delicious seasonal eats
October is my favorite month. I know I’m not alone in that sentiment – what’s not to love? Gorgeous fall colors, beautiful weather, and a bountiful harvest. It doesn’t get any better! I spent last week in The Bay Area (more on that later!) and really enjoyed experiencing a week of California-style October weather and […]
Yep. It’s October, but I’m squeezing in one more peach recipe before they are gone for the year. As quickly as peach season arrives, it also ends. Sad, sad, sad. I was horribly disappointed to find the local farm I have been visiting sold out of my favorite variety of peaches within just a few […]
Nothing is easier to make than this Slow Cooker Creamy Pumpkin Soup Recipe – it’s great for chilly nights, potlucks and parties, or anytime. Folks, you don’t need me to tell you that Pumpkin Season has arrived. Let’s kick it off with this super easy Slow Cooker Creamy Pumpkin Soup recipe, shall we? Do you […]
Peaches and rosemary were made for each other. It’s as simple as that. I love peaches. I love rosemary. Put them together, and I’m head over heels for it, no matter what it is. As I’ve been dreaming up new ways to eat peaches (like it’s my full-time job), the idea came to me a […]
September is proving to be magical – the weather and fresh produce are astounding. October is my favorite month, but September is a close second. It’s also time for another round of #EatSeasonal. I’m joining in with some of my favorite bloggers to share recipes using fruits and veggies that are available in September. The […]
Pumpkin Pie Spice is probably our most-used and loved baking spice blend. All fall and winter long, and sometimes in the warmer months, we add a spoonful to just about everything. I started buying it a few years ago when I saw it at Trader Joe’s. I remembered my grandmother’s spice cupboard always had a […]
We often discuss in our family (usually during dinner) what constitutes a great dessert. Of course, as expected, my children think dessert means loads of sugar, chocolate, caramel, etc, etc. They don’t believe me when I tell them fruit is the original dessert. I can’t blame them much; I would have balked at the notion […]
On a whim, I sought out a pick-your-own farm near where we live because I have been craving fresh blackberries. They are plentiful in the produce section at the supermarket right now, but those aren’t the berries that make dreams come true. Last summer I picked wild blackberries in Washington State on the side of the […]
I think sometimes we get caught up in thinking a recipe has to be complicated to be delicious. And don’t worry, I include myself in that statement. While it true some of my favorite recipes might have two dozen ingredients (homemade curry anyone?), there are others that are startlingly simple. This side dish of Roasted Haricot […]
This Spice Cake with Penuche Frosting is legendary in my family. For as long as I can remember, it has been my dad’s favorite cake. There were several times a year when the cake was made and enjoyed. When we made it growing up, it was always from a cake mix. The only alteration […]
