Spiced Cranberry Apple Pie
How did it get this late in the year guys? I don’t know, but I’m guessing those of you celebrating a holiday tomorrow and probably even many of you that aren’t, are busy doing lots of baking now that the holiday season is in full swing. This year has been quite a whirlwind for me but I’m really enjoying that things seem to be settling down a little bit for the end of it. I don’t typically bake that many pies throughout the year but I think there’s some unspoken law that says when the holidays roll around at least one or two pies are mandatory. Oh, and also when planning the dessert…

Warm Sage & Almond Pesto Roasted Potato Salad
You know what is a pretty broad term? Salad. I feel like I’ve said this same thing many times before, actually I know I have, but it’s as true as ever. Where I grew up in the southern part of the States, every gathering with friends or church potluck was proof of this fact. It may even surprise some of you to know that it’s a common thing to make dessert salads in the mid-west. I kid you not, one popular version of that type of salad includes marshmallows, cherries, and whipped cream. My mom used to make it a lot for parties and we loved it. I’m just saying, a “salad” doesn’t…

Pecan Streusel Sweet Potato Spice Muffins
I’m kind of freaking out again…. It’s just, I woke up and realized we’re about to start the last month of the year and I’m caught in the storm of emotions that I think is familiar to most of you. I’m really excited (you don’t even know) about the holiday festivities but also a little tiny bit sad that time is speeding by so fast. Maybe that sounds crazy, but hopefully you can understand. Anyway, it’s my nephew’s first Christmas. I think I already mentioned recently but that’s a huge part of why I really want this holiday season to be special for my sister (for my nephew too, but he won’t be…

Today is officially the one week countdown to Turkey day for all of my wonderful readers from the States. That makes up over half of you and as a food blogger that means you’re all searching out the perfect new recipes to bring to the table, definitely something I can’t forget about. I’m switching to full on Christmas gear this weekend you guys. If you follow me on Pinterest (not that I’m ordering you around, but you should because it’s the only social media platform that I actually feel like I can use properly) then you’ve probably noticed that I’m getting really excited by all of my Christmas pinnnage! And speaking of Christmas, I…

Roasted Pumpkin & Arugula Salad with Cider Vinaigrette
See, I actually do know what a salad is. You know, just in case that was in question. My family doesn’t actually live on chocolate, chocolate, doughnuts, french fries, and more chocolate……..at least not all of them. And yes, I’m bringing you another pumpkin recipe. Please don’t hate me if you’re getting sick of it by now cause I still have more pumpkin coming. It’s only the first week of November though, so it’s cool right? We’re good? K, thanks. Growing up, I never realized that people actually ate pumpkin as a vegetable and not just an ingredient for their favorite orange pie. In fact, the inside with all the sticky stringiness used to…

Warm Barley Salad with Roasted Butternut Squash & Brussels Sprouts (Vegan)
I know a lot of you are getting ready for bathing suit wearing, lemonade drinking, and all of the other things that come with summer but down south we’re all pulling out our fuzzy sweatshirts and wool socks. Salads are one of the things I love about the warm half of the year. You can throw in whatever you want and it’s a great way to take advantage of all of the fresh produce available, but in the fall and winter it’s not as appealing to eat cold veggies. I don’t know about you, but I crave cozy meals when I’m cold and warm salads are just that, super cozy. They still have…
