Curried Vegan Pumpkin Pie (Gluten-Free)

Pumpkin pie lovers fall into two (maybe three) camps – purists and adventurists. At least that’s the case in my family. My husband was abhorred by the idea of changing up the yearly pumpkin pie(s) until I started baking and he started tasting. We used almost-burnt caramel as a base one year. Another the pie was topped with streusel (and made with caramel). Another pie was a Thanksgiving Two-fer ala Dorie Greenspan. (Think: double layers […]

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream

Vegan Pumpkin Spice Ice Cream

The weather the last few days has been so gorgeous – incredibly chilly, but gorgeous. And this morning…it snowed! I’m totally NOT ready for it to be winter yet. Our trees have almost lost all of their leaves (sniff, sniff) and we’ve turned on the heat. The cold weather clothes are now out of storage and in our closets and drawers. And now we wait for the snow. It feels a little strange to be […]

DIY Homemade Poultry Seasoning

With Thanksgiving arriving this week, I have had herbs and spices on my mind. One thing I always seem to forget to buy is poultry seasoning. That’s something that seems like it should be in my spice cupboard. It got me to thinking that I should make my own homemade poultry seasoning to have on hand and then I’d never be without it when I need it. The poultry seasoning blends you find on store […]

Thanksgiving Menu and Blogger Potluck

Last week I joined with some other food blogger friends for a Thanksgiving meal together. We gathered at Ashlee’s house, each of us bringing several of our favorite recipes for our Thanksgiving menu. It was so fun to have a “practice” Thanksgiving. It really put me in the mood for next week! Ashlee, Jesseca, Yvonne and Aimee are all fabulous cooks and it was fun to see and sample their recipes. At this time of […]

Cranberry-Ginger Chutney

I am a huge fan of cranberries. I think it goes back to the days when I was a little girl and I would visit my grandma’s house. She always, always, always had cranberry juice in her fridge. Her cupboard shelf was lined with tiny, straight-sided juice glasses. I loved watching her pour the dark red juice into my glass. This year my mom will make my grandma’s traditional cranberry sauce recipe and I will […]

Gluten-Free Cornbread Sausage Stuffing with Leeks, Pecans, and Dried Cranberries (Gluten-Free)

I’ve been making Cornbread Sausage Stuffing with Leeks, Pecans, and Dried Cranberries for nine years. Every. single. year. Without fail. Always for Thanksgiving and sometimes for Christmas too. Okay, and really, sometimes I make it during the summer just because I can and twice a year doesn’t seem like enough. Also, I need to mention, because I’m so proud of myself, that I have perfected the gluten-free aspect of it. So well, in fact, that […]

Brussels Sprout Potato Gratin

This weekend, the weather changed. Saturday was as lovely as could be and Sunday…it snowed. It’s been snowing for weeks in the mountains, but we had snow in the valley. I even turned the heat on for the first time since the spring. It’s for real. Winter is on its way. As much as I hate cold weather, I admit that it wouldn’t feel like November without a little snow and chilly wind creeping in […]

Pumpkin Butter Pecan Ice Cream

You might be looking at this bowl of Pumpkin Butter Pecan Ice Cream and thinking I’ve just loaded it up with all of those scoops for the picture. And, honestly, you are right. However, I’m kind of willing to bet that between the two of us, my husband and I ate that much straight out of the container the other night. It’s amazing how quickly those spoons keep going back for more! But seriously? This […]
