    It's the holiday season, and for most that means you're breaking out the rolling pins, bundt pans, and pie shells. Well, I decided to take a less traditional route with this dessert. Homemade cinnamon rolls can be a bit intimidating for most. Even the most skilled home bakers steer clear of baking with yeast. Well allow me to calm your fears; yeast is very similar to baking powder in that it's sole purpose is to leaven whatever it's added to, but it's super simple as long as you follow a few simple rules:

    So Halloween has come and gone; the weather is getting chilly, and you're left with loads of pumpkins that you have no idea what to do with. Now of course you cannot use the Jack-o-lantern that's been sitting outside for weeks; throw him in the compost pile and call it a day. As for the mini pumkins, I've got a great recipe for you. 

    End of Summer

    I love the varieties of squash available this time of year; they are a reminder of the end of the scorching days of summer, and the beginning of fall. There are so...

    We've all heard it before, "An apple a day keeps the doctor away."  According to various research studies, eating two apples per day can help prevent cancer.

    Forbidden Fruit?

    Beyond the myth and lore of apples as the forbidden fruit; you should look to include them in your daily regim...
