The summer we lived in Portland our friends invited us to their wedding followed by one of the most perfect receptions I’ve ever attended. There was a tent. There were close friends. There was an angry mob across the street protesting foie gras. There was dancing to bluegrass music even though no one knew what the hell they were doing. It was chaos and madness and beauty. There was lemon blueberry and chocolate ganache cake, which I embraced two slices of....

We learned this lesson the hard way. Gluten-Free Oat Flour I first made oat roti (unleavened flatbread) by grinding up oats that I found in the bulk section of a grocery store. The flour seemed pliable and easy to work with, and I was very happy with the results. My husband loved the taste, but unfortunately, it didn’t sit well with him. He has celiac disease so his symptoms flared up....

With fall officially upon us, there’s simply not much I can do in the way of restraining my pumpkin fever. And this recipe is one of my favorite creations thus far. It’s a two-layer bark: dark chocolate on bottom and white chocolate infused with pumpkin pie spice on top. The sprinkles? Almonds, pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries. How very delectable and healthy. The flavor combination is exquisite. Plenty of decadence from the dark chocolate, a sweet yet spicy addition from the pumpkin-infused white chocolate, and lots of irresistible crunch from the fruit and nuts....

I don’t like that I turn up my nose at criticism, that I have no self control around cake and ice cream (no literally, none), and rush through things often overlooking the details. But the one thing that really bugs me about myself (did I really just say that?) is that I have to be reminded far too often of what I’m working toward in life, what I’m passionate about, and what I’m good at....

Next, we make a strawberry purée to concentrate the sweet strawberry flavor without adding too much moisture....

But other nights, we agree to disagree and go our separate ways. And on those nights I usually make a big green salad. This salad is one that I’ve been making recently when I’m craving Thai food but don’t have time to make anything complicated....

This cookies-n-cream creation was one of my absolute favorite desserts growing up and now that I’m an adult not much has changed, except for the fact that dairy gives me the queezies now.

The ladies at Lunchboxbunch and Oh, Ladycakes helped me on this one and I finally got a version that actually whipped up like the real stuff!...

I could go on and on about fall. But instead, I’ll share this very fall-appropriate recipe that’s totally comforting and utilizes my new love, Pumpkin Sage Biscuits.
