Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash
This Sweet Potato and Mushroom Hash recipe came about when I was in need of something to go with my breakfast-for-dinner Savory Whole Wheat Waffles Topped with Fried Eggs. I felt like I needed to add some more veg to the meal. And when the chill in the air makes its way into my home,…
Chocolate Pumpkin Dump Cake
This Chocolate Pumpkin Dump Cake was inspired by a recipe I posted a few years back for my original Pumpkin Dump Cake and it is still my most viewed and loved recipe on my blog. It’s a recipe my mother passed down and one of my very favorites from my childhood. Its one of the easiest…

Actually, I’m still clinging to summer. I’m still wearing my flip flops, not yet resigned to boots. My toes…
Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Parmesan Potato Tian with Red Potatoes and Sweet Potatoes
When people ask if I am a vegetarian, I usually respond with “yes….mostly.” Its just easier to say that I am a vegetarian, but in all reality I’m not. True, I don’t cook with meat hardly ever and I don’t really order it at restaurants. But there are the rare occasions where I do…
Pumpkin Bread French Toast
The other day, my husband and I were looking for a place to go out to eat. We are really indecisive about restaurants. I think we had already spent 30 minutes looking through online menus. I don’t remember where we went or what we got (must not have been that great), but I remember seeing…
Savory Roasted Pumpkin Soup with Mushrooms
Did you all see my Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash recipe a few posts ago? Do you remember how I talked about always having a random squash or gourd of some sort sitting on my counter in the fall and never getting around to baking it? Well, folks, the problem has escalated! I thought I was…
