I haven't really done much cooking in the last few days... We have been busy helping friends paint their new house, working in our yard, and visiting family over the weekend. It has been quite relaxing, and I've been enjoying getting things done around the house. The only issue is ...

Pumpkin Ricotta Ravioli
I find that there is something relaxing and soothing about making pasta by hand. I'm not Italian (but sometimes think I should have been), and making my own pasta is my way of channeling my inner Italian grandmother. Ever since we planned our February Boston trip, I had been looking ...
Healthy (Vegan) Chai Spiced Pumpkin Muffins
You may think that pumpkin is only for the fall, but I could eat pumpkin all year long. I made lots of my own pumpkin puree with the fresh pumpkins from our CSA this fall, and stocked up on a few extra cans, too... Just in case! I've been on ...

The November 2009 Daring Bakers Challenge was chosen and hosted by Lisa Michele of Parsley, Sage, Desserts and Line Drives. She chose the Italian Pastry, Cannolo (Cannoli is plural), using the cookbooks Lidia’s Italian-American Kitchen by Lidia Matticchio Bastianich and The Sopranos Family Cookbook by Allen Rucker; recipes ...

Cranberry Nut Pumpkin Bread
Hopefully you're not getting sick of pumpkin recipes yet! If you are, let me apologize now, because I'll probably be cooking with pumpkin until Christmas (at least). I wait all year for the few precious months when I can bake and cook with pumpkin, and I take full ...
Pumpkin Cranberry Apple Baked Oatmeal
We had a few chilly mornings last week which got me thinking about baked oatmeal. It's kind of strange that I immediately wanted baked oatmeal, though, because I've never been much of an oatmeal eater - baked or not. It just sounded like a nice warm treat after my ...
Pumpkin Cupcakes with Cinnamon Brown Sugar Buttercream
Now that the word about my food blog has started to spread, it has become an expectation that I will bring food with me everywhere I go. It's not really a bad thing, because it gives me a good excuse to get rid of some of the baked goods ...
Friday Favorites – Episode 29
It's Friday, which means it's time for my Friday Favorites... Are all of you sick of these yet? I can't believe I've written 29 weeks of favorites already. As far as I know, many of you are still reading (and even enjoying?) my list of favorite blog posts each week. ...
