Say hello to the only appetizer you need for Thanksgiving. Actually, I take that back. Not just Thanksgiving. You could serve butternut squash crostini on a Tuesday! Or a Saturday! You could make them for lunch and be living your best life by noon. Why I Love This Recipe: Want to take ’em over the top? Make our homemade ricotta instead of store bought! For more easy appetizer recipes, consider trying my roasted grape crostini, these flaky puff pastry cheese bourekas, or this creamy baked goat cheese dip next! Ingredients…

Sometimes I wish I lived in a city. Nothing quite as large as New York. No, much to my husband’s dismay, those days are long gone. But perhaps a place a bit smaller, somewhere quaint. We could live down the street from a bakery. A place that would be equally perfect for writing, people watching, and Wi-Fi stealing.

This Sausage Stuffed Acorn Squash is the perfect way to celebrate the incredible fall produce popping up at farmer’s markets. Zucchini and summer squash are gone, but acorn and butternut squash are in abundance. If you’ve never mixed squash with sausage (our personal favorite is chorizo!) you are missing out. Here’s why I love this recipe so much: Feel free to play around with other varieties of winter squash, as well as different fillings (chicken sausage, pork sausage, ground beef or turkey — whatever you like). This makes a fantastic…

There is so much to love about this Lemon Blueberry Bundt Cake, but perhaps most is its light, airy texture! It’s citrusy and bright, features the best of spring and summer blueberries (though yes, you can substitute frozen), and has a delicious homemade lemon glaze. (I am 100% lemon obsessed. If you are too, try my lemon poppy seed cake next!) We love to serve this as a sweet last bite at the end of brunch, but it makes a great mid-day snack with a cup of coffee too! Whatever…
