These pumpkin squares are a cakelike version of a pumpkin pie filling. Similar in flavor to a pumpkin pie but made without a crust, these squares are a sweet treat during the holidays or any time of the year. Top with cream cheese frosting or a sweet glaze for a little extra decadence.

Deep Fried Dill Pickles
Delicious dill pickles that are battered then fried. This recipe also works well with other pickled vegetables, like pickled peppers.
Peach Sangria
I love this homemade peach sangria recipe that my Grandfather taught me to make when I was a young wife. He learned to make when he was working in Mexico in his younger days. It's easy, but it takes time to cure between steps. We've had mango sangria, peach-mango sangria, or pear-pineapple sangria. You can garnish with blueberries, mint leaves, or fresh peach slices if you like.
Summer Vegetarian Chili
Throw summer's fresh vegetables into a pot and stew them up for an antioxidant-packed, Southwestern-flavored treat. Black beans also have fiber, folic acid and cholesterol-lowering activity.
