I got this recipe off of a friend's blog. It's a fallish (don't think that's a word...) recipe I tried around Thanksgiving and think I will start a tradition of it. But personally, I would eat it anytime of year. Our family really loves pumpkin.
Pumpkin Bread Pudding
1 1/4 c. sugar
1 c. milk
3 beaten eggs
1 can pumpkin puree (15 oz.)
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/4 tsp. cloves
5 c. bread cubes (whole wheat is fine)
1/2 c. broken pecans (opt.)*
Stir together the first 7 ingredients. Add pecans and bread and let soak. Pour into buttered baking dish
(9 x 13); cover and refrigerate overnight. Take out about 45 minutes before baking, and bake at 350 for 45 minutes, or until firm but not dry. Spoon into bowls and serve with whipped cream and pecans.

This recipe is from one of my best friends, Alyson. She's a hearty cook who has some signature dishes that are so good. Maybe one day she'll try one of my crazy ethnic recipes :) This girl is an amazing friend and I'm forever grateful we crossed paths - we've truly done life together.... without further ado here's her easy and yummy potato soup recipe:
3 cups of chicken broth
2lb bag of hash browns *I just use real potatoes chunked up instead because I prefer not to use premade stuff*
4 oz. of cream cheese
1 1/2 tsp of salt
3/4 tsp of pepper
Put all these ingredients in the crockpot on high for 4 hours. After the 4 hours, mash up some of the potatoes in the crockpot and keep some whole.
Add the following to the crockpot , stir up and leave on high for about another hour.
3 cups of milk
3 cups of cheese
5 strips of bacon - cooked and cut into tiny pieces. *rarely use this and it's still great*
