‘Tis the season for pumpkin pie. Who doesn’t love a nice creamy, pumpkin-y, perfectly spiced slice of pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving Day? If you are not a pumpkin pie fan, I am not sure that we can be friends anymore. KIDDING! Kidding. I love pumpkin pie so much that I begin to crave it way before Thanksgiving. To make a pie that serves 8 when there are only two of us to eat it is not the best idea. Those leftover slices would be calling my name every time I walked into the kitchen. And I walk … [Read more...]
Cranberry Chia Seed Jam (GF)
I am officially at the start of preparing and planning for the holiday season. I have begun to dream of Thanksgiving side dishes and desserts. Thanksgiving is a food blogger’s favorite holiday! It is all about feasting on a spread of delicious food. Oh, yeah, guess there is that whole giving thanks thing, and of course the spending-time-with-your family ordeal. I kid, I kid! However, everyone does gather around the table for lively conversation, catching up, and the scrumptious … [Read more...]
Curried Pumpkin Soup
Pumpkin, pumpkin, and more pumpkins! We are all about pumpkins these days, mostly pumpkin-spiced desserts and lattes. Last week I joined in on the pumpkin mania by making my Pumpkin Bars with Honey- Sweetened Cream Cheese Frosting. They hit the spot! Today I am adding a savory recipe to our pumpkin recipe collection! Why do I dare stray away from pumpkin-spiced desserts? Because our poor little orange squash friend has been sweetened and turned into every dessert possible. It has … [Read more...]
Vanilla Frozen Yogurt with Chocolate Swirl
On Friday I made Gluten-free Cherry Crisps for Two. I knew I would want to enjoy ice cream with my warm, bubbly cherry crisp. I got an ice cream maker for my Birthday and have been itching to try it out. I knew I wanted to make a vanilla-based ice cream plus chocolate to complement the cherry crisp because cherry and chocolate were made for each other. But I didn’t want the chocolate to be overpowering, so I settled on a chocolate ganache that is swirled into the vanilla. Yogurt … [Read more...]
Peach and Sweet Corn Soup
Soup is by far one of my favorite ways to enjoy food. There are so many different flavors and textures you can make. Smooth and creamy, or chunky and hearty. Brothy and light or stewy and filling. Soup is comforting and healing. It can be relaxing or energizing. When soup is made with love and care, in my opinion, it is one of the best meals you can have. If I could I would eat homemade soup every day all day. However, there is one time of year that soup is not usually desired. The summer … [Read more...]
Shrimp Salad with Thyme
I grew up eating tons of peel-and-eat shrimp with a punchy cocktail sauce, and coconut shrimp, fried shrimp-- shrimp in any type of meal that you can imagine. I guess you can say that I am an experienced shrimp eater. When I was brainstorming ideas for shrimp recipes I stumbled across Ina Garten’s shrimp salad. The idea of shrimp salad was foreign to me. Somehow during my shrimp eating experience I missed out on the shrimp salad train. I knew that I must make shrimp salad to fill in my shrimp … [Read more...]

Artichoke and Fennel Caponata
Have you ever been asked by a friend to bring an appetizer to a party and didn’t want the challenge of keeping a hot dish warm while transporting it? This is a huge challenge for me, especially since a lot of times we are traveling an hour away for family gatherings or friends’ get-togethers. In these situations my go-to-recipe is usually hummus. It’s simple to make, easy to transport and is delicious at room temperature. As much as I love hummus and can eat it every day, I like to mix things … [Read more...]
Orange Jalapeno Margaritas
Summertime is almost here and that means one thing. Margaritas! They are refreshing and festive. Although it may be tempting to make a margarita with a pre-mix for convenience, it is not quite so tempting when you look at the ingredient label. Bottled margarita mix is laced with tons of sugar, artificial colors and flavoring, and way too many calories. No Thank you! Making your own margaritas with fresh juice and sweetening it with a little honey is by far the way to go. Plus, it really only … [Read more...]
