A gooey, soft Ginger Molasses Cookie Skillet. What better way to start off this holiday season with a decadent…holiday cookie (but like 5x bigger)?
It’s that time of year where there are abundant holiday cookies, cakes, pies…you name it. Although it is perfectly healthy to enjoy these foods around this time of year, it is always nice to have less-refined alternatives to your favorite desserts.
…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.
…With a creamy, perfectly spiced pumpkin filling and buttery, flaky crust this pie will definitely win over your thanksgiving guests. I guarantee they won’t guess it is entirely free of eggs and dairy.
The thought of not being able to have a pie on thanksgiving terrifies me. I mean that IS the best part of a Thanksgiving meal right? Don’t get me wrong, I am a huge fan of apple pie, but something about pumpkin is so nostalgic for me.
…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.
…I mean pumpkin, tahini, and chocolate? Sounds like the ultimate trio to me. It’s seasonal, nutty, and ultra chocolatey. Double the batch if you want to make two servings…kidding only a little.
Ultra fudgy, moist, and will simply melt in your mouth. With all the right ingredients these are entirely gluten-free, refined sugar-free, and of course plant-based. Embedded with chunks of dark chocolate, sweetened with coconut sugar, with a bit of tahini for the perfect nutty flavor in every bite.
I kind of don’t want to go on about this recipe, so we can get straight into how to make this, but let me just give you a run down on these bad boys.
