I was in the mood for something sweet with pumpkin and butterscotch and I came up with these cookies. My husband and kids love them! These cookies are extra moist and following the recipe should give it a more cakey than crisp texture. If you are looking for a crispy oatmeal cookie, this is not it!

Petra's Strawberry Shortcake
Petra's strawberry shortcake recipe makes a wonderfully tasty and tender shortcake. As a teenager growing up in Germany, I made Biskuitteig — a light sponge cake — nearly every week. I was never a fan of using Bisquick for shortcake and always preferred the soft, spongy texture of Biskuitteig. So, I adapted an old German recipe and created this delicious version. It's also great with other fruit toppings!
Instant Pot Cajun Boiled Peanuts
I love boiled peanuts, but in the past, they've been a hassle to make. You have to soak them in water overnight, and then you have to wait for the giant pot of water to boil; the water evaporates, so you have to add more water every hour, and then every time you do that, you have to wait for the water to start boiling again. I knew there had to be a way to simplify the process, and this Instant Pot Cajun boiled peanuts recipe was the solution. While it still takes time, the method is hands-off, and they cook more quickly than the 8 hours it takes to soak them overnight using the stovetop method.
Korean Banana Milk
I have had a hard time finding Korean Banana Milk so I decided to make my own. This turned out delicious and so much less expensive.
