I’m a big fan of potatoes, and if you are too, here’s a wonderful, buttery, potato side dish for you to try—Red Potatoes with Clarified Butter, Onions, and Rosemary.

Sourdough Sage Dressing
I really like making recipes with fresh sage! I usually grow sage in the summer, along with some other herbs. It gives savory baked goods such a great flavor. Since stuffing and dressing recipes are on everyone’s mind during the Thanksgiving and holiday seasons, and since I’m a big fan of sourdough bread, I thought…

Pumpkin Oat Bread
I’ve been baking up a lot of pumpkin bread this season, and this is a new idea I tried—Pumpkin Oat Bread! It’s always nice when you can include oatmeal in your baking and “healthy up” your baked goods a little, right? 🙂 This pumpkin bread is sweet but not overly sweet, and I love the…

Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Pumpkin Bread
Ever since the weather has gotten cooler, I’ve been in this “pumpkin bread-baking” mood. I had recently baked up a Pumpkin-Pecan Bread, which is really good, and I thought I’d try making one that was more about brown sugar-and-cinnamon, since those are such great fall flavors! And that’s how this Brown Sugar-Cinnamon Pumpkin Bread came…

Creamy Pumpkin Soup
I first made this Creamy Pumpkin Soup on a chilly, rainy day a few autumns ago and it was just what I needed to warm up! Not only that, but it felt great to enjoy a creamy soup that was healthy, too. So often, creamy soups are made with high-fat ingredients, but this soup has…

Sausage Balls
The first time I had sausage balls, quite a few years ago, I thought they were amazingly good and I’ve been hooked on them ever since! They’re perfect for breakfast, brunches or potlucks–—easy to make, and easy to take. And just about everyone loves them!
