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…
Autumn/Fall
Creamiest Vanilla Frozen Custard Ever
Okay, kiddos are back in school, and I trust you’re settling into a sweet groove, right? Right. Now it’s time for a PLOT TWIST!! The holidays are coming up! Ha ha ha!!! You thought life was going to be easy, didn’t you? NOPE! Well, it sorta kinda is. I start prepping for my holiday meals…
Overnight Apple Pie Steel Cut Oatmeal
Okay, confession time. Even though I’ve been sharing tons of back-to-school recipes- we kinda sorta haven’t started school here. I’m just old-school in my thinking. School shouldn’t start until after Labor Day, in my opinion. And, since we homeschool, I can begin whenever the heck I want to. So, I wait until after the September…
Peach Frozen Yogurt Breakfast Pops
You’re probably gearing up for back-to-school if you haven’t already booted your littles out of the door. My mind is reeling from all of the recipes that I’m planning to make to create easy mornings around this house. Since, like most creative types, I’m up late; waking up early in the morning is not on…
Espresso Cheesecake with Biscoff Crust
Few things make my mouth water. That’s a bold-face lie. Lots of things make my mouth water. None like coffee- espresso to be precise- and Biscoff. I have a habit (whether it’s good or bad is undecided) of seeing just how far I can push the recipe envelope. If espresso and Biscoff are served together…
Persimmon-Walnut Muffins
Is there ever a time when stealing is okay? Asking for a friend. Okay, okay, I’m that friend. Honestly, I’m currently staring out of my office window at my neighbor’s tree. It’s loaded down with ripe persimmons and this Persimmon-Walnut Muffin recipe is begging to be made with them. But, then I think of how embarrassing…
Apple-Pear Butter: An Orchard in a Jar
If you’re like me, at this moment in time, you don’t have a dollar to spare. I’ve managed, as I always find time to do, to wait until the last minute to get the holiday ball rolling. Military life brings with it holiday balls, holiday parties, holiday everything. It doesn’t, however, bring holiday cash. A quick…
Fruit and Grain Pumpkin Bread
Truth be told, I don’t like it when my husband likes anything of anyone else’s better than he likes mine. I don’t care if it’s a car, a dress, or a meal. If he’s fawning over how amazing it is, I’m probably looking for the closest bat to bash it with. This is how so…
Maple Bourbon Chocolate Pecan Pie
Shoooooo, y’all!!! I almost messed up Thanksgiving! Your girl completely blew off the fact that, as a food blogger, I should be blogging about- say…FOOD?!?! ESPECIALLY on one of the foodiest holidays that exists. Instead, I was galavanting around my garage building stuff in a last-ditch effort to get my proverbial “ish” together. By the Monday before…
Boozy Spiced Cranberry Sauce
So, Thanksgiving is coming. This year I’m thankful that my family hasn’t wrapped me in a wool blanket and beaten me with socks filled with soap bars. It seems like they want to, though. They don’t say it, but I can see it in their eyes. There’s definitely an old-fashioned “Blanket Party” in my future…
