Pantry Organization – #POPtober Challenge with OXO

October 13, 2014 by Cate 3 Comments

I am an extremely organized person. Schedules and to-do lists and calendars: I love all of them. But when it comes to keeping my cabinets organized…well that, I am not quite as good at. I like to make excuses and blame the fact that I don’t have enough space in my small apartment for everything, but I know that my pantry could be a lot more organized. And that is why I was eager to accept OXO’s #POPtober Challenge!

OXO kindly sent me an assortment of their POP Containers to use to organize my pantry. What a fun project! No really, I enjoy things like this a lot. I took literally every single thing out of my cabinets and reorganized all of it.

Light and fluffy buttermilk Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls are topped with Cheese Frosting – the ultimate fall breakfast! They can be made overnight so that you can wake up to fresh rolls!

Happy Friday!!! And welcome to the final day of PUMPKIN WEEK! I hope you enjoyed all the pumpkin goodness this week – I know that I sure enjoyed eating all of it! If you scroll down to the bottom of the page, there is a round-up of all the pumpkin recipes in case you missed any.

I saved the best for last…Pumpkin Cinnamon Rolls with Cream Cheese Frosting!! Pumpkin adds so much flavor and a beautiful color to the light and fluffy buttermilk dough. Pumpkin pie spice mixed with cinnamon gives the filling a distinct pumpkin-y flavor. And cream cheese frosting tops it all off. These rolls are absolutely delicious and could not be prettier. This is what I call a showstopper of a fall breakfast!

Add some fall flavors to your morning bagel with Pumpkin Cream Cheese! It is so easy to make and tastes delicious – a simple way to make breakfast special!

Welcome to day 4 of PUMPKIN WEEK! In case you missed my other posts, I have dedicated this week to all pumpkin recipes. Donuts and waffles and skinny bread – I can’t get enough pumpkin!

Today I’m taking a break from baking and making something super easy – Pumpkin Cream Cheese! This is the perfect thing to whip up if you want your breakfast to be special, but just don’t have the time to turn on the oven or make something complex. A little Pumpkin Cream Cheese on a store bought bagel is a great option for a fall breakfast treat that is delicious and impressive, but super easy!

Skinny Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread is full of delicious flavor and has the most amazing texture, with very little fat! A light way to enjoy a fall treat!

We are halfway through PUMPKIN WEEK! So far we have Pumpkin Donuts and Pumpkin Waffles. Today, I am lightening things up a bit with Skinny Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread. I love trying to make baked goods skinnier when I can, especially when you can barely tell the difference! This bread is super moist and is full of great flavor, but has very little fat. And there are chocolate chips, which make everything taste better!

Meet Martha Stewart at Macy’s in NYC on 9/23!

September 15, 2014 by Cate 4 Comments

To all of my NYC friends – what are you doing Sept. 23 at 6pm? Hopefully you are joining me at Macy’s to meet Martha Stewart! Martha will be hosting a special book signing of her fabulous new cookbook, One Pot. I can’t wait to get my hands on this book – it is full of over 120 recipes, all using only one pot! These are just the kinds of recipes I love after a busy day.

Fun Fact: Martha Stewart was my very first celeb sighting when I moved to NYC 7 years ago! I was at a dinner at Scalinatella and she was having dinner at the next table! I was quite excited about it 🙂 .
