While visiting my family over thanksgiving weekend, a lovely friend of ours gave us a heap of vegetables fresh from her garden including some leeks, a big bag of potatoes, squash, eggplant and some fresh bay leaves. The first thing I made with them was this creamy potato leek soup with bacon.
Rosemary Focaccia
How often do you find yourself sitting around thinking: “Wow…I could really use some focaccia bread right now.”? If your answer is never, I don’t think we can be friends. I LOVE a good focaccia bread, and this rosemary focaccia is particularly delightful.

You probably never thought you’d hear the words chocolate, oatmeal, spider and cake together in a sentence, but now you have, and trust me, it’s an excellent combination!
Meringue Bones
These meringue bones are a delectable treat for all your favourite ghouls and goblins! If you’ve never made meringues before, this is a great way to start, since these bones look even better with some imperfections.
Pumpkin Snickerdoodles
On Friday we had a pumpkin themed potluck in my office. A number of people asked me what I was making, to which I replied “pumpkin snickerdoodles”. I was surprised at the number of blank stares I received. Apparently a lot of people don’t know what snickerdoodles are! If you are one of those people, don’t worry. This post will explain everything you need to know.
Hamburger Soup
This hearty hamburger soup is the ultimate comfort food. It’s simple, easy to make, and a perfect way to warm up on a chilly fall day. I didn’t even know hamburger soup was a thing until I tried it at my in-laws for the first time.
Dad’s Pumpkin Pie
There is no other pie quite like this pumpkin pie. It’s a bold statement, but it’s the truth. Sure there are lots of other recipes out there, with a little more of this and a little less of that, but what makes this pie so extremely and uniquely special, is that it’s my dad’s pumpkin pie.
Pumpkin Spice Pound Cake
Tis the season for pumpkin spice everything, including this delicious pumpkin spice pound cake! I became obsessed with this cake more by luck than judgement, and now I make it at least once every time fall rolls around. Before I get into the details of how to make this cake, let me tell you the story of how I found this recipe in the first place.
Cheese Biscuits
Do you love cheese? Do you love biscuits? Then you need to make these right now. These cheese biscuits are incredibly easy to make and take no time at all. They’re delicious on their own, or served with a big, hot bowl of soup or stew.
Apple Cobbler
The transition from summer to fall is always a bittersweet moment for me. I’m never ready to say goodbye to long, warm summer nights, but I also can’t wait to start baking fall recipes, like this scrumptious apple cobbler.
