Looking for a special breakfast that isn’t too labor intensive? These gingerbread waffles with pear sauce are a delicious way to start the day.
Eating and living locally . . . mindfully . . . simply.

There was a gorgeous hubbard squash (a small-ish one) sitting on the counter for the past few weeks. I was waiting to decide what to do with it. When DH went hunting, I decided that I wanted to make something with squash. Nothing fussy, preferably something I could use as a main dish (for myself, and I don’t mind vegetarian). Rachel Ray to the rescue!

My husband claims that since this has no meat in it, I cannot call it chili. Moreover, “chili” with beans is not chili, either. I’m not sure who makes up the rules, but this is called Vegetarian Chili in Simply in Season. Pin It

Remember the squash that I cooked in the slow cooker the other day? This recipe used up about 3/4 C of it. Yes, it uses white sugar and white flour. So I’m not linking it up to any of the “real food” linky parties. But it is sooo good.

Did you know that M&M’s comes out with new flavors beyond just peanut and plain? Maybe because I’m not a mom, but I had no idea! So when Collective Bias asked me to come up with a recipe featuring the new M&M’s Candy Corn White Chocolate Candies, I was intrigued.

I love when my CSA basket tells me what to have for dinner. As I was driving home from pick up in the rain, I thought of all the soups I could make. Potato soup sounded good, but I didn’t have any potatoes. I wondered if I had any recipes for turnip soup in my cookbook collection? Luckily I found one in the first book I picked up.

Despite many screw ups and experiments on my part, this recipe from The Food Matters Cookbook turned out great!
