Roasted winter squash and grapes are topped with the most exquisite maple pomegranate sauce. It is a perfect side dish for fall!
You need this side dish like a a mom needs a vat of coffee (or maybe a coffee IV infusion??) at Daylight Savings Time.
ASK ME HOW I KNOW.
A roasted cauliflower and cheese pizza served atop a bed of al taglio pizza dough. It is the easiest and best dough you’ll ever make from scratch!
Not only am I a full-blooded New Yorker, but I also come from a long line of pizza makers, so pizza is kind of a big deal in my life.
Also it’s basically the only thing my child eats, so.
Ever since moving out of our old neighborhood two and a half years ago we have yet to find really great classic New York pizza place. That sounds crazy being that we live in midtown Manhattan, but it’s true. A lot of times we will find a place we think is really good but then every other pizza delivery is kind of meh. It is so disheartening!!
So basically, I’ve been making my own pizza a whole lot and for the most part it’s been good, but not great.
Until now.
So it’s definitely November and I’m COMPLETELY in denial about it. There’s so much going on this month, like my sister-in-law’s bridal shower next week for which I volunteered/was asked to make a hundred cupcakes. Still haven’t chosen exactly what to make yet for that, thanks for asking. It’s going to be an interesting week. I’m probably going with the chocolate and vanilla cupcakes from the Bravetart cookbook namely because they are the best, but also because they each make a batch of about 40 cupcakes. I think then half will be chocolate frosted and the other half will have salted caramel buttercream. I’m also thinking of making a batch of the maple cupcakes that are in the blog archives because everyone loves maple and they are one of my favorite cupcakes of all time!
Anyway, enough about cupcakes!! Let’s talk real food and this week’s healthy vegetarian meal plan. Here’s what we’re cooking:
Happy eating!
With white chocolate, chocolate chips, AND cocoa powder these double (and by double I mean triple) chocolate cookies are a chocolate lover’s dream!
Obviously the day after Halloween, when you’ve just eaten ALL THE CHOCOLATE, is exactly the right time to make double (eerrr TRIPLE) chocolate cookies.
You wouldn’t want to go into chocolate withdrawal, after all. Nope, best to wean slowly.
One XXL cookie at a time.
Fusilli with ricotta, parmesan and black pepper is the ultimate bowl of cheesy comfort. Serve with roasted vegetables on the side.
I see you, Wednesday.
And I DARE you to bring me down because tonight we’re making the easiest cheesiest creamiest pasta ever and nothing will get in the way of our carb-loaded happiness.
An easy side dish of roasted butternut squash with sweet corn salsa, feta, and pumpkin seeds.
So, I have this kid, right?
And she LIIIVVEESSS on quesadillas.
Mostly the cheese only kind. That kid can sniff out a schmear of refried beans better than a security dog can sniff out heroin.
