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 think these are traditionally holiday cookies, but I’m planning on making these all year long. 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.

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 my friends’ Facebook pages for some pumpkin pie recipes that might differ from the classic versions. I came across this adorable pumpkin pie with pecan praline topping, 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.

That Topping Is Out Of This World!

I love breakfast time. I didn’t use to be a morning person at all, so it was really hard for me to get out of bed early, let alone eat something at that hour.

I don’t know if it’s because I’ve gotten older, or if my “inner clock” has somehow fixed itself over the years, but now I really enjoy early mornings and tasty breakfast dishes. And, of course, I can’t start my day without a nice cup of dark roast coffee!

Whatever I’m having for breakfast, there’s gotta be coffee. And when there’s coffee, I really love a little sweet treat to go with it. Sometimes it is hard to come by as I do not always stock up on donuts or cake since I will just spend the whole day eating that. But, every now and then I find a recipe that I am able to make over the weekend and enjoy a little bit every morning with breakfast.

This coffee cake is one of my favorites, and even though it has some classic fall flavors, I wouldn’t mind eating this year ’round!

These 3 Layers Of Pure Pleasure Will Blow Your Hair Back!

My niece was born this time of year, which has been a blessing for my sister – she really loves all the traditional fall flavors and a birthday party is a great excuse for her to make all the delicious autumn desserts. However, she always tries to tweak the traditional recipes a little; to give them a modern twist without changing them too much.

This year, I wanted to help my sister in the party preparations and she gave me this recipe she had found over at Delish. She and I are both crazy in love with sweet potato pie, so these bars are pretty much everything we could ever hope for when it comes to desserts!

Of course I had to make a test batch – you know, just to see if these were good enough for the guests… ahem. They turned out so amazing that I immediately added this recipe to our holiday menu! There’s nothing wrong with a traditional pie, of course, but these bars are totally out of this world.

Quick Tip: This recipe makes 16 bars. We recommend making a double batch – these will go fast!

Move Over Peanut Butter – There’s a New Tasty Spread In Town!

How many of you have tried making apple butter at home? I bet almost all of you have! I’ve made a batch or two over the years, myself, and my whole family enjoys it. This year, however, I felt like trying something different. I still made a small batch of my traditional apple butter but I think this pumpkin spread turned out even better!

Funny how I had never even thought of preparing pumpkin this way before. It makes so much sense now that I’ve tried it! The consistency is perfect, so is the flavor – and you can of course tweak it to your taste.

What’s special about this “butter” is that there’s ginger and honey in it. I think those two give this such a wonderful flavor that it’s impossible to resist. I love having this with my morning toast – and I actually even add this to my oatmeal! I wonder if people would think I’m weird, if I just had this for a snack, straight from the jar with a spoon? Haha!

Quick Tip: You can adjust the amount of ginger to your taste.

You’ll Laugh Your Way Through Making This

Raise your hand if you’ve gotten takeout more than once this week! I’m kind of embarrassed to say I’ve reached for the takeout menu often lately. I know it’s not the best choice, whether it’s money you’re thinking about or the health aspect. But sometimes (a lot of times, actually) I’m so short on time, takeout seems to be the only option.

I decided it was time to make a change, so I’ve been trying out all kinds of new recipes that will save the day. I need recipes that are simple to put together, don’t take a lot of time to prepare and taste just as delicious as their takeout counterparts!

This slow cooker chicken teriyaki has quickly become one of my favorites. It’s inexpensive and my whole family loves it! You can serve it over rice or your favorite noodles, and you barely have to lift a finger to prepare this.

I even had my kids make this for us the other day! My two daughters, who are 11 and 12, are always excited to help out in the kitchen. I gave them instructions and they were able to put this together completely on their own. You should have seen how proud they were of themselves!
