Monthly Roundup ⭐️ The Best of November


What went on in November

Hello again Reader,

The first big holiday came and went, and now it's the final stretch towards the magic one, Christmas!

Are you planning, baking and freezing cookies, freaking out from the tasks ahead? All of the above? I hear you.

Today, I'm sharing a roundup of this month. There are several new recipes and updated old ones, as well as what's being most saved to Pinterest and what the team and I baked, as usual.

Whatever season it is where you are, let's recap what went on this month.

Most popular recipe

Beautiful and easy pumpkin pie! The filling doesn't have evaporated or condensed milk.

One reader said: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ This is the perfect pumpkin pie recipe! Thank you Paula for bringing pumpkin pie to our regular holiday traditions. This recipe made fans of us all (and none of us were fond of pumpkin pie before this).

Runners-up:

These easy roasted pumpkin wedges!

Super simple chocolate nut clusters. A first in the top 3!

New recipes

Baked donuts with warm flavors! 🍏

A twist on a classic: apple pie with cranberries!

This stunning bread appetizer is quite simple to make.

Quick and easy dump cake with festive flavors.

Spiced, crunchy and easy almond snack.

Another way of serving classic tiramisu for the holidays.

My latest side dish favorite is an escalated pot of beans.

Make an apple crisp, but make it creamier.

We regularly tweak and update old recipes with new images, tips and readers' questions.

What the team and I made

I made this pear dessert for family Sundays at my dad's house.

A large batch of these very easy chocolate cookies, to take to a friend's party.

I retested these oatmeal cookies with chocolate chunks, and I like them better than with chips. More melted chocolate 😉

My VA made this unique lime pie, and these muffins her kids love.
