These sweet smoky roasted brussels sprouts and acorn squash rings make the perfect fall veggie side dish!

This time of year always afflicts me with side stress.
Not, like…stress in my side.

This pizza-sized galette is filled with a savory butternut squash, caramelized onion, and cheesy mix that will leave you craving slice after slice!

If you’ve spent your life up to this point imagining galettes as a pinkies up kind of food, so fragile that any local shift in atmospheric temperature and pressure will almost certainly break them. Well, this is the bull in the proverbial china shop.

Homemade chocolate pudding in a graham cracker crust – chocolate pudding pie just like mom always used to make it (but homemade)!

Hi. Sorry.
Sorry for (in my mind, heart, and soul) promising you a salted caramel pie today.
Sorry for trusting a certain foodie magazine and not my gut instinct when it told me to pour liquid gold (aka sweetened condensed milk) into a glass pan, cover it tightly and then bake it for two hours so that it could turn into smooth silky almost burnt sugar gold.
Sorry when it all turned to chunky beige mush instead.
This curried chickpea stew is full of great flavor from all of the warm Indian spices it’s infused with!

Give a man a curry and you feed him for a day.

With an infusion of maple and bourbon, and a rich chocolate crust, this pumpkin pie is bound to be a holiday favorite!

The.Boy and I are making great strides towards ridding ourselves of our trust issues.
Like, for instance, last weekend when he allowed me to bring a blowtorch into our apartment.
And use it. Within a three foot radius of him.
Let’s just say that was probably the most tense five minutes of our relationship. Possibly of our lives. Hopefully ever again. Fingers crossed.

Panzanella gets an autumnal Middle Eastern infusion when toasted whole wheat bread cubes are tossed with sumac-roasted root veggies and a pomegranate roasted red pepper vinaigrette, making for a hearty salad or vegetarian main dish.

I’m the kind of girl who likes to spread the whole grain love.
And my family are the kind of people who projectile vomit when I try to shove barley down their throats.
If that hasn’t stopped me yet, then, honey.
Nothing will.
