Crispy Curried Smashed Potatoes

Recipe for crispy, oven smashed potatoes drizzled with a curry olive oil.

Have you ever had crispy smashed potatoes? To me, they're sort of like potato skins only a few notches above. Skins have tons of toppings but not much potato. Definitely more appetizer than side dish. But smashed potatoes give you the crispiness as well as the full flavor of the potato. But, somehow, I rarely get around to making them.

Pumpkin Cheesecake Ice Cream with Praline Pecans

Recipe for cheesecake ice cream flavored with pumpkin puree and cinnamon.

For most of my life, I stopped craving ice cream after summer was over. But all that changed a number of years ago when I first tasted pumpkin ice cream. There's a small local artisan ice cream shop near my apartment and they put a sign out announcing the flavor. Curiosity eventually got the better of me and I went in and got a scoop. An obsession was born.

Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich Cookies

Recipe for a sandwich cookie filled with peanut butter and strawberry jelly.

We will now take a brief recess from pumpkin spice everything to bring you some peanut butter. I promise that things will go back to orange very shortly. But sometimes, peanut butter and jelly beckon and you cannot refuse. OK, I cannot refuse.

Smokey Pumpkin Sage Pasta Sauce

Recipe for a creamy sauce flavored with pumpkin puree, sage and smoked paprika.

Wow, it's almost the end of the first week of October and this is the first pumpkin recipe I've shared with you this season. That's quite a lot of restraint on my part because I love pumpkin and my kitchen has been stocked with them since I saw the first one in the market.
