Pumpkin Banana Bundt Cake
If you’re looking for something lighter, but still decadent tasting, this is your cake. It is lightened up with the use of banana and Greek yogurt instead of butter or oil. Honestly, no one would know. The texture of this cake is rich, spongy and chewy all at the same time. The flavors are ...

Curried Pumpkin Sweet Potato Soup

Apple Streusel Bread
One of my weaknesses as a kid was coffee cake. There is just something so satisfying about the crumble texture and the streusel. I distinctly remember my dad and I buying an Entenmann’s coffee cake on a Sunday morning and usually finishing it between the two of us by the end of the day. Well, ...

Paleo Cauliflower Gnocchi with Creamy Garlic Spinach Sauce
Gnocchi is such a fun food to me. Little soft pillows that soak up flavor. Traditionally, these little dumplings are made from potatoes, but it seems in this day in age they can be made from any vegetable! Trader Joe’s came out with their infamous cauliflower gnocchi a couple years back, and I ...
Smoky Tahini Carbonara Pasta Sauce
There is nothing like a creamy sauce over some pasta. Probably one of my favorite comforts in life is curling up on a cool fall day with a big bowl. This tahini based sauce is seriously tantalizing to the taste buds. It has a cheesy flavor coupled with a little bit of smoke that comes from the ...
