Easy Stir Fried Vegetables and Tofu
It has been oh-so-gently suggested to me that if someone were to read my blog, they might get the idea that I live on nothing but cookies and cakes. Let’s pretend they are wrong and talk about vegetables for a minute. At the ripe old age of [redacted], I have come to accept that vegetables…

Apple Crumble Pie with Pecan Topping (Dutch Apple Pie?)
I’ve always heard this kind of pie referred to as Dutch apple pie, although I have no idea whether this is accurate or not. I will say that wherever this apple pie comes from, the people who developed it are a patient bunch. I usually try to avoid 2 day recipes, but I’m sorry to…

Dill Pickle Soup
Did you cringe when you read that phrase? I did when I saw it on a menu in a cute little restaurant up the street from where I lived. The waiter saw my reaction and we made a bet: if I didn’t like the soup then lunch was on him. Needless to say, I paid…

Pumpkin Spice Bread with Dates and Pecans (Updated!)
We seem to instinctually know the moment that pumpkin spice begins. Our collective alarm clocks go off as soon as the first leaf turns yellow, and we all start trading our sandals for fuzzy socks. But when does pumpkin spice season end? Is it the day the trick-or-treaters finish the last of their candy? Or…

Pear-Stuffed Cardamom Bread
This bread is very loosely inspired by Swedish pulla bread. The cardamom gives warmth and a bit of je ne sais quoi to a rich and soft bread and the pears melt into a delicious filling. Are you sold yet? If not, you should know that this bread is also incredibly easy to make, but…
