Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good

Pumpkin Stuffed with Everything Good

Now, I know that I’ve been quite the delinquent lately.  For this, I apologize.  But you didn’t think I’d let the week before Thanksgiving go by without so much as a peep, did you?  There are too many fabulous food-related things to talk about this

Truffled Macaroni and Cheese with Prosciutto, Leeks, and Mushrooms

Good news!  We are officially in autumn territory!  That means that all I want to do these days is go apple picking, roast pumpkin seeds, watch leaves change colors, breathe in crisp air, wear sweaters, drink cider, and oh yeah… eat all kinds of food

Baked Chicken Meatballs with Peperonata

  “What’s for dinner tonight?”  Almost every day, I hear this question at least two or three times- from my husband, from my co-workers, from myself.  And let me tell you something.  I am very,very tired of answering, “Chicken.”  No thank you.  I’m over it.
