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”.
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.
This overnight steel cut oats recipe is so ridiculously easy. Honestly, I don’t know why anyone buys the frozen stuff at Trader Joe’s.
Yes, you can buy frozen pre-cooked steel cut oats at TJ’s but with a wee bit of planning - you can make your own.
Healthy apple recipes are so simple to create. The apple is such a perfect fruit – sweet, crunchy, and it bakes well.
My part of the country features apples everywhere! In my backyard, driving to my children’s school, in the stores, farmers markets, and roadside stands. I can’t get enough apples and I will be swimming in them for months.
This lentil pasta sauce is my kind of recipe. Delicious, inexpensive, and it can be served on just about anything.
Why use lentils instead of ground beef? They are a fraction of the cost and most of the flavor in tomato sauce is due to the tomatoes. You don’t really need meat (though I do admit that meat is quite luxurious).
You got zucchinis? I have got a chocolate chip zucchini bread recipe for you.
This uses up 3 medium zucchinis! I know people have too many zucchinis in August and this bread will freeze well.
These 30 minute healthy mains will stop you from even considering the drive thru.
We have all been there – running on empty, thinking that you would rather just pick something up than cook – but don’t do it. You will feel so much better if you make a quick meal that is fresh, tasty, and good for you.
Lasagna is one of those foods that top favorite foods lists and so I came up with baked zucchini lasagna to help lighten this classic.
My son, not unlike Garfield, hasn’t met a lasagna he doesn’t like. Honestly, the kid could eat his own tray of the stuff if we let him (always trying to get him to eat his salad before he can have seconds, thirds, etc.). I decided to update my lasagna because of him.
