Lemon Sesame Roasted Sweet Potatoes

Lemon Sesame Roasted Sweet Potatoes

If I could eat sweet potatoes 7 days a week, I would be so, so happy. They are so versatile, and easy to prep! My favorite way to make them is roasting them in the oven. Perhaps this is the “lazy” way, but I find it to be a pretty foolproof way to get them soft and cooked through, but also browned with a bit of texture on the outside. These Lemon Sesame Roasted Sweet Potatoes are a super simple, easy, and delectable version of my go to side dish.

This Ginger Pear Bourbon Cocktail is a delicious one for the late fall season. Zingy ginger, sweet pear, and warming bourbon all in one neat glass. It can also be turned into a mocktail if preferred!

Cardamom Almond Brownies

Cardamom Almond Brownies

I realized recently that I don’t bake nearly as much as I used to. There really isn’t much rhyme or reason for this, but it was a strange observation! Perhaps it’s because a household of 2 can only eat so many baked goods, and the change in social habits that last couple years means there are fewer opportunities to pawn off these treats to friends and family. When I do find myself wanting some dessert, I’ve been craving foods that play with the balance of sweet and savory, or highlight herbal flavors. These Cardamom Almond Brownies do both of those things, and make for a warming treat as we enter into the colder months.

Fall is upon us, and as the wind and rain storms blow in, I’m eating warm, rich dishes a whole lot more. Up until recently, I have been a bit intimidated by risotto.

This Butternut Squash Risotto with Seared Scallops is the perfect combination of warm fall flavors, with some delicate seafood flair.
