If you traditionally make an old-fashioned pumpkin pie, you may want to give Libby’s New Fashioned Pumpkin Pie a try. What’s the difference? The cooking time is shortened by 10 minutes, and the recipe calls for sweetened condensed milk over granulated sugar. You may like the new version even better! | The View from Great Island

You’ll be the Thanksgiving VIP when you show up with a Pumpkin Roll. Make it with walnuts or without, but either way, this pumpkin cake rolled with cream cheese frosting is irresistible! | Amanda’s Cookin’

Want to create an attractive plate and fill bellies? Get inspired with these creative and Easy Snack Boards for kids, adults, parties, and holidays. These Charcuterie Board Ideas include cured meats, tasty cheeses, fresh fruits, crackers, candies and more! Get ready to dive in and enjoy!

Snack Boards Ideas

When the kids were in school, it was so easy to fill their lunch account and trust they were getting fed (enough). Now that we are in an endless year of virtual school, I have to work all the harder on getting their bellies full. Those bottomless pits!

What is a snack board?

A snack board is a less fancy way to describe a Charcuterie (pronounced “shahr-ku-tuh-ree”) board. It is the art of preparing and assembling cheeses and cured meats. With a snack board you can get creative and are not limited to cheeses and meats. Create snack boards for adults, kids, holidays or even small parties and gatherings.

Snack boards are a budget-friendly way to feed one person or a crowd. Get creative with pantry items or store bought foods to display on platter or board. It’s a very attractive way to style food. Use fresh and dried fruit, cheese crackers, hard and soft cheese, prepared meat, and then get creative with other fixings like candy, popcorn, cookies and more!

What do I need to make a snack board?

Snack boards are beautiful but can be intimidating to the eye. They almost look too pretty to eat and where do you get started. Many of these snack board ideas come with a list of exactly what you need to buy to make a board. You might be asking yourself how to make a snack board.

First, plan your menu. Make sure you have a list of salty, sweet, fresh, and cheese (just a few ideas.) Have glass bowls for smaller items (like popcorn, fruits or nuts) as well as dips. Use a small bowl as larger bowls can be overwhelming unless you only have one.

In addition to bowls, you will need a board. There are many types of boards. Rectangular, circle, square – all shapes and sizes. I really love wooden charcuterie boards – it is always nice when the board has a raised edging keep food from falling off the edge. A wooden cutting board is fine, but since you are using it for display, I would make sure it is in decent shape.

If you want continuous inspiration for how to make snack boards, take a look at these 50 Amazing Snack Boards for Any Occasion.

Fall Dinner Recipes

When fall arrives along with chilly weather and changing leaves, we tend to crave comfort food to fill our bellies. We’ve compiled a list of delicious fall dinner recipes to encourage you to get in the kitchen and experiment with all the wonderful flavors of autumn. You’ll find creamy or hearty soups, comforting main dishes, and delectable fall desserts. Many feature pumpkin, squash, apples, and the aromatic spices that fall is so known for. You’re going to find some winners to add to your monthly dinner rotation!

And when you’re entertaining guests (on Thanksgiving, for instance), get our Fall Simmer Pot Recipe going in the background. This homemade potpourri will make your house smell incredible, and we’ve included stovetop and Crock-Pot directions for your convenience. Let it cook as long as you’d like! Just keep adding water.

Soup Recipes

Are you looking for something fun to do with the kids? These Fish Marshmallow Pops are going to do the trick! As a mom of multiple little boys, I can say that we’re always looking for something fun and simple to do and these marshmallow candy pops on sticks are the solution to beloved cake pops.

Fish Marshmallow Pops

Not only is this recipe and craft fun to make, it’s also delicious to eat. My boys love picking up the little candy pieces and putting them into their mouths. I can’t blame them, I often do the same thing when I’m cooking. Tasting is part of making the recipe!

With many children, it’s important to find something we can all do together. Time in our home is precious! I don’t want to spend hours putting a craft together. Do you? Plus, it’s hard to keep the attention span of five children. I love that my older girls can help with this and the younger boys enjoy it too.

I feel as though this craft is great to do after you watch a good Disney movie too! Who would agree with me? “Under the Sea” refers to the movie the Little Mermaid. This movie has ALWAYS been one of my favorite movies! If you’re a Disney fan, I’m sure you’ll also love these Disney inspired Under the Sea Marshmallow Pops!

Taste wise, they are so delicious. Like, you think you’ll be able to only eat one, but you’ll eat many more. If you’re looking for something easy to make with your kiddos, make these! They’re easy, fun, and so delicious!

How to Make Marshmallow Pops

A few simple marshmallow directions…

First, carefully place sucker sticks into each marshmallow.

Melt the candy melts according to package directions. Place in a tall jar so it’ll be easier to dip.

Dip a marshmallow into the chocolate and tap off excess, roll the top into the nerds and place on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Let dry for a few minutes before you place the fish on or they will just slide off. Place 1 to 3 fish on each marshmallow.

Let dry and enjoy this fun treat!

How Long to Marshmallow Pops Last?

Well first, these will be eaten fast. So it’s a silly question. The shelf life of marshmallow pops depends on the best before date and how they are stored.

First, you can see how long it will take for your marshmallows to expire by reading the bag. Since you moistened them and dipped them in chocolate, the shelf life will go down a lot. I suggest storing in an air tight container and eating within the week (if they last that long before sticky fingers get to them.)
