Curry Roasted Cauliflower

See!  I wasn’t kidding about the healthy stuff. I asked my trusty readers and Facebook fans yesterday what veggies were intimidating to them and I got some good answers: eggplant, jicama, mustard greens, fennel, celery root, parsnips and cauliflower.  Little did you know that I had eggplant, parsnips and cauliflower in my fridge already!  I’m […]

Sweet and Smoky Sweet Potato Fries

Fact: Healthy food can really taste good. Conflicting Fact: It’s hard to eat healthy when things like brownies exist. I’ve always had food drama and I think I always will.  Most of us Americans do.  I try to have healthy habits; buying local and organic when I can, eating veggies, less processed stuff, you know.  […]

Reese’s Explosion! Brownies

Reese’s Explosion! (The exclamation point makes this post so intense.) So, I stocked up on candy this year in the hopes that we’d have trick-or-treaters at our new house, but alas.. just a few knocks on the door.  We had about a billion treats left, and I was not about to let them sit around […]

Soft Pumpkin Cookies with Maple Cream Cheese Frosting

Alright, homies.  I think I’ve done this pumpkin thing to death.  I’ve got some more pumpkin to share with you, but I think I’ll just sprinkle it in with the rest of the fall recipes.  Speaking of sprinkles.. Here’s a second take on the Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Giants.  I made these cookies smaller, removed the […]

Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Giants

Warning: Cookies may be larger than they appear. I am loving these cookies!  I made them today for a little gathering and I had to hold myself back from downing them all.  I’ve seen this type of soft pumpkin cookie plenty of times around the internet, but this was my first time baking them.  The […]

Pumpkin Parmesan Focaccia Bread

Are you pumpkin-ed out yet? Hang in there.  You can make it. You’ll thank me next September when you’re searching for pumpkin recipes again. I decided to do some savory pumpkin recipes to round out Pumpkin Palooza.  Wouldn’t want to be responsible for too many sugar highs, you know?  That’s where the idea for a […]

Pumpkin & Gingersnap Cookie Dough Ice Cream

Pumpkin Palooza continues!  I was in a different location for the last four days and let’s just say that it made blogging a little difficult.  But I left you salivating all weekend in anticipation, I’m sure.  Well, salivate no more!  The palooza continues with an ice cream recipe. I was going to give you some […]

Pumpkin Marshmallows, Two Ways

Pumpkin Palooza begins! I’m pumped to share all of my best pumpkin recipes with you. Let’s begin with these sweet little beauties. If you’ve never had a fresh marshmallow, get out your mixer right now, or find someone who will make these for you.  This is not your mama’s marshmallow.  Unless your mama makes homemade […]

Pumpkin Palooza

We’re already half-way through October.  How does this keep happening?  Time is flying, my loves.  One of my favorite things about October (besides PHILLIES BASEBALL!) is pumpkin.  I know that every blogger and their third cousin is posting pumpkin recipes, but I’m not going to hide my love for these big orange beauties.  Just can’t […]

French Fridays are Finally Underway!

 I’ve finally gotten my act together.  I was so excited to start cooking through Dorie’s new book when I first heard about it.  I mean, have you seen Around My French Table?  Just the cover will make you drool.  But somehow, October 1 sneaked up on me and I totally missed making the first recipe, […]
