Landee See, Landee Do: Meltaway Cookies
Let me create a little scenario for you... you are invited to a cookie exchange at the last minute and don't know what to make. OR, scenario #2 (more likely), your kid comes to you and says he/she needs to take in cookies the next day for { fill in event here } which he/she has known about for a month but is just telling you about now. I give unto you a cookie recipe that you should probably file away somewhere for just such an occasion. Why? Because I am 99% sure you will always have all the ingredients for these on hand!
This morning I was looking at my home page and I realized that there is a lot of orange sweet potato and pumpkin going on.
Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Gouda Cheese Sauce
There are as many recipes for tomato pasta sauce as there are Italian grandmothers. My Sicilian grandmother used to make her sauce every year from the tomatoes in her garden. Much of the time the sauce had meat in it but I don’t think it was ever exactly the same twice.

Just like “on a stick”, everything gets infinitely cuter when layered inside a mason jar and tied with a simple ribbon or tag . Favors are no exception! So make these delicious fruity pies in mini mason jars (or regular size!)

I came across this cauliflower crust pizza on Pinterest, and was instantly intrigued. A low-carb pizza? Sign me up! I was skeptical, of course, but curious enough to try it and see how it tasted.
Cauliflower Crust Pizza
With the holidays approaching ever so quickly, I thought now was as good a time as any to talk about the art of a perfect pie crust. Yes, yes, I know it is so easy to trot down the refrigerator isle and plop a couple pre-made ones into your cart…….BUT…..It is so fun to eat a pie that was made with love and a HOMEMADE pie crust! Pie crust has a bad reputation for being difficult or touchy. I would have to agree only in the area of being touchy.

My grandma would be so proud of me if she were still a live because she was the pie maker in the family, and I finally feel like I can make a decent pie crust which is half the battle. Grandma made wonderful pies and it was always such a treat to go to her house or for her to come to ours because she always made a pie or had one in hand. As a child I only liked her lemon meringue and chocolate pies although I know she made many others. I wasn’t a crust eater then, especially a pie that had a top crust but things have changed since then. I love the pie crust now especially when the crust is flaky, buttery and melt in your mouth tender. My problem with pies now is waiting for them to cool long enough to cut into it :) and not eating half of it all by myself.Jamaican Banana Fritters | ThatsSoYummy.com

This post comes to you from damply beautiful Seattle, Washington! Yes, kids, I am in Seattle for BlogHer Food 2012 and not just as an attendee, but I am speaking ! I am nervous, but terribly excited, and ready to get the party started! The last month has been a CRAZY travel month for me. First, I went to Camp Blogaway, then I spent 6 days in Tokyo (expect a few Japanese themed recipes in the future – the place is life changing!)My sister-in-law Missy first introduced me to the concept of fruit pizza years and years ago, and here’s how: she brought one to my house and I proceeded to eat the whole thing. But it was small. And I was nursing.
