While I’m hesitant to add another pumpkin recipe to the already overflowing internet world of pumpkin, this recipe really is worth it. I love serving coffee cake to brunch guests, and it’s a great food to bring when you are a brunch guest. It’s easy to incorporate into almost any menu as it can be served
My old friend! Oh how I have missed you, coffee! I didn’t drink one sip of caffeine (coffee, soda, or tea) throughout my pregnancy. So when I delivered my baby girl in August, I was more than ready for a big cup of the good stuff. My nana had a great love for coffee and
My mother has been making a version of this recipe for years. When she was helping me immediately after I had my daughter - though to be truthful it’s been almost three months and she’s still helping me - she made this dish often. We aren’t huge pasta eaters in our house, but love to
I cannot get enough of baby eggplants - their real name is Thai Eggplant, but isn’t “baby eggplant” cuter? This recipe for Eggplant with Tahini and Pomegranate is a delicious appetizer for a cocktail party, or even served as a side.

I often find myself looking for a quick bite before I workout - it can be hard to exercise on an empty stomach! But, I don’t want anything too heavy, instead I look for a small snack with sustained energy and tasty flavor. Recently, I’ve had a lot of requests from clients for gluten free
Beet hummus! Beets are one of my favorite vegetables - hearty and rich and so easy to make. I love beets raw, especially in this preparation for cold sesame beets. But here, the beets are roasted for extra sweetness and tossed into a simple hummus recipe for the brightest hummus imaginable. The longer you roast the
I’ve been cooking up lots of savory dishes lately (more on that later!) so I decided we needed some sweet up in here! I love cooking and baking with plain Greek yogurt and wanted to try making muffins with the protein-rich low fat version. This recipe for chocolate chip Greek yogurt muffins has a few of my favorite
This recipe for macaroni and cheese is an updated version of a classic - with a few small tweaks. I made this recently when I was craving something warm and hearty - it totally hit the spot. You could easily lighten this dish by using nonfat or almond milk, reduced fat cheese or leaving off the
