Whole-Can-of-Pumpkin Baked Oatmeal
Last fall, a friend mentioned that when she uses part of a can of pumpkin, the leftover portion always seems to go bad before she gets a chance to finish it. To avoid this problem, feel free to click on the link to my Pumpkin Roundup, below. But also consider giving the following recipe a…

Butterscotch Bread Pudding
Crispy edges, tender insides, and notes of caramel and butter take the classic bread pudding to new heights. Easy and irresistible! Last fall, I mentioned that I was all set to share a recipe for butterscotch bread pudding when a thoughtful reader emailed me the recipe for her prized beet cake. Like my chicken in…
Yogurt Almond Flour Dutch Baby
Almond flour, Greek yogurt, and eggs form the base of this wholesome, filling, grain-free twist on the traditional Dutch baby. Did you know that February is National Pancake Month? I recently discovered this when Stonyfield Organic issued a friendly challenge to create a pancake recipe using yogurt. One of the early recipes on…
Chicken, Butternut Squash and White Bean Soup
After 12 fabulous years, I recently said farewell to the only car my almost 12-year-old son ever knew. Even my 15-year-old son hardly remembered the car that preceded this one, but after sinking progressively more money into it, the time had come. I had no idea what sort of car I wanted next, and we…
Overnight Oven-Baked French Toast
Amidst the last minute preparations for Christmas Day, there are a few non-negotiable activities on my calendar every December 24th. First and foremost, I must wrap the gifts my dad buys for my mom. To clarify, this annual ritual is not a hardship. In fact, I secretly love it. You see, while I am cutting…
Wild Rice and Sausage Casserole (or Stuffing/Dressing)
Initially created as a side to poultry, we enjoy this hearty recipe throughout the year as a main dish. It’s equally delightful paired with a green vegetable or salad. It’s hard to believe that my year of delving into the Top 10 Food Trends as a Sargento Flavor Journey Correspondent is winding…
Slow Cooker Gingerbread Steel Cut Oats (with easy day before method)
Easy prep-ahead method and slow cooker tip results in ready-to-eat oats with toothsome texture and easy cleanup. The classic spice combination is holiday worthy! The best part of this recipe? Lift the bowl of perfectly cooked oatmeal out of the slow cooker, cover and refrigerate for a wholesome breakfast at-the-ready. Done! As…
Farmhouse Roasted Chestnuts
Lightly salted, these chestnuts are delicious served warm and straight from the shell. They’re perfect for Thanksgiving stuffing and soups too! Autumn is the time of year when the American Chestnut Trees in the northeast drop the nuts from their prickly burrs. As an interesting bit of trivia, there are typically three chestnuts per…
Caramelized Apple Salad with Butternut Squash
I am so pleased to introduce a guest post from Audra of Cherished Bliss. You may be familiar with Audra as the author of Once a Mom Always Cook but, as you will read, Audra is joining forces with another gifted cook who she knows quite well. Audra has been a respected friend since I…
Pumpkin Pie Overnight Oats
Five minutes of prep reward you with a hearty, nourishing, grab-and-go breakfast that’s brimming with pumpkin and warm spices! If I counted how many times I started my day with overnight no-cook oatmeal cups, well….let’s just say it would be a very big number! I love to quickly whip up a jarful (or several)…
Coconut Pumpkin Granola
Pumpkin works as a tasty replacement for a portion of the sugar and oil in this crunchy granola, which offers just the right notes of sugar and spice! My go-to granola recipe is such a favorite, it takes a pretty terrific option for me to stray from my old standby. But as fall rolls…
