Pumpkin Cake Mix Cookies
I was so excited for Halloween this year. We live in a family friendly, mostly military neighborhood and I love decorating and passing out candy to all the trick or treaters! Then to top off our Halloween, our little “pumpkin” Ava was born on Oct 23, so she could celebrate with us! Unfortunately it was too cold to dress her up and take her out but I did paint an Ava pumpkin and put her in a pumpkin onesie! 
The week of Thanksgiving I baked lots of treats including Peanut Butter Pudding Cookies for the EOD guys at my husband’s work (recipe coming soon!) and these delicious (and super easy!) Chocolate Pumpkin Cake Cookies! They only have 4 ingredients and have the consistency of a moist whoopie pie. The best thing: they are bite size and delicious!
 
 Thanks to Dana for this great recipe!

Mommy’s Little Pumpkin!

I made this onesie for her with an iron on decal I found for 99 cents!
Check out her ghost hair clip!

Notes

(I doubled the recipe below)

Make sure you mix the batter well and incorporate all the dry cake mix
at the bottom of the bowl.

Using a small ice cream scoop or tablespoon scoop 16 small mounds on the baking sheet.

    I don't know how, but I've never had Pumpkin and Chocolate together in one dessert! I think I need to change that!

🍽 Yesterday we enjoyed lunch at NCAL+H2O, an upscale seafood gem of a restaurant in downtown Rolla. It was a delicious meal and everything this Florida girl has been craving! 
🐟 We started with an order of amazing Tuna Poke Nachos then shared a Grilled Shrimp Club sandwich with fries and a tasty salad with house garlic parm dressing. We couldn't stop there so we also split a bowl of cioppino, which was chock full of fresh seafood. Next time I want to try their Parmesan Halibut or Seafood Pasta! 
❤ If you are looking for a nice restaurant to celebrate an anniversary or have a quiet date night (or day date like us) check out @saltwaterrollamo ! 
⭐ Lunch was courtesy of @rolladowntown.  I was a winner of $100 in downtown dollars in their Tis the Season of Giving contest!

🥡 We tried @doordash for the first time during our stay in Branson tonight. It really saved us time and energy running around town and delivery was free! We ordered ramen, bi bim bap, and lo mein from a local Asian restaurant called Noodle 21. It was delish! Check them out if you are in the area and send me a message if you want a referral for $5 off to try #doordash ! @noodle21branson #eatlocal #branson #takeoutfood #whatsfordinner

It is pizza night and it’s @caseys to the rescue! After a busy week this tired Mama needed an easy dinner. Luckily Casey’s has tasty pizza to go and I ordered right on the app. Our fresh made Chicken Bacon Ranch Pizza was ready for store pickup in no time. Check out Casey’s new free curbside, available at most stores, and enjoy an easy and delicious Casey’s pizza night too! #sponsored #CaseysCurbside

Road trip time and #CaseysCurbside saved the day! We stopped at @caseys and stocked up on some supplies, including my favorite pretzels and juice from their new line of Casey’s favorites, before we were on our way. I love that I can order right on Caseys.com or via their app and pickup using their free and easy curbside. #sponsored

We drove out to Marshfield today and made a few Route 66 stops including the Missouri Welcome Center in Conway with it's Route 66 themed picnic area and downtown Marshfield with the murals and Hubble telescope replica.
