Cranberry Pistachio Baked Oatmeal
When did buying a dress become so difficult?? I spent HOURS downtown yesterday, trying on ten bajillion dresses (and a few sassy jumpsuits!) in search of the perfect one for a fancy holiday party on Saturday. Did I succeed? Um, no. Not really. It is HARD! Mostly, I think my Portland dirtbagness has overtaken my…

This butter pecan cookie recipe will become a holiday favorite! They’re easy to make and full of classic holiday flavors, everyone will love them! Oh haaay Monday!

Coconut Sugar Classic Pumpkin Pie
Today I’m sending you guys over to Nutiva’s blog, The Kitchen Table, to check out a classic pumpkin pie recipe I developed for them! The recipe uses coconut sugar in place of cane sugar, and red palm oil (sustainably farmed in Ecuador) in place of butter. If you need a dairy-free crust, this one is…
Brown Butter Lime Shortbread Cookies
LAST MINUTE COOKIE EXTRAVAGANZA! Okay, not really and extravaganza — but I thought you should get pumped up! I made these cookies last week and have not gotten over the texture and the LIME that basically assaults your tastebuds. In a good way. Like a surprise bear-hug. These cookies are totally something I’d made mid-summer,…
Baked Pumpkin French Toast
I know it’s almost Christmas, and many of you have fallen off the pumpkin-train. I’m here to tell you to GET. BACK. ON. Seriously, there is no reason pumpkin needs to be shunned after Thanksgiving. It’s still totally delicious! For those of you in less-than-arctic climates, you might even still have IN SEASON PUMPKINS. Oh…

Cranberry Brown Sugar Crispy Treats
Holiday paralysis has hit me! I should be producing all sorts of lovely gift guides, cookie compilations, blah blah blah, and yet I’m stuck in indecision on what to do next!

White Chocolate Candy Cane Cashew Butter
While this nut butter isn’t in my Nut Butters cookbook, you should definitely check out the book if you haven’t already! It has twenty creative nut butter recipes, PLUS twenty ways to use them (more than just as a dip!). Perhaps I’ll include this recipe in the next edition! It is COLD COLD COLD here…

We’re at it again with the cranberry! In case you’re worried it will end soon: fear not! I have plenty of cranberry left to share with you before the holiday season is over! For those of you rolling your eyes in exasperation at the abundance of cranberry in my life, um… you might want to…
Chocolate Pecan Pie
Clearly, I love pecans. Their rich, buttery flavor is perfect! In the last month I’ve posted pecan cupcakes , cookies, more cookies, and pancakes – so why not follow up with a pie?! I’m a bit picky about my pecan pies: they cannot be too gooey. There is little more disappointing than biting into a…
