Even when last golden days of summer fade away, pumpkin returns to make everything OK again. Welcome the season with these velvety smooth bars with a spicy cookie crust.
Basically they're just red velvet flavored bread dough, rolled up with Nutella into a heart shape with plenty of cream cheese frosting and some more Nutella on top for good measure.
I recently needed a couple of desserts to send to work with my husband. I wanted something that was not chocolate, because I was already sending a chocolate cake for one of the desserts.
A simple, last-minute curry recipe - curry powder in coconut milk, deeply toasted cashew nuts, a handful of green beans, two handfuls of tiny cauliflower florets, and a bit of tofu for good measure.

My friend Sante shared his hermit recipe with me - a simple, drop-style, spice cookie loaded with tiny currants, chopped walnuts, and finished with a bit of icing.
My go-to poppy seed pancake recipe. Made with buttermillk, a generous amount of poppy seeds, toasted sunflower seeds. Drizzled with an simple-to-make, chunky citrus syrup.
