I love this casserole! It’s really easy and the Italian flavors really perk up the squash. I will usually tolerate winter squash, but this in this meal I forget that I don’t really like squash. It reminds me of a yummy baked pasta casserole. Just make sure you plan enough time to roast the squash…
Mushroom and Spinach Enchiladas
It’s bad, people. I’m to that point in my pregnancy where my mind wants to nest and get ready for the baby, but my body wants to sit at the computer in my PJ’s all day. I actually want to go on a walk right now, but the only place I want to go is…
Easy Corn Bread
Last week I posted the recipe for Black Bean Soup and if you looked carefully enough, you could see a thick slice of corn bread in the background of the picture. Corn bread is just one of those recipe’s that you should always have up your sleeve to serve on a cold winter day with…
Healthy Black Bean Soup
I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I sure did. My husband and I had 3 other couples over for Thanksgiving Dinner and it was delicious! I know everyone is gearing up for Christmas, now. I know there will be another round sweets and feasting before the New Year detox, but I can’t help but…
A Month of Pie: Fruit and Cream Frozen Cheesecake
I saved this pie for last because it is pretty much the easiest pie in world to make. If you want just one more pie in your Thanksgiving spread, but you don’t have the time or energy to make one, try this pie. You do need at least enough time to freeze the pie, so…
A Month of Pie: Blackberry Mango Pie
I am dedicating this pie to my little niece Eleni. Her mom, my sister in law, told me that her kids have loved seeing all the different pies on my blog this month. I asked her if her kids had any recommendations for pie flavors. Jacob got his pumpkin pie a couple posts back. Lyd,…
A Month of Pie: Flaky Pie Crust Tutorial (Using Butter)
I am not a fan of shortening. You will never find a recipe on this website that uses shortening (well, I may have used it one time years ago). I have said it before: It creeps me out. When I see a can of that greasy goo, I just can’t bring myself to cook with…
A Month of Pie: Candy Apple Pie
I have a weakness for candy apples. I don’t think I ever had one as a kid. I’m not sure why, but I just never had one until after I was married and decided to make my own. When I took that first bite, I think I fell in love. Caramel and apples are meant…
A Month of Pie: Pumpkin Pie using Homemade Pumpkin Puree
Lets talk for a minute about whether or not its worth making your own pumpkin puree, rather than just popping open a can of Libby’s. I wondered this myself. Was my pie going to taste bad? Was it going to be too labor intensive to be worth it? Am I crazy for actually wanting…
A Month of Pie: Lime-Coconut Pie with Macadamia-Coconut Crust
Today’s pie is my favorite pie to date. It reminds me of my Bath and Body Works Coconut Lime Verbena body lotion that I used to wear in high school. I used to wear it because my high school crush (now my hubby) loved that scent, so of course he loved this pie. It is…
