Lads and lassies! Say hello to your new favorite cold weather meal…butternut squash pasta. Ahhh, let’s let that sink in. We’re pairing pasta with the most lovely hunks of butternut squash roasted to caramel perfection.

Top it off with an irresistibly crispy pecan and breadcrumb situation that totally sets this dish apart from all the rest!...

I’m riding the overnight oatmeal train and I don’t plan on jumping off anytime soon. They’re just too easy!

Ingredients Old-fashioned oats: Also known as rolled oats, this is the whole grain base of our blueberry overnight oats recipe....

What is labneh? Labneh is a soft cheese made by straining yogurt, allowing all the whey to separate and leaving soft curds behind. The longer you allow the yogurt to strain, the firmer your labneh will be. For this recipe I wanted to have a smooth, spreadable consistency so I didn’t leave the yogurt to strain for too long but you could leave it overnight in the fridge if you wanted a more cream cheese-like consistency....

When one is beyond obsessed with pumpkin in every form, you gotta get creative. I mean I can only eat so many pumpkin chocolate chips cookies and drink so many DIY pumpkin spiced lattes and flip so many pumpkin spiced pancakes. It has to end somewhere. Or does it? First I was thinking pumpkin brie quesadillas. Then I was like, wait– I’ve never even bought brie before and I don’t plan on starting now....

Do chickens even have fingers?! Perhaps they do. Okay so even if chickens do have phalanges, chicken strips/tenders/fingers are really just breast meat, no? It’s all a big farse! I guess they look kind of like weird knobby fingers when you fry ’em up, hence the name. I apologize that these crispy baked tofu nuggets look absolutely nothing like fingers. But maybe that’s a good thing. I think it’s a great thing....

Updated June 01, 2020 If you are a regular reader of our blog, you know I LOVE chickpeas. They are one of my favorite ingredients to use in recipes. I always keep our pantry stocked with cans of chickpeas (garbanzo beans) because I use them all of the time for hummus, salads, tacos, and soups. I also love to snack on Crispy Roasted Chickpeas. The other day, I made roasted chickpeas on Instagram stories and I got a ton of messages from people about how to make them, so today I am sharing my easy recipe....

It’s the time of the year that I am most jealous of Americans or anyone living there. Fall just seems to be a magical time over there. With the pumpkins, apples, caramel, pretty leaves and the anticipation of Halloween, I am filled with a feeling of longing and it’s no wonder that I do whatever I can to emulate it over here. Although, it’s not all that easy because while it’s not exactly boiling (yet), I still can’t indulge in my love of baking and the level of comfort food that is associated with Fall/Autumn....

Making a pie crust from scratch is hard! Like I mentioned in my pumpkin pie post, this year I wanted to challenge myself with pie making and contribute to our Thanksgiving dinner party. As a serious home cook myself, I believe that a pie made with a pre-made crust doesn’t count as homemade. And I wanted to practice enough until I could bake a perfect pie before presenting it to anyone other than my husband....
