Pumpkin Biscotti with Hazelnuts

I learned a few things today. Number one: biscotti are delicious (well I kind of knew this already). Number two: pumpkin biscotti are even more delicious (ESPECIALLY with hazelnuts). Number three: who knew that you probably have all of the ingredients for biscotti hiding inside your pantry?! I don’t know why I never realized […]
Apple and Chicken Tacos with Pumpkin Mayo

So, if you haven’t noticed or you have been living in a hole for the past 24 hours, we have been getting pummeled with rain. There is flooding occuring all over the front range of Colorado. Buildings and roads are collapsing. People are being evacuated; and it’s just plain scary. This being the case, […]
Pumpkin Spice Granola

Day 2 of 10 Days of Pumpkin is all about breakfast. I think I go through more granola than any other food out there. I love the stuff. What I love even more is how creative you can get when making it! It can be sweet or salty; spicy or plain; with or without […]
Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies

Chocolate Pumpkin Brownies…with ginger snaps. I think my favorite part of this time of year is all the warm ingredients you get to start using that you couldn’t use over the summer. The summer is great for 100 million reasons, but the thought of even turning the oven on is just plain scary. Even […]
Fresh Peach Ice Cream with Caramel

I find that ice cream brings joy to just about anyone (unless you are allergic to dairy =( this is sad — there are cool alternatives though!), even if that dreaded Monday is upon us. I thought this ice cream was the perfect recipe to share on this beautiful Sunday, especially since the end […]
Funfetti Whoopie Pies

These are probably one of the funnest cookies I’ve ever had the chance to make. I mean look at them. They obviously just scream fun. I feel as though there is a “funfetti-craze” going on right now. I’m pretty certain that every time I turn to Pinterest or some other food-type website I see […]
Cannoli Cream Dip – Tailgating Recipes Version 1 .0

So I decided to hit 2 birds with 1 stone with this recipe. Per my sister’s request (she’s visiting by the way), cannolis were on the menu. However, I don’t believe cannolis go very well with my theme for the week – “The Best Ever Tailgate Recipes.” Who knows if this dip even belongs […]
Thai-Style Chicken Salad

Well I haven’t been feeling 100% lately. It’s a mix of things really, but I definitely feel a sinus infection coming on. =( As a result, the last thing I feel like doing is cooking. I knew that last night’s dinner had to be something simple. Something simple enough, that Zach could take the […]
Fried Chicken Green Chili Wontons with Mango, Habanero Sauce

We’ve never actually made a fried “wonton” before. Sure, I have had my fair share of all kinds of restaurant-made wontons. I was having some serious mental blockage this week on recipe making. Sometimes this happens, just like anything else. It’s like writer’s block for home cooks. Zach helped me out with this recipe, […]
