With some of the coldest weather of the year on its way, it's time to pay a bit of homage to the incredible kitchen tool that is the crockpot. A pile of great recipes for your slow cooker await you this week. We begin with a chili recipe that's packed with lots of healthy vegetables and legumes and really packs a flavor punch!
A trio of flavor superstars come together to inspire a wonderful autumn-focused dessert that could easily star in your Thanksgiving dessert. But why wait that long! After all, you'll want to test it, right?
As cooler weather settles in and pumpkin becomes a focus in everything from coffee to coffeecake, it's time to remember that it can also star in some amazing savory dishes. Just in time for the weekend, a fantastic curry featuring pumpkin and either venison or lean beef is ready to be enjoyed.
Faced with at least 3 cups of freshly roasted, pureed pumpkin and looking at much more down the road, I'm asking for advice on what to do with it all. Yep, that's right. Sometimes the foodie is simply overwhelmed and it's nice to reach out for ideas when that happens.
Fall bring pumpkin this and pumpkin spice that and, you know what? I adore it. What's not to love about something like rich pumpkin cheesecake that blends the flavors of cheesecake and pumpkin pie with a crust that's infused with the best of pumpkin spice? Yeah, I couldn't think of anything, either. Then add some crunchy pecans and velvety caramel-rum sauce and you've got a perfect fall dessert.
A perfect slice of toast, buttery croissant or soft muffin can be a lovely quick breakfast. But adding the right spread to any one of those transforms it from an adequate beginning to the day to something special. And this time of year, there's something simply festive about homemade pumpkin butter. You'll be surprised at how easy it is to make it.
In a week known for over-indulgent dinners, finding a way to enjoy a festive breakfast without taxing your calorie budget for the day can be a challenge. However, we've got just the right blend of seasonal pumpkin and sweet chocolate chips in a tidy little package for you to enjoy!
Part of the autumn season involves incorporating pumpkin into recipes both sweet and savory. So hot, crumbly scones studded with chocolate and packed with pumpkin are a lovely addition to the cravings of the festive breakfast season.
Pumpkin waffles are easy to put together and help add an element of festivity to any weekend breakfast. Although this time of year inspires me to make large, fancy brunches featuring waffles like these, scones or muffins, egg dishes and bacon or sausage. Then, I don't eat for the rest of the day!
A popular seasonal muffin offered in coffee shops across the country finds a makeover and a happy home in my kitchen. Add fantastic vacuum-brewed coffee to that and I have no reason to seek out coffee shops. I've got the best they have to offer in my nest and I can wear slippers while enjoying it all!
