The Christmas tree is up and we're just past Thanksgiving, but I am still full on in fall / winter vegetable mode! One of my favorites -- and honestly, a beautiful recipe that looks harder than it is -- are Harissa Roasted Carrots with Pumpkin Sage Hummus recipe from Crowded Kitchen. The end result is…

Roasted nuts are one of my total weaknesses. The salty / sweet (and sometimes spicy) combo is one of my absolute favorites. I was sending a holiday package - for the Food52 Holiday Swap! - and knew these would ship beautifully, so made a double batch of these Sweet & Spicy Rosemary Cashews. I think…
I have been aboslutley dying to make this Tortellini Soup with Italian Sausage & Kale from one of my all-time fav foodies, The Modern Proper, and finally had the chance the other day! You could actually taste the excitement in the air as I decided this is what I was going to do with my…

When life gives you.... noodles..... you make Chicken Noodle Soup! My dad gave us a batch of homemade noodles during our last visit, so we had to whip up something phenomenal!

With so much time to myself, the cooking plans were pretty through the roof. I also…
The pumpkin kick continues! Thank goodness pumpkins aren't just for Halloween and are perfect for Thanksgiving (and really, all of winter!), otherwise I would never get enough! I used to make hummus often because once you have the ingredients (or maybe you're someone that just normally has tahini in the house!), it's really so easy…
Ok, ok, so in an effort to get rid of our Halloween pumpkin, we made Short Rib & Pumpkin Chili, but then we were left still with extra pumpkin. And I can't stand throwing food away, so threw on a quick soup to simmer while the chili was cooking! This season, second to chili, soup…
RIP Halloween decorations (yes, I still had a pumpkin in my house!). Lucky for me, we never carved it, and I made sure to buy a baking pumpkin so I could make something out of it when the holiday was over 🙂 This weekend was Mission: Get Rid of the Pumpkin, so when I found…
Thanksgiving is arguably the best holiday. You have basically zero obligations to go anywhere, get anyone a gift, or even really put on decent clothes (yoga pants to the rescue!). At our house, Thanksgiving is my dad's holiday. It's his absolute favorite and it's really his time to shine with all of his favorite recipes.…
