So…Thanksgiving. I can’t lie. I’m so excited for Thanksgiving to come. I start thinking about my menu months in advance, which sounds silly, I know. But there’s a lot of pressure to create the perfect meal for that one day every November where we sit together as a family, reflect, and talk about gratitude. That […]
Gluten-Free Apple Pecan Oat Bars
Ah, you guys! Fall baking season is in full effect. I don’t care if it’s still nearly 90°F outside. My oven has been on and I’ve been baking up a storm. We’ve been LOVING these Gluten-Free Apple Pecan Oat Bars. We have been eating them for dessert, breakfast, and snacks. And we’re not tired of […]
Roasted Red Pepper and Sweet Potato Soup
It’s officially Soup Season again, folks! And I am cheering! The other day I was thinking about how excited I am to get through the month of September because I LOVE OCTOBER. But then I thought, “Well, September isn’t so bad either.” The truth is, I just love autumn. The past few days it’s been […]
Chicken Rice Stew with Leeks + Mushrooms
April is here at least! The trees in our yard are full of fluffy blossoms. The days are getting longer. And I’ve been spending a little time each afternoon basking in it all as I ride my bike. Spring is wonderful! It’s also time for this month’s #EatSeasonal roundup. This month I’m sharing a recipe […]
Cauliflower Couscous Salad
I love the month of March. It means spring is on its way, though the winter here in Boise was not too bad. It means my birthday is around the corner and I’m trying really hard not to think about getting older, but hoping I’m getting wiser. Ha! I’m excited to see my lawn turning […]

I have been so excited to have […]

Gluten-Free Pistachio Fig Pinwheel Cookies
Make these delicious pinwheel cookies for your next cookie swap or potluck. Have I got a good recipe for you today! Remember the Peach Curd Bars I made in the fall?

Roasted Butternut Squash Dip
Every recipe I share with you has some sort of story. Sometimes it’s the story of an old family recipe, other times it’s a brand new story still in the making. This one is an in-between-story recipe. When I was a newlywed, I catered an open house during the holidays. (I mention that time period a […]
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 […]
