While the weather is getting colder, I am back to making one of my favorite comfort foods, tagine, which I made previously here. This time I wanted to make a different recipe, Lamb Tagine in Granite Ware roaster (a great cooking method that I talked in this article), to see the difference. When trying this…

Red Jalapeno Pepper Jam
It was my first year of planting jalapenos in my garden and I got a good harvest. I was looking for a jam recipe to use a couple of my jalapenos and I found this quick and simple recipe Red Jalapeno Pepper Jam which does not require canning. I like the fact this recipe uses the natural pectin of…
Spiced Pumpkin Cookies
I am addicted to this Spiced Pumpkin Cookies recipe from Giada De Laurentiis, which is a healthy treat to satisfy your sweet tooth for fall and Halloween. These Spiced Pumpkin Cookies are crisp, chewy, and not cake-like at all with the addition of pumpkin. The spices have just the right balance. What is also nice in this recipe that…

Rhubarb Meringue Pie
As I previously said, I love rhubarb and I made this Rhubarb Meringue Pie before it comes to the end of the season. This version of Rhubarb Meringue Pie is a delightful dessert to enjoy. I was surprised how the pie was incredibly melting in your mouth and the meringue over the top is lightly crisp. There…
