Sherry Charred Brussels Sprouts

November 20, 2013 by Cate 16 Comments

These Sherry Charred Brussels Sprouts are my new favorite way to cook this veggie! The brussels sprouts are so easy to make, and are so flavorful!

It is Thanksgiving Week day 3! So far we’ve had Haricots Verts and Stuffing (TheBetterHalf’s favorite) and now it is time for my favorite – Brussels Sprouts! I know, it is hard to believe that I choose brussels over pie, but it is true. I just love brussels sprouts! There is something about their flavor -when they get all browned and crispy that I just can’t resist.

We eat brussels sprouts all the time, especially in the winter. I have no self control around them – I actually have to make only two (large) servings or else I just won’t stop eating them. I usually roast them in a 400 degree oven tossed in some olive oil, salt, and pepper. But for our Thanksgiving Week, I decided to try a new recipe, one for the best brussels sprouts that I have ever eaten.

Pumpkin Yeast Bread

November 16, 2013 by Cate 16 Comments

Pumpkin, cinnamon, and pumpkin pie spice are mixed into a traditional white yeast bread. This Pumpkin Yeast Bread is so light and fluffy – perfect for toast or sandwiches!

It is no secret that I’m putting pumpkin in everything these days. I talked about it earlier this week when I made pumpkin coffee cake. It is also no secret that I love to bake bread! Just look at all of these recipes. It is really one of my favorite things to do on a lazy Sunday. There is nothing better than the smell of freshly baked bread in your house. TheBetterHalf is pretty spoiled – I can’t remember the last time we had store bought bread!…

Brown Butter Rice Krispies Treats

November 14, 2013 by Cate 14 Comments

I really can’t remember the last time I had a rice krispie treat. They are such a childhood favorite, but now I just never think about making them, and I don’t really come across them very often in bakeries and coffee shops. I was flipping through the Flour cookbook the other night and saw a recipe for brown butter rice krispies treats. Um, yum! I knew I had to try them!…

Butternut Squash Potstickers with Sriracha Ginger Dipping Sauce

November 7, 2013 by Cate 18 Comments

I am a huge fan of butternut squash. I get so excited when I see it popping up all over markets and on restaurant menus in the fall. I like to buy the packages of precut cubes. It just seems much safer to me…every time I take the giant chef’s knife to a whole butternut squash I come perilously close to losing a finger.

Usually we just roast our butternut squash – toss it in some olive oil, salt and pepper and roast for 20 mins at 400 degrees. Simple and delicious. But I decided to branch out with my latest butternut squash purchase and make potstickers. Wow. Amazing. New favorite recipe! This was my first time making potstickers and I have to say, I was pretty darn proud of myself. Look at these beauties! I was pretty much dancing around the apartment when they were finished. …

These baked Cinnamon Roll Donuts, drizzled with cream cheese icing, give you all the delicious cinnamon roll flavor without the hassle of baking cinnamon rolls!

According to this handy little website, it is Donut / Doughnut Appreciation Day! I know there is a National Donut Day in June, but I fully support having two days a year when we can celebrate the mighty Donut. If you follow my blog regularly, you probably think that I celebrate donuts on a weekly basis. I have been obsessed with making them ever since I bought this amazing donut pan! I decided that I had to celebrate this holiday with baked Cinnamon Roll Donuts with Cream Cheese Icing….
