Welcome!

This roasted acorn squash is a breeze. We can all use a recipe that makes our lives easier.

I love acorn squash because of its color and shape. Doesn’t it look like it just landed from a spaceship?

This simple homemade apple pie filling will warm your body and heart.

I have seen jars of apple pie filling sold at specialty stores and I always thought that was a great idea. You can use it to pair with ice cream, on pancakes, or on its own for a treat.

Time to buy a big beautiful pumpkin and a few cans of pureed pumpkin to make pie.

Wait? Did I say pie? I must have slipped up because I meant chili. pumpkinchiliingredients

These roasted pumpkin seeds are brought to you by fall. We need to enjoy the simple things like pumpkins.

I go a little nuts when I see the pumpkins show up at farm stands, Trader Joe’s, and my local supermarket. I just want to hug them!! (and buy them before I hug them)

These apple oatmeal bars are for the crunchy leaves and crisp weather of fall. Don’t you start craving oatmeal when you have to rake your lawn?

I do!! Here is my healthy baked oatmeal

This cottage cheese waffle recipe is made with a blender and I love how easy it is.

Whirrr, pour, cook, DONE!!

I happen to love to use my waffle iron for all sorts of things other than waffles. If you haven’t tried my waffle iron banana bread or my waffle iron grilled apple you are missing out.

This crustless pumpkin pie recipe is so easy and you don't miss the crust!

I do a simple homemade apple pie filling so it is a little silly that I didn’t think of making a crustless pumpkin pie. You could also call this dessert “Pumpkin Custard” but I don’t think that sounds as delicious as “pie”.

This vegetarian black bean soup recipe should be printed out and put in your favorite recipe spot.

I love black beans. I put them in black bean brownie mix and I make a Copycat Chipotle black beans.

Healthy fall recipes feature squash, pumpkin, turkey, apples, and more squash. This time of year is filled with tasty food that is inexpensive and accessible.

I live in “FALL CENTRAL” AKA New England which is the place to celebrate fall. After many years in an office without a window, I am now looking out at the brilliant colors of fall foliage as I write this. It is spectacular.

This chicken fajita recipe is made in the slow cooker. I know it would be more fun if it was sizzling in a pan but I don’t always have time for that.

Have you ever been to a restaurant where they show up with a sizzling pan of fajitas? Oh man, the whole restaurant looks up because it smells sooo good. Fajitas are usually a healthier choice because they are grilled and lack the ubiquitous pound of cheese that shows up on enchiladas.
