Tried it: NOT YET... but I reallllllllllllly want to. Originally found this one on Pinterest.
(gluten-free and sugar-free)
Ingredients:
1/4 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup plus 3 tbsp raisins
salt to taste (I used a little over 1/4 tsp, but I like salty pb cookies!)
2 tbsp roasted, unsalted peanuts (If you can only find salted, reduce or omit added salt)
1/8 tsp pure vanilla extract
Preparation:
Throw everything into your food processor (I used an Osterizer) and combine until very smooth. Roll into balls, cookies, bars, or simply eat shovel the dough into your mouth, straight from the machine. Dough can be stored on the counter, in the fridge, or in the freezer.

My thoughts: Delicious. This could be a main dish, but is great served as a hearty side as well.

Zuppa Toscana
Source: Mom's kitchen
Tried it: YES
My thoughts: Yum.
After trying (and loving) Olive Garden's Zuppa Toscana, Mom went home and figured out this recipe. I like spice, so I added a few traditional Italian sausage spices to the mix when I made this: paprika, garlic powder, crushed red pepper, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. I might even skip the sweet and use entirely hot Italian sausage next time.
(Others have tried to figure out this recipe as well. Click here for another "copycat" recipe from restaurant.food.com.)

Pumpkin Poke Cake
Source: Something Swanky Desserts & Designs
Recipe Link
Tried it: YES
My thoughts: The name of this dessert on the website is "Pumpkin Better than ... Cake." The name fits. This is easy and sinfully delicious. It has a very pumpkin-y flavor, and would be great for Thanksgiving or as a fall dessert.
Ingredients:
1 box yellow cake mix
1 - 14 to 28 oz can pumpkin puree*
1 tsp pumpkin pie spice
1 - 14 oz. can sweetened condensed milk
1 - 8 oz. tub cool whip
1/2 bag Heath Bits
Caramel Sundae Sauce
Preparation:
Mix together the cake mix, the pumpkin puree (DO NOT add the other ingredients on the cake mix box), and the pumpkin pie spice until a batter forms. Using the 14 oz. can of pumpkin puree will yield a thicker batter. Add more pumpkin if you'd like a thinner batter (which will yield a slightly fluffier cake).
Pour batter into a well greased 9x13 baking dish. Bake at 350ยบ according to the directions for a 9x13 cake on the cake mix box.
Let cool for about 10 minutes after baking. Using the bottom of a wooden spoon, poke holes all over the top of the cake.
Pour the sweetened condensed milk over the cake, filling the holes. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.
Spread the cool whip over top of cake. Sprinkle on the heath bits, and drizzle caramel over top (just to your liking). Refrigerate for 3-4 hours, or overnight (best).
