These pumpkin snickerdoodle cookies are so delicious and just perfect for fall! I love all things pumpkin and when I saw this recipe on Allrecipes I knew I had to try it. The middles are light and fluffy, almost cake-like and the edges are slightly crispy. They have a nice touch of pumpkin flavor that sets it apart from just regular snickerdoodle cookies. This is a recipe from Allrecipes.

Simple Spaghetti with Creamy Marinara Sauce
I just love this super easy and convenient spaghetti dinner. This is really quick and simple to make and my family loved the delicious creamy sauce. This was the first time that I had used the Pronto spaghetti by Barilla. What I find is so convenient about this product is that it is not necessary to boil the pasta in a separate pot. Everything cooks in one large skillet and there is no need to drain the pasta and that makes it super easy to clean up afterward. Plus I also liked that the spaghetti comes in a shorter length that makes it easy to fit in the pot and also makes it easier to eat!
Only a handful of ingredients are used to make this delicious easy meal: Spaghetti, marinara sauce, parmesan cheese, heavy cream and some fresh basil.
Just dump the spaghetti into a large skillet. Pour 3 cups of cold water over the spaghetti making sure the liquid covers the pasta. Turn the burner on high and set a timer for 10 minutes. Stir a few times while it is cooking.
After about 10 minutes all the liquid will be absorbed and it will look like this. Then just add the marinara sauce and cream until heated thru. Top with parmesan cheese and chopped basil and enjoy!

Raspberry Oatmeal Cookie Bars
These raspberry oatmeal cookie bars are very easy to make and so delicious! I have made these several times and they are always so good. They are also good with other flavors of jam too like strawberry and apricot but I prefer raspberry the best. These are so convenient to make with a short list of ingredients that are usually on hand and are easy to assemble. This is a recipe that I found on Allrecipes.com
Combine brown sugar, flour, baking soda, salt, and rolled oats. Cut in the butter using a fork or a pastry blender to form a crumbly mixture. Press 2 cups of the mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan.
Spread the jam
to within 1/4 inch of the edge.
Sprinkle the remaining crumb mixture
over the top, and lightly press it into the jam.
Bake for 35 to 40 minutes in preheated oven, or until lightly browned. Allow to cool before cutting into bars.
