

Have you made this one yet? What’s your favorite way to use homemade pasta sauce?

🎥 Watch the video here and save it for later!

Friday night fun food!

Sweet, smoky, tangy, and loaded with flavor! 🍕🍍 This Hawaiian BBQ Chicken Pizza starts with my homemade sourdough pizza crust, then gets topped with homemade BBQ sauce, juicy chicken, mozzarella, red onion, crispy bacon, and sweet pineapple for the perfect bite.
The best part? Both my homemade sourdough pizza crust and small-batch BBQ sauce recipes are on my YouTube channel, so you can make the whole pizza from scratch!
Would you add pineapple to your BBQ chicken pizza? 🍍👇
