Cinnamon Sugar Pull-Apart Bread. I’m sorry. I know it’s Monday morning and you probably came here for some pretty pictures of food that you could glance at, and then move on with your day… and here I go thrusting warm, soft cinnamon sugar bread in your face. It’s not fair. I know it’s not fair.

I know that now you’re craving cinnamon rolls, and cream cheese frosting and chili fries and hot dogs. You don’t deserve this sort of torture. This bread hits all the comfort spots in my soul. I’m sorry and you’re welcome and I love you. Let’s start at the beginning. I did this all without the use of a stand mixer and dough hook. This dough can be made and left to rise , then refrigerated overnight for use in the morning. This is the dough just before it’s left to rise. After the dough has rested and risen for an hour, I knead it in a few tablespoons of flour. This is the part in the bread process where you can wrap the dough and place it in the fridge to rest overnight. I worked with my dough right away. I can’t even deal.

Chipotle Shredded Pork Enchiladas. Now that I live in Southern California, I’ve been diving into the world of Mexican food. I’ve shared with you before that I’ve never been a fan, until recently. Ben is partially responsible for my conversion, but I think the other reason is because I’ve finally been exposed to good Mexican food. Through-out my childhood and up until I got married, I always related Mexican food to places like Taco Bell.

It’s even strange for me to think about how much I like all of it now. In the past, I would never choose to go to a Mexican restaurant. If you saw me there, it was solely because I was invited. Ironically, now that I love Mexican food, I am sort of a wimp with spicy dishes. This was my first time working with tomatillos, which are small green tomatoes, about 1- to 2-inches wide. I love plating these enchiladas stacked in individual servings, as pictured above.

Soups. Honey Sesame Dressing for Asian Chicken Salad. A simple salad for the last days of summer with an Asian-inspired honey sesame dressing and marinade. Every year I feel as though I’m hanging on to the last bits of summer, wishing the sun’s rays to remain warm and strong just a bit longer so as to delay the inevitable winter, the graying of the plants and the whiteness that will eventually come and blanket my little piece of the earth.I appreciate the seasons.

There’s a peace and calm that comes with the winter, a stillness as the world rests and waits to spring forth again, green and beautiful once more.While it’s still here, though, I’m holding tight to the green, the lushness of the end of summer and the welcoming of winter, as leaves turn and the produce at the market changes from shades of bright berries and herbs to the warm colors of fall with its orange pumpkins and a rainbow of winter squash.
