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…
Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Mashed Potatoes with Cauliflower
Thanksgiving is tomorrow and I know you probably have your menus all planned out already. But just in case you are still looking for ideas, I thought I’d post a quick recipe for my favorite way to make mashed potatoes. I basically just make mashed potatoes and add a whole head of cauliflower to the…
Vegetarian Thanksgiving: Sweet Potato Kale Stuffing
November is not my favorite month. The desolate, deserted trees,The faded earth, the heavy sky… (from My November Guest by Robert Frost) Perhaps because I’m still clinging to fall and November is so close to winter. 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…
Italian Stuffed Acorn Squash
Every fall I always end up with an assortment of random squash and gourds sitting on my counter top that I did not buy. Please tell me I’m not the only one who goes through this squash dilemma every fall. Half the time some one gives them to us because they are sick of them…
Thanksgiving Round Up
Isn’t Thanksgiving the best? Its just so cozy. There is nothing better than sitting around in a warm home with friends or family and eating good food. And the next day, eating pumpkin pie for breakfast. Love it. This year, I am not really sure what I am doing for Thanksgiving. I might invite some…
Pumpkin Muffins with Toasted Pecan Streusel
I am totally obsessed with the new show called Master Chef Junior. I just can’t get enough of it. I love cooking competition shows, but I usually can’t handle Gordon Ramsey because he is so loud and mean. However, he turns into a marshmallow when hosting a show where the stars are ages 8-13….
