Since we’re on a pumpkin spice kick, I want to share my other new recipe with you all. Again, I designed this recipe for my fur daughters, but it’s human friendly (and tasty) as well. With only 6 ingredients, it’s super easy too! So let’s get baking!

Puffy Pumpkin Cookies

I love creating new recipes for my entire family. One of my goals is to mak
them healthy, taste good, and use very little ingredients so they are easy to make
This recipe is no exception. You only need 6 ingredients and I’m willing to bet
you have most of them, if not all of them in your house. Like the other recipe,
this one calls for pureed pumpkin. I usually have this on hand for baking, but
make sure it’s just 100% pumpkin. (It’s better that way!) I’m ready to get started,
so let’s go!

Here’s What You’ll Need:

• ¾ cup Kind Granola (you can use any brand, but we are partial to Kind)
• ¾ cup Pureed Pumpkin
• ⅓ cup Brown Sugar
• ¼ cup Coconut or Olive Oil (This is amazing for skin and heart health too!
• 1 ½ cups of Flour

Preheat your oven to 400°. Mix the first five ingredients well. Then slowly mix in flour.

Once you have it all mixed well, grease your cookie sheet. Drop your dough by rounded

teaspoons onto the pan. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Let cool.

That’s all there is to it! Using teaspoon sized cookies, this recipe will yield about three dozen

tasty treats. Like I said, humans and fur babies will love them. But remember, because these

are all natural, there are no preservatives. Therefore you should store them in your fridge.

If you want to keep them more than a week, then freeze them. Just thaw when you’re ready to enjoy.

Pumpkin Spice Granola Bites

Fall is right around the corner. Since I just got my girls some pumpkin Spice Greenies, it got me thinking that I needed to create some autumn treats for them as well. This fall inspired granola recipe is easy, and best of all, since it’s made with all natural ingredients, it’s not just a dog treat. This recipe can double as human treats too.

Pumpkin Spice Granola Bites

Granola is super tasty and amazing for you as well. The oats are full of fiber, so they help lower cholesterol and can even prevent diabetes. The nuts and seeds in Granola are chock full of unsaturated fats which are good for your ticker too. It’s also good for your four legged family too! Which is why you’ll notice I incorporate it into almost all of our treat recipes. If you love all things pumpkin spice, then this recipe is for you! You can whip it up in no time, and your kids, as well as fur kids are going to love it! So let’s get started.

.First, preheat your oven to 375°. You’re going to toast your regular oats, and a few ingredients before you get into actually making the granola. Here’s what you’ll need.

Ingredients:

• 2 ½ cups Oats
• ¼ cup of Coconut Oil (Olive or Vegetable Oil will work too)
• 1 ½ tsp of Cinnamon

Mix these three ingredients together, then spread them out into a baking pan. In total you will bake these are 375° degrees for 25 minutes. However, have your phone handy to set a timer. Stir them around every ten minutes so they don’t burn. After the full twenty five minutes, remove them from the oven and turn it down to 300°.

While your oats are toasting, gather and combine the remaining ingredients in a bowl. You will need:

• 1 cup Kind Granola
• ⅓ cup Pureed Pumpkin (canned works great, but make sure it’s JUST pumpkin.)
• ⅓ cup Brown Sugar
• ¼ cup Honey

Pour your toasted oats into the mix, and stir well. Next grab your bar pan. I use my handy silicone pan that makes little square bites. Press the mixture in, and bake at 300 for 30 minutes. (You can bake these longer if you want them crunchier, but keep an eye on them as noone wants burnt granola.

If you’re using a bar pan, let them cool for about ten minutes, then cut them into bars. Don’t wait too long or you will have a huge mess of crumbs!

That’s it. How easy is that? With only 7 ingredients, you just created a yummy and healthy treat for your loved ones! These Pumpkin Spice Granola Bites taste amazing. My sister and I and my dogs love them, and I know your family will too.

Yields 3 dozen in my square treat pan

(Side Note: Since this recipe does call for sugar, only give your dog a treat or two ((depending on their size)) per day. You don’t want to give them too much, no matter how much they love them.)

Add Some Solar Flair to Your Garden

    Just because summer is coming to an end, doesn't mean your flower garden has to. And while you're adding some fall flowers, why not add some solar flair too?! Light up your autumn evenings with this adorable decorative light from Hannah's Cottage.

Add Some Solar Flair to Your Garden

    Cooler weather will be bearing down upon us soon. Our days will get shorter, but that doesn't mean we can't still enjoy our flower gardens. Annuals such as mums, dianthus (my personal favorite,) Aster, Sweet Alyssum (another of my favorite flowers,) and Pansies are wonderful flowers that bloom even in cooler weather.

    While you're enjoying these gorgeous blooms, you can also add some garden decorations. This decorative bird stake from Hannah's Cottage features a colorful bird. It will add whimsy to your garden. The bird also features a solar light in it's belly, so you can take delight in it even at night.

Beautiful Crackled Bulb and Sturdy Design

    The light in the bird's belly is a gorgeous blue, crackled bulb. It looks so pretty during the day, and even more gorgeous at night. The bird and the stake are made from sturdy iron, so you know they'll hold up to being outside.

Light Up the Night

    On the stake is a solar panel. It takes about six hours of sunlight to fully charge the light. Then you can enjoy about eight hours of whimsical light from your bird. Depending on the strength of the sun that is. (Of course on gloomy days it may not charge as much, but that's to be expected with solar power.)
