Oh Em Gee, These Are Incredible!

I’m so excited about today’s recipe that I almost can’t sit still! I’m crazy about potatoes, any way you make’m, so I have collected a vast amount of potato recipes over the years. I didn’t think it was possible to top them – you see, I figured I had already found and perfected the best of the best recipes out there. It turns out I was wrong, and I’m actually really happy about that!

I came across this caramelized roasted potatoes recipe on Vegan Food Lover’s channel, and it is TO DIE FOR. Honestly, I could eat these potatoes seven days a week and twice on Sunday! Vegan Food Lover really has found a heavenly combination of ingredients for that marinade – and I didn’t even realize you could marinate potatoes!

I highly recommend checking out all of his recipes; that’s what I’ve been doing for the past couple of days, and I’ve found quite a few favorites already. Let’s just say I’m going to pamper my family with these incredible dishes for the next couple of weeks, and you all should do the same!

I Can’t Pronounce The Name Of These Cookies But They Are DELISH

Many years ago I spent two weeks in Germany, traveling around the country with a group of friends. I know most people think of Oktoberfest when you mention you’ve been to Germany, but we weren’t there for the beer. To us, it was all about the food! I knew I liked German food, based on dishes I had enjoyed back home already – but when we were actually there, everything was even more delicious!

Somehow I had this thought in my mind that I would mostly be eating different kinds of sausages and really good bread. I wasn’t expecting to fall in love with German sweet treats, but I did. The pfeffernusse cookies!

I still don’t know how to pronounce it correctly but I can tell you these spice cookies are amazing. I found this recipe on Judy’s Culinaria and I’m planning on making these again over the holidays. They are perfect for Christmas, but they’re way too tasty to be made once a year only!

Quick Tip: You can make these several weeks ahead! Store in a tin, and the flavor will just get better over time.

Would You Pick One Or Make a Combination Of All 3 Of Them?

It’s always the same thing for me when it comes to holiday meals.

I start planning really early, to make sure there is no last minute panic. But then I simply find way too many great recipes and I start rethinking my choices. After about 3 weeks of hopping back and forth between ten different recipes, my husband picks one for me. I know, it’s sad!

But this year I don’t have to rethink anything. This sweet potato casserole recipe that I found on Recipes For Our Daily Bread is brilliant. Basically, you get an awesome sweet potato casserole with three topping options in one! We all have that favorite topping we like better than others, so now you can make something for everyone.

I actually can’t believe I hadn’t thought of this myself. This is great for anyone like me, who are having a hard time deciding what to serve at Christmas dinner!

I Could Eat That Praline Topping With A Spoon!

I will never forget Thanksgiving dinners at our house, as they were quite the extravagant event while I was growing up.

We had so many family members and friends packed into our house for hours and hours. People would always stay for lunch and dinner, both. My favorite part of this food fest were the incredible desserts, and there were always many. I especially loved the pumpkin pie! My mom would make the best one on the planet. She always served hers with some whipped cream and each slice was better than the next.

The other day I was browsing through my favorite food blogs for some pumpkin pie recipes that might differ from the classic versions. I came across this adorable pumpkin pie with pecan praline topping over at I Sing In The Kitchen, and I couldn’t be happier! This pie looks so stunning. And guess what? It tastes like a dream come true. Have you tried this version of pumpkin pie yet?

Quick Tip: Add lots of whipped cream to this pie or eat it with ice cream. Both are equally yummy.

Love, Love, LOVE This Soup!

Here up North we are starting to feel the weather change for the colder. Most people say they wouldn’t want the summer to end, but this is my favorite time of year. I love the colder months – the weather gives me a great excuse to cook all of my favorite soups and stews. Not that I can’t make them year round, but I do think fall and winter make these particular meals taste extra delicious!

I’m glad that my whole family enjoys these kind of recipes; we’re having soup about three times a week now! I’ve collected a bunch of super delicious recipes over the years and this vegetable soup is one of them. I like to make a double batch of this – it keeps well in the fridge for a few days (in my opinion, it only gets better) and everyone is going for seconds, anyway!

I’ve tried several veggie soup recipes in the past but the combination of these vegetables is just perfect, if you ask me. The soup is flavorful without any meat at all, but of course you could add some if you’d like. I bet this would taste amazing with some chicken in it, too.

These Aren’t Your Grandma’s Cabbage Rolls – Or Are They?

Raise your hand if you’re a fan of cabbage! It’s one of my favorite ingredients in the world, which is kind of a big deal since I didn’t used to like it at all, as a kid. I would go into the kitchen and tell my mother the whole house smelled awful, whenever she was making cabbage soup or any cabbage dish, really. Poor Mom – I was definitely a picky eater when I was little!

But I think I was about 10 when grandma was staying over at our house and she wanted to cook dinner for all of us. She made her famous cabbage rolls and I just didn’t have the heart to tell her I don’t like cabbage. It’s weird, isn’t it? I had no problem at all telling my mother I hated it, but when it comes to grandmas I guess we all act a little differently!

Anyway, I’m really glad I decided to keep my mouth shut because it meant I had to give those cabbage rolls a try. And they were ridiculous. I mean that in the best possible way! They were so tasty I kept eating until grandma laughed and said I was probably going to explode if I had one more.

Quick Tip: Make a double batch and freeze the other one for a quick meal when you need one!

You’ve Never Tried Banana Bread This Scrumptious Before!

Lately I’ve been trying to find new recipes that would make both; a great breakfast and dessert. It seemed like anything I’ve come across has been a little too unhealthy. Now, I don’t mind if my dessert is all butter and sugar but somehow I feel like I should at least try to make something healthier for breakfast… So I was really excited when I found this recipe over at Big Oven!

I’ve already made this twice and I have to say, it’s not just my favorite breakfast – my whole family is crazy about it! It definitely takes a healthier approach by using some fat-free yogurt, but don’t let that fool you. This still makes the most delightful dessert, too!

With the addition of walnuts you are going to give your body a great boost on many levels (I suggest you read about the health benefits of walnuts – wow!) And if you feel like this isn’t fancy enough for dessert, try serving it warm with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. It’s going to blow you away!
