This soft and fluffy Fig and Walnut Bread is the perfect recipe to bring to a holiday gathering or keep on hand for an everyday bread. Studded with chunks of walnuts and mission figs with warming cardamom notes.
I am a big bread fan..like a BIG bread fan. I always want to be in charge of making the freshly baked bread for thanksgiving and being responsible for making the house smell like freshly baked bread…because everyone will love you even more for that.
…A rich mushroom gravy to drown your mashed potatoes and stuffing in. I mean who likes gravyless potatoes anyways? With all the right herbs and umami flavor…this gravy hits the spot.
If you are not a fan of mushrooms I suggest dicing the mushrooms into small pieces of even slightly blitzing them in a food processor. The gravy presents a rich umami flavor that doesn’t taste too strong of mushrooms. Just a tip, because I know my sister absolutely despises mushrooms, but if I prepare the gravy a bit differently she is all over it.
…Roasted green beans topped with crispy pumpkin seeds. It’s the perfect balance of sweet and salty and are extremely easy to prepare and cook.
Spice up your roasted green beans with a crunchy, sweet and salty topping. These pumpkin seeds cooked with olive oil, maple syrup, coriander, cinnamon, and salt will amaze your tastebuds.
…Days are getting shorter (unfortunately), leaves are changing, the mornings are crispy and foggy…and the weather is getting colder. I don’t know about you, but my way of cozying up and getting warm is turning on the oven and baking up a storm. Comforting for your body, but most importantly comforting for your soul and tastebuds.
From warm, hearty soups utilizing seasonal vegetables, to comforting baked goods embodied in warming spices and seasonal fruits. I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite recipes that you will “fall” in love with this season. From autumn-inspired pasta dishes, to apple bread studded with candied pecans…you drooling too?
…Ask me what my favorite meal of the day is and I will always say breakfast. Ask me what my favorite breakfast item is and I will always say oatmeal. That being said, I always love to come up with different oatmeal recipes and this one is perfect for the fall season. Nothing like freshly baked sweet potato pecan baked oatmeal to warm up to on those cold mornings.
Sweetened with maple syrup and spiced with cinnamon. The sweet potato pairs perfectly with the crunchy & sweet pecan topping. Serve with a drizzle of maple syrup and if you’re a peanut butter fan like me…a generous spoonful of peanut butter.
A perfect serving of pecans in every bite. You may think that putting sweet potato in oatmeal is a bit of odd. But with the right pairing of sweetness from the maple syrup and spice from the cinnamon..it’s simply delicious!
This is a great breakfast to save for the rest of the week. Just store in an airtight container in the fridge and warm up in the microwave or stovetop for a couple of minutes.
…Am I overdoing it with the pumpkin recipes? Definitely not. If I am being completely honest I have had a pumpkin flavored dessert every single day for the past week and a half. Am I ashamed? Not even in the slightest.
So here is another pumpkin recipe to feed not only my cravings, but I am sure many others who are in the same boat. These Pumpkin Spice Poptarts are so buttery, flaky, and are the perfect fall dessert for all ages. Yes these are gluten-free…no these are not dry (in the slightest).
Not only are these pop tarts 100% gluten-free and vegan, but they are refined sugar-free as well.
Don’t feel intimidated when looking at this recipe. I assure you it’s a lot easier than you think to prepare.
The dough is only made out of 5 ingredients: GF flour, coconut sugar, salt, vegan butter, and milk. Filling is 4 ingredients: pumpkin puree, coconut sugar, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice. The icing is also only 4 ingredients: coconut milk, maple syrup, pumpkin spice, and coconut oil.
