Homemade Cranberry Sauce
I was never much of a fan of cranberry sauce as a kid, but I like it now, especially if it’s homemade. When I reviewed the book In Winter’s Kitchen by Beth Dooley a few years ago, I found a recipe for cranberry sauce which I decided I had to try, since I’ve never made homemade cranberry sauce.

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.

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…

Stovetop Apple-Cinnamon Butter
Several friends have given me homemade apple butter the last few years—it makes a wonderful food gift, especially around the holidays. I discovered you can make apple butter with the slow cooker or on the stovetop, and for my first try I decided to make a stovetop version.

Maple-Oat Muffins
Breakfast just seems more like breakfast when maple syrup is involved! And in the fall and winter seasons, I like to use maple syrup in my recipes. These Maple-Oat Muffins have pure maple syrup in them and oatmeal is also an ingredient, so I like to think they’re a little healthy, too! 🙂
