    Cinnamon Baked Apple Slices

    This is a rare, two-ingredient side, and I can guarantee your family will love it. We eat cinnamon baked apple slices almost every Sunday with chicken, peas and salad to reset our system after Saturdays spent eating pizza, brownies and other unwholesome things. I’m going to go out on a limb and say these apples…

  • Easy Spiced Plum Crumble

    When I was a little girl, the mother of one of my closest friends used to make the most delicious nectarine crisp. Our family liked it so much that my mom borrowed the recipe and made it nearly every week for a month straight largely at my request. I couldn’t get enough of it. To…

  • Heart Shaped Cookies

    I’ve always loved Valentine’s Day. It is, in fact, my favorite holiday. I know it’s commercially created and completely made-up. I’ve heard it all. Blah, blah, blah. I don’t care.

    For fall, I took my usual granola recipe and switched it up with pumpkin and warm spices. The result is a sweet and hearty snack that’s perfect for the season. I put almonds and pecans in mine, but you could use any nut mix you’d like. Also, feel free to adjust the spices to your taste. The possibilities…

  • At the Market: Grilled Plum Crumble

    With their beautiful deep color, plums make a pretty addition to a dinner plate. With this recipe, I created a healthier version of a plum crumble. Pecans, spiced yogurt, brown sugar and butter, add a decadent touch to this in season fruit. Creamy and buttery, it’s the perfect ending to a summer meal.

  • Cinnamon Sugar Peaches

    This dish isn’t really a recipe, so much as an easy way to jazz up peaches. Cinnamon and brown sugar combine to create a light syrup for sliced peaches. Chopped walnuts add crunch, and a honey-yogurt sauce adds a bit of cream. The taste is warm and decadent, but the ingredients are fairly virtuous. Try it tonight with…
