Slow-Cooked Cinnamon Applesauce
It’s my first Apple Week recipe! I am starting the week with my new favorite recipe. Now maybe it’s my awesome Apple Hill apples. But this is the sweetest most delicious and satisfying applesauce I’ve ever tasted, and I had no idea a simple dish like applesauce could be so incredibly wonderful. Plus, it took […]

Roasted Brussels Sprouts w/ Caramelized Onions
The other day I whipped up this quick dinner and just kept throwing things together, and it turned out so beautiful and delicious I had to snap some pictures and make a post of it! I had very little left in my fridge aside from a big bag of Brussels sprouts to use up – […]

I’m adding more […]

Moscato & Cinnamon Poached Pears
I love this pretty little dessert! It’s beautiful and elegant, and very light. Plus way simpler than you’d think. You really just have to throw some things in a pot to simmer and peel some pears. Yes, it’s that easy.

Smoky Sauteed Carrots
You know those days when you’ve planned to make a delicious meal for dinner, you’re cooking, getting excited for the deliciousness you put so much thought and effort into.

Zucchini Crisps
Crispy slices of baked zucchini! Yum! This is one of those recipes I make so often that it didn’t really seem like something fun and special to put on the blog. Weird how that works, since I make it so much because it’s simple and delicious and healthy and everything I look for in […]

Sage Mango Sweet Potato Hash
Awhile ago, in my Amador County Wine Tasting post, I showed off a gigantic yam that I used for a favorite sage sweet potato hash (yes, a yam for a sweet potato hash. You can use either. I’m using a yam, but this is from a recipe for sweet potatoes, so I’m still calling […]
