Apple Pie-O-Lantern and Spiked Spiced Cider
With fall apon us (and threatening to surrender us completely to winter), few things sound better to me right now than warm baked goods utilizing the fruits that are in season. For dessert last night, Megan made this awesomely adorable and seasonally appropriate apple pie-o-lantern. There wasn’t much to it, store bought crust, Megan’s mom’s [...]

Hearty Harvest Hash & Cheesy Corn Muffins with Fresh Cayenne Peppers
It is beautiful outside right now here in Nashville. It’s sunny, 70º and out my window I can see the leaves delicately floating toward the ground.

Savory Butternut Squash and Potato Tart with Bacon and Herb Cream Sauce
First things first: it’s been a while. Too long. Between celebratory festivities and an enormous project at work, I’ve been slammed. Unfortunately, that has resulted in less time for the full-on cooking and documenting of said full-onness. I promise I’ll try to do better, but I make no promises. And now on to our irregularly [...]
