Published 9/18/2024 After our OG peanut butter oat cups went viral on the internet (and in your hearts!), we had to take things up a notch in honor of all things AUTUMN with these delicious pumpkin spice oat cups.

The fam and I convened to watch the biggest football game of the year this weekend! Nope, not the Super Bowl, rather the University of Iowa vs Iowa State game.

We’re officially 10 weeks out from meeting baby boy #2 which means I’ve officially reached the “get way too full way too fast” point of this pregnancy as my stomach is currently being squished by a wee baby knee. Aw! But also…ow! That said, I’m a volume eater – love me some GIANT salads, BIG steaks, and HUGE plates of pasta – so when the amount of food I’m able to eat gets slashed, you better believe that what I do get to eat has to be full of flavor....

In case you didn’t know, there’s actually 13 seasons in the Midwest. While it’s quite frustrating that spring stretches itself out over six “seasons” (Spring of Deception gets me every. TIME!) the Second Summer we’re currently experiencing after last week’s False Fall is quite lovely. Sunny and 80s, baby – I’ll take that all day long! That said, “Actual Fall” is just around the corner and I’ve got just the thing for you to tuck into when the cool evening air starts whirling through your windows on the regular – Smoked Sausage, White Bean and Spinach Soup....

We’ve reached that time of year when it’s so hot the cicadas start buzzing in the trees mid-morning and become absolutely deafening by bed time. AKA MY FAVORITE TIME OF YEAR! Here in the Midwest, the daily cicada choir is usually a good indication that local tomatoes are ripe, ready, and begging to be turned into Spaghetti al Pomodoro.

I stocked up on fresh sweet corn at the farmer’s market to make this must-try summer side dish that’s so good I’m squinting my eyes whilst racking my brain to come up with a better adjective than “so good” to convey how delicious it is. It’s not working. Sweet Corn with Maple-Bourbon Brown Butter and Bacon is sticky, caramelized, smokey, sweet, and savory. Plus, as the name implies, it’s loaded with not just sweet corn but maple syrup, bourbon, brown butter, and bacon....

I recently learned that “gluten-free desserts made with normal ingredients” is one of the top searched phrases online when it comes to living a gluten-free lifestyle, and I’ve never related to anything harder. Forget gluten free flours that all bake and cook differently from one aother, or even mixing up your own blend. Berries in a Cloud is a dream of a gluten free dessert recipe. No flour needed, rather, just a handful of everyday ingredients....

What I do differently in this recipe is coat the shrimp lightly with cornstarch and pan-fry it. Once fried, the cornstarch coating crisps up and the sauce sticks to the shrimp better. It makes a beautiful creamy parmesan garlic sauce that stands on it and compliments the shrimp’s flavors. This dish is comfort food for family dinners, rich enough to entice guests. For a flavorful dish, this is quick enough for a busy weeknight dinner and indulgent on weekends....
