Pumpkin Recipes

I found some amazing pumpkin recipes this fall. Here are the ones I made:

1. Pumpkin Pie Truffles from Six Sisters' Stuff Blog

2. Gingerbread Oreo Cookie Truffles from Inside BruCrew Life blog

3. Pumpkin Pie French Toast from Closet Cooking blog

(I adapted the recipe by replacing the ginger, cloves and nutmeg with a tsp of pumpkin spice.)

4. Pumpkin Spice Cookie Mix from my November Foodie Penpal

5. Pumpkin Pie Dip from Philadelphia Cream Cheese
(I adapted the recipe by replacing the cinnamon and nutmeg with a 1/2 tsp of pumpkin spice.)

6. Pumpkin Bundt Cake
