Spiced Mexican Chocolate Cake Sugar Skulls
Celebrate Day of the Dead, or Día de Muertos, with fun and flavorful mini chocolate skull cakes. The rich, moist texture of the cakes is nicely complemented by undertones of vanilla, chili powder, coffee, and cinnamon. The best part? The decorating. Sugar Skulls are traditionally very colorful and whimsical—not scary! Use brightly colored buttercream or royal icing to decorate the sugar skulls
Pumpkin Dark Chocolate Chip Cookies
This easy-to-make recipe combines a delectable duo of flavors found in two of our favorite desserts: moist and chewy dark chocolate chip cookies and spice-infused pumpkin pie. A layer of powdered-sugar icing ties it all together with a satisfying extra note of sweetness. (When making cookies, a 2-tablespoon portion scoop is a baker’s best friend. It ensures uniformly sized cookies, while keeping your hands out of the batter.)

Jim Lahey’s No-knead Bread
We’ve long been a fan of Jim Lahey, founder of Sullivan Street Bakery in New York City. When he published his now-famous recipe for no-knead bread in a pot, he transformed the way home cooks all across the country think about baking. With just a cast iron Dutch oven, some flour, yeast, water, and salt, even the most novice baker can make bakery-quality bread right at home.
Pumpkin Pie With Spiced Whipped Cream
Dress up pumpkin pie this holiday season with spiced whipped cream. When you add a dollop to each slice, this classic dessert will gather the yums around the table and be immediately elevated to fan-favorite.
Cast Iron Peach Cobbler
Growing up, Erika Council and her family celebrated Juneteenth with homemade pies. This recipe is inspired by the biscuit-like crust of those strawberry hand pies and the famous peaches of her home state, Georgia. Just like the strawberry pies of her youth, this peach cobbler promises to be juicy and extra sweet!
Fruit and Spice English Muffins
Make the dough for these english muffins in the evening, then quickly toast them on your griddle in the morning for the perfect cozy breakfast. We like to serve them with a little fruity jelly or jam.
Roasted Garlic Loaf
Are you in the "never too much garlic" camp? Us too. When you break off a slice of this bread, you're greeted with a hunk or two of roasted garlic imbedded in the fluffy dough. Pairs well with pasta or as a standalone appetizer.
Gingerbread Cinnamon Rolls
Add a holiday twist to your traditional cinnamon rolls by making this spiced gingerbread version! Serve them straight from the cast iron skillet to keep the rolls warm for longer.
Strawberries & Cream Skillet Bread Pudding
Bread pudding is a classic dessert, but we’ve reinvented it for breakfast with fresh strawberries and maple syrup. Serve with dollop of Greek yogurt.
Homemade Apple Fritters
Soft homemade donut dough folded with apples and spices and fried in a cast iron skillet for a crispy exterior crust. This recipe comes to us from blogger Nick Evans. For more recipes like this one, head over to his website.
