Now that it’s officially November, chances are there are a lot of pies in our future. Pumpkin pie is iconic for American Thanksgiving. I wrote a post on making your own pumpkin puree last year but figured I should rewrite it again since it’s definitely a skill that comes in handy for you and me…

Salt And Pepper Pumpkin Seeds
It’s impossible for me to say “salt and pepper” without finishing it up with an “Ah, push it. Push it good.” Anyone else? No? Just me? Never mind then. These really are good. Maybe not push-it-good, but good nonetheless. I’ve roasted a few pumpkins so far this season and every time kept the seeds. I…
Hot Pumpkin Breakfast Quinoa
I’m glad so many people have liked and tried the hot banana breakfast quinoa recipe. In 2 weeks I don’t think I can count the number of times I’ve eaten that on just my hands. It’s too easy and too tasty not to get in a rut over. One change I have tried is this…
Almond Flour Pumpkin Bread
Christopher Columbus discovered America. I discovered that you can make a moist and delicious pumpkin bread that’s gluten and grain-free. Not to belittle Mr. Columbus’ achievement, but I think that’s pretty damn good. Maybe I’m just a little too excited because I wasn’t sure this could be done. A few hours before I pulled this…
Sick Day Comfort Food
For the first time so far this year that I can remember I’ve been sick. Of course it has to happen right at finals time; how could it not? Well, I’ve been pushing through to finish strong(the semester that is) while my trash basket looks like graveyard for tissues and paper towels(because that’s what I…
Pumpkin Pie Spiced Mashed Potatoes
This recipe came along more as a fluke than anything else. I had already started to make mashed potatoes when I suddenly realize all I had for “milk” was vanilla almond milk. After giving it a shot and adding pumpkin puree, I realized the vanilla and almond flavors blended perfectly to make this a pumpkin…
Quick & “Pumpkiny” Lunches
It amazed me that Rachael Ray has made an empire with 30 Minute Meals, mostly because 30 minute meals are all I eat and they don’t seem so special. My little secret is—save roasting a chicken or potatoes where all you have to do is put them in the oven and wait—I cook a total…
Sweet & Tangy Autumn Chicken Salad
In preschool, I was the fussy eater. Our lunches were always prepared food and whenever it was tuna fish salad or bologna with mayo on white bread, I made them scrape off the mayonnaise and the tuna, so I wasn’t left with much… Fast-forward several years and I’m a much more adventurous eater than I…
Rich Pumpkin Soup With Sautéed Curried Apples
I swore to myself I wasn’t going to make a soup this season. I just don’t love soup, and it gets too complicated too fast for my liking. But then things changed: I got an idea for flavors in my mind and it wasn’t long before I caved. I love how simple the actual “soup”…
How To Roast A Pumpkin
If you’re looking for the winner of the CSN store giveaway, I announce it at the end of this post. Have you ever been stuck with something you have no idea what to do with? This week in our CSA baskets we were gifted with a pumpkin. A pumpkin?! First off, I had no idea…
