Moroccan Chicken Chermoula

One pan chicken entree, cooked in a spicy North African sauce.

How does a pan of flavorful chicken thighs, cooked in an aromatic sauce and served over rice, sound for dinner? Good, right? Especially when that sauce is a slow cooked North African chermoula, a blend of red chili peppers, garlic, coriander, cilantro and lemon. No time to make a complex sauce, you say? I've got you covered.

Pumpkin Boule Bread

Savory crusty pumpkin bread with a light egg bread texture.

Have I ever mentioned how much I love pumpkin? For some reason, I've been obsessed with how pumpkins and other winter squash look since I was a kid but I didn't actually love the taste. But, as an adult, my obsession is complete.

Crispy Chickpea and Egg Shakshuka

Crispy chickpeas and eggs poached in a shakshuka simmer sauce.

I came to love shakshuka, the popular breakfast dish of eggs poached in a spicy tomato sauce, a little later in life. This was probably the result of being a tomato hating kid but thank goodness I grew out of it.

Wicked Chocolate Pumpkin Smash Cocktail

Bourbon cocktail flavored with pumpkin, chocolate and cinnamon.

I interrupt this normally family-friendly foodie conversation to talk about wicked cocktails and what they'll make you do. Dancing naked on a bar to the song Monster Mash is one such wicked possibility.

Tahini Salted Caramel Apples

Apples dipped in tahini salted caramel and decorated with nuts and chocolate.

Every autumn I start to dream about caramel apples. I think it started when I was a little girl, window shopping with my mother in fancy department stores. There was always a display of the most decadent looking caramel apples, loaded with chocolate and nuts. But the prices were outrageous.
