Whipped Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter
I usually like to balance things out on this blog. Pumpkin Spice Honey Butter right after Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars with plans for cookies in the near future is not balance. When I post something sweet and unhealthy, I try to put up a post or two with something somewhat healthy. And let me tell…
Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars
These Pumpkin Pie Oat Crumble Bars were inspired by a late night treat making episode with my sister. She was staying with me for a few days and we were doing what we do best: binge watching Gilmore Girls and putting together a puzzle from the thrift store. We always pick out an ugly thrift store puzzle…
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…

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: Buttercup Squash Pie
When I heard that my favorite ice cream shop, Jeni’s Splendid Ice Cream had a new buttercup squash flavor for fall, I knew right away that I had to find myself a buttercup squash and make something out of it. I had never heard of buttercup squash before this year, but everything about it…
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…
