Brown sugar cinnamon pork roast with glazed apples and carrots
I love fall, while a good pumpkin spice, or pumpkin pie can be amazing, I'm all about the apples. So we've been using apples a ton lately in our cooking, and our 9 year old is extremely happy about that. Apples aren't just for desserts, they pair perfect with pork too! This meal is devoured in our house. Everyone goes back for seconds, it's the perfect fall meal. It's so simple ...

Roasted Summer Squash Marinara
It's summer squash season, which seems ironic, because it doesn't feel like summer anymore. The weather is cooling, the geese are starting to move south, the orchards are starting to open for the season. Fall is starting to creep in. We're soaking up the rest of summer though, and spending a lot of time tending our garden. We have an abundance of summer squash, which is ...
Sheet pan lemon roasted gnocchi
This was a recipe that was impossible to name. You have roasted gnocchi, onions, garlic, and grape tomatoes roasted until the gnocchi is perfectly golden and the tomatoes are bursting. Then you have the salad of torn basil and spinach, dressed with a great little dressing of a citrusy hazy IPA, olive oil, and lemon pepper. We just call it sheet pan gnocchi and it's one of our ...
Lemon Curd recipe (without using a double boiler)
There's something about lemon that's so bright and fresh and perfect for just about everything. I even use lemon for my favorite ever roasted vegetables. So naturally, I fell in love with the Noosa lemon yogurt, it's like eating a lemon meringue pie, but I can't find it in stores near me! So I recently made it my mission to make my own lemon curd from scratch. The first time ...
S’Mores Brownies

We used my favorite Pampered Chef brownie pan a box mix, a simple ...

Green onion dip recipe
Green onion dip recipe We love green onions, so naturally we planted a ton of them in our garden. Well, we're not eating them as fast as we thought we would, and we keep forgetting about them.

Sheet pan roasted vegetables with beer braised bratwurst
I love roasting vegetables on a sheet pan, and recently discovered how much better they cook on a Pampered Chef Stoneware bar pan. I simply dice some of my favorite vegetables, put them in a bowl, coat them with a little bit of olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest, minced garlic and a little bit of salt and pepper. Sometimes I'll add protein like chicken to the top, but I ...
