Chocolate Pecan Bundt Cake
And I am going to share with you a cake. A bundt cake. Which I made for no real occasion or reason other than I felt like baking one day. And I liked the way this one turned out, so here it is.
Cranberry and Dark Chocolate Snack Bars
I've made and written about various versions. Homemade granola bars are fairly easy and these don't need any oven time. Which means 15 minutes, tops.
Coconut Jerk Shrimp
So my best sous-chef and I found this Coconut Jerk Shrimp recipe on the #Tkeveryday Recipe Challenge. It's made with lite coconut milk. While you will rarely see seafood and fish on this blog, it is something that lands on our menu from time to time. And Gav happens to be a huge shrimp fan. Actually, he considers himself a "crispy shrimp expert".

this Cauliflower Gratin is really comforting and rich and low carb. Perhaps Paleo, but not vegan unless you skip the parm

Pumpkin Pooch Snacks
... I have a pooch that happens to L.O.V.E. pumpkin. Love! I tell you. I got busy and made Mr. H some snacks.
Coriander Spiced Lentil Soup
Soup is what I do when I need a reset foodwise. It feels like, no.... I should say we have been eating non-stop for the last two weeks. Holiday meals, parties, grabbing food at the mall while we finish our shopping. In truth I haven't spent much time in the kitchen just cooking. I've finished a few desserts. Made an app or two to take to a party. I have made many cups of coffee. But just cooking to eat food? making something nourishing? not so much. We spent 3 days in hockey arenas.. yes that is arenas . I have never consumed nor allowed to be consumed so many french fries.
Winter Vegetable Soup
A rich and comforting soup full of sweet winter vegetables. Good for the freezer too -- and sometime in January when you have absolutely no time for dinner you will thank me.
Love Crunch Gingerbread Crunch Bark
Personally, I think this was rather brilliant of me. Something about the spicy gingerbread pieces with bitter sweet dark chocolate. It's amazing and dead simple. So easy and so good in fact, I have decided to share this treat with just about everyone this holiday... I made some for the family, then a batch for the office potluck, and then decided the kids teachers are getting some too.... and there is that holiday party on the 23rd...
Cranberry Walnut Fudge Cookies
I wanted these cookies to have lots going on. So they are stuffed with the goods... stuffed.
Roasted Sweet Onion Dip
... just throw them in the oven for a while and walk away. Caramelized onions require babysitting a pan on the stove top. Oven roasted well, not so much. In fact, they actually give you time. Time to read a book. clean up the hall closet or do a load of laundry kind of time.
Creamy Savoy Cabbage Slaw
The whole cabbage family is under rated in my opinion. Great source of vitamins and antioxidants during the winter months too. Embrace the cruciferous!
Cranberry Ginger Squares
A soft buttery cookie, laced with orange zest, filled with dried cranberries, cherries and a little bit of candied ginger. I have a thing for candied ginger. I find its heat incredibly addictive.

These Crockpot Vegetarian Tacos can help get you through the busiest of weeks. Any crock pot recipe for taco filling, actually. I have several versions and during the winter months I make them on a regular basis - they are easy to put together and are fairly forgiving about being left unattended for a long while. The hardest part about this particular recipe is peeling and chopping the sweet potato.
Black Bean and Corn Dip with Feta Cheese
Hey. I'm not above tortilla chips if it means my kids are eating black beans and vegetables without complaining.
The beans provide protein and the feta gives just enough tang to make it interesting.
The Best Brownie Recipe
When I let the dog outside first thing this morning I could feel it. The crisp of fall in the air. By 10am the day was warm and humid - still summer - just a moment to remind me of fall... and then I find myself in the kitchen. Funny how my kitchen habits are...
Creamy Feta Dip
...here a little something for that last long weekend of the summer. Maybe that last backyard BBQ. Share this with friends. This dip works with so many different "dip-ables" -- fresh veggies, toasted pita wedges, breadsticks or cocktail shrimp -- it will keep everyone happy.
Blueberry Walnut Coffee Cake with Basil
This is a light and sweet cake - Blueberry and Basil Coffeecake with Walnuts. Not particularly fancy. Basil adds a little extra spice to each bite but is not overpowering. There is something about coffee cake that I have a hard time resisting. With or without coffee. Though, I can't usually resist coffee.. so decidedly best with coffee, or a rich and spicy tea if you go that way.

Classic Green Mint Chutney
And before you conclude that chutney is only for Indian inspired dishes and curries, I want you to know that I will be making this all summer. Fresh grilled veggies, sweet corn (I can't wait), anything off the BBQ, warm and crispy Naan.. or like here, just tossed on some boiled potatoes.
Gluten-Free Raspberry Crumb Bars
These pretty little pastries are gluten-free and vegan. Sweet and rich cookie base with layers of almonds and coconut.
Sweet Corn and Green Chili Slaw
I didn't know what to call this - a salad, salsa, relish? Did you know slaw is just another word for salad? Slaw felt most appropriate because of the spoon-ability of the dish. So we have slaw.
Peanut Butter and Jelly Muffins
Sometimes simple and familiar, with jam on your fingers, is best. A simple peanut butter muffins filled with jam.
