Savory Pumpkin Cheddar Bites
This self proclaimed Jersey Girl took a recipe for Cheesy Pumpkin Biscuits, added extra garlic and fresh chives, and some more cheese to the recipe, and wound up with a delightful, new way to use Bisquick. There are a lot of pumpkin recipes out there right now, but this one has an extra autumn spice that makes it a perfect Halloween treat.

Pumpkin Pancakes
In addition to being delicious on its own, this recipe is fairly versatile. In addition to your Bisquick, pumpkin, and pumpkin pie spice, some kids might enjoy decorating their Pumpkin Pancakes with chocolate chips or whip cream. The only thing better than an easy, delicious treat is one that encourages creativity!
