Alright, I held out as long as I could. Now it’s time to load you up with all things pumpkin. Manicotti stuffed with pumpkin and ricotta, baked in a brown butter-sage béchamel sauce. Long name, sure, but the taste is worth it. Meatless isn’t bad. This is a vegetarian meal that doesn’t lack for anything. It’s…

Sabich Bowls
Thankfully, this post is much lighter than my post from earlier in the week. Little David was brought out from under sedation on Tuesday. He’s suffering from seizures, but the doctors think it’s just his brain rebooting. Please continue to keep him, my sister, and my BIL in your prayers! In the meantime, we need to…
Egyptian-Style Falafel Made with Fava Beans

Sense & Edibility’s Italian Ratatouille
Um…can someone tell me why it’s 80°F in Central Texas right now? And why do I not even feel guilty about making r atatouille in the middle of January? Forget the fact that zucchini and squash are selling for pennies; it’s as hot as August in my part of Texas. I’m doing things low-key this week…
