This is the story of the pumpkin who believed it could so it did. Every post I write revolving around fall food mentions my love of other fall foods like apple pie and maple lattes, but guys let's be honest with ourselves - we love these things, but they can get expensive. Apple picking can… Continue reading Recipe: Pumpkin Puree
Fall means a number of things: It's now socially acceptable to have a PSL glued to your hand at all time. Leggings and over-sized sweaters are also acceptable. Apple picking, pumpkin craving and all the baking that comes with those can commence. Chili becomes a staple in my house. I make a two kinds of… Continue reading Recipe: Crockpot White Chicken Chili
At this point, it's pretty clear to most that if I have bananas turning on the counter, I'm probably going to make banana bread with them - or something similar. Since we're not quite into the holiday season yet, I'm lacking in some supplies like all-purpose flour. We buy a large bag from BJ's Wholesale… Continue reading Recipe: Flourless Banana Muffins (gluten-free, oil-free)
It's passed Labor Day and I feel confident to indulge in everything fall. I know there's about three arguments to the pumpkin spice ideas - all for it, all against, "you do you".

Last year when we moved into our apartment, aside from the fitness center, one of the outdoor amenities that really excited us, was the grilling. We have access to both charcoal and gas grills. While charcoal is perfect… Continue reading Recipe: Grilled Chicken Shawarma Skewers
Pizza is a weakness. I'm not the only one that feels this way. We don't really order take out because I'm going to want to eat the whole thing. No amount of lifestyle change has made an impact on how I feel about pizza. I've talked about my own struggles with food and there are… Continue reading Recipe: Classic and Thin Crust with Philly Cheesesteak Pizza

It's single digits and with the wind, we're hitting negative temperatures. I live in New England and every year I repeat silently, I did it to myself. I like it here, but no amount of time makes it easier dealing with the snow, the bitter cold or plastic wrapping my windows. Yes, for those in… Continue reading Recipe: Broccoli Cheddar Soup
