Tell me who can’t get a smile from a Gingerbread cookies. I like mine to be a little extra gingery. Serving on a big tray or even wrapping up in individual bags with some bows… They make a great treat, especially this time of year. Want to have fun with your little ones l? Let them choose how to decorate with colorful frostings and little candies. Super fun. Enjoy all the yummy treats of the holiday. Love, Jenni 💚

Birthdays in December don’t have to celebrated with red, green and silver. Nor do you have to have flavors of peppermint and/or chocolate . These toasted coconut macarons are sure to help a sweet young lady celebrate her special day. Love, Jenni 💚

A tomato soup upgrade…. Not that it needs it. However this roasted tomato and red lentil soup is delicious. With cold weather in the forecast it’s a perfect way to keep warm, and offers some great benefits as a vegetarian option. Lentils are a legume that are grown specifically for the seeds. They are high in fiber and protein and low in fat and calories. In addition they are loaded with vitamins and minerals. Lentils are also very inexpensive, but most of all tasty with a very earthy flavor. This soup uses pepper🌶️, cumin and coriander to add to the flavor. I top my bowl with a little Greek yogurt and an onion gremolata to give a nice creamy note and add extra flavor and texture. As the cold weather rolls in, I hope you are all staying warm.

The holidays are filled with parties of many kinds. Some fresh baked cookies are always a hit for a hostess gift. You’re sure to get an invite back next year. I love shortbread cookies because they go great with coffee, tea, and hot chocolate. Not overly sweet, but full of flakey, buttery goodness. Don’t be a grinch, enjoy the holidays and spread some cheer. Love, Jenni 💚

“Leave the gun….keep the cannoli.” Well the cannoli cake anyway. Those lil tubular treats are pretty much my favorite dessert. I never pass them up. And making them is fairly easy, but the shells are time consuming. (Of course you can always buy premade shells and they are just as good). Today I made my favorite treat only in a way to share. A pistachio cannoli cake. No shells to fry. A slightly dense cake with a little finely chopped pistachio, layered with sweet ricotta cream with bits of semi sweet chocolate. Then the outside coated with extra chocolate and pistachio pieces. I’ll take a piece please. I’ll be sharing this lovely treat at Gather by Angel 101 today. So come in for a bite and enjoy a cuppa tea or coffee around the island with me. There will be other tasty bites to try and I’ll answer anything food you may have for making or gift giving. Hope to see you there 11:30-3. Love, Jenni 💚

These! They are simply delicious. A cinnamon shortbread cookie with a spiced sugar topping. Thank you for always inspiring me. How beautiful do they look on this wonderful gold tray available at Gather by Angel 101 . It’s a perfect hostess gift. Something to enjoy right now and something to have forever too. I love gifting home made treats for many reasons, but mostly because they come from the heart. I hope you are all enjoying the beginning of the season. Love, Jenni 💚

I’m packing up these pecan shortbread cookies and bringing them to Gather by Angel 101 for their Saturday tasting. These lil gems are so easy…. But even easier with Gather’s premade pecan pie filling mix. I’ll also have the fan favorite, turkey havarti Sammie’s with hot pepper jelly. Great way to use your left turkey. Some fresh sourdough bread to bread to dip and try any one of the olive oils and vinegars from Calivirgin. There are lots of other tasty treats to try and buy that make wonderful hostess gifts and stocking stuffers. I’ll be glad to give you ideas and Gather can make it loook super pretty with their gift wrapping too.

It’s beginning to look a lot like….. peppermint martinis. These pretty iridescent red martini glasses and champagne flutes are out for the season. So why not use them. I made a super simple peppermint martini after dinner. Vanilla vodka, peppermint schnapps, and white crème de menthe. It was a perfect way to unwind by the fire. The glasses and the fun tartan plaid tray are available Gather by Angel 101 . They certainly will be great for entertaining, or just chilling during the cold winter evenings. Love, Jenni 💚

Not a new recipe, but one worth sharing again. Spaghetti squash turkey taco boats. I never had spaghetti squash growing up…. But I’m making up for lost time. It’s so delicious. It serves as a great base for bowls of many kinds, but is just as good simply roasted with some salt and pepper. Here I just cooked some turkey with tomatoes sauce, onions, bell pepper, and a few spices. Put it right in top and used the shell as a vessel. Topped with a little cheddar and pico de gallo. A great weeknight meal as well as its super easy. Love, Jenni💚

What goes best with poblano soup? Root vegetable tacos! I’m just saying… veggies such as beets get a bad wrap and can certainly provide as much flavor and be as hardy as any protein. These veggies were so satisfying and flavor forward. I roasted carrots, beets, and parsnips (so many options to choose from) with a little olive oil and some white balsamic vinegar, a sprinkle of salt and pepper and a some fresh thyme. Once roasted I added some black beans, cumin, coriander, and chili powder and heated through. I simply used corn tortillas and topped with a red cabbage slaw. You could add a creamy topping like yogurt or sour cream too. It’s a great way you add these wonderfully nutrient dense veggies I to your meals as well. Plus…who doesn’t love a taco. I hope you’ll give it a try. Love, Jenni 💚

Roasted poblano soup is perfect for this chilly damp evening. It’s a delicious flavor and beyond simple to make. Poblano peppers don’t have a ton of heat, but using several will build the flavor. I drizzled some yogurt and a few drops of hot sauce. Using vegetable stock makes it a great vegetarian option too. Serve with a few tortilla chips as a side if you like. Love, Jenni 💚

It’s everything I hoped it would be….and plenty to share. A dessert worthy of the Thanksgiving table. It’s sweet, moist, creamy, and delicious. The addition of ice cream is almost a must. As it melts over the top, every bite is perfection. I hope you’ll give a new recipe a try this year. You may just find it’s worthy of replacing an old time favorite. Love, Jenni 💚

Right out of the oven. I know…. Apple pie is a staple of the holidays. Today however I am experimenting with some other options. Apple pie bread pudding. Oh my heaven. My kitchen smells A-mazing. Hopefully I’ll be able to plate this pretty, but if not I am sure the flavors will be there. Bread pudding is a sadly overlooked dessert option. It’s sweet, moist, and decadent. Top it with some I e cream and well….. it’s fantastic. I’ve saved some of the apple pie filling juices to pot in top as well. It should be delicious. What will you try to “update” on your holiday table. Love, Jenni 💚

Cookbook club was again a success. Never a question really. I was tasked with the appetizer and chose the crab cakes from Magnolia Table Volume 3. They didn’t disappoint. They were full of tasty chunks of sweet crab. Some fresh green onions and a little red pepper. Super easy to make as well. I air fried them to keep them healthier and they were perfect texture. A slightly spicy rémoulade for topping was a nice touch too. These would also be great served with a salad for a quick lunch or a simple dinner. Vary the portion size for appetizer or entree. Whether it’s a cookbook club, or other gathering it’s always fun to gather with good people. Make it a priority, it’s good for the soul. And if you need to bring a dish to share I recommend these highly. Love, Jenni 💚

It’s definitely soup season. So on this chilly fall day I decided to make a big batch of soup for dinner and to have throughout the week. I had 3/4 of a large, beautiful, locally grown cauliflower left from dinner a few nights ago. So curried cauliflower soup was on the menu. Sautéd some onion, add veggie stock, cauliflower, and a few small peeled potatoes. Once simmered and all veggies are soft, and salt and Madras curry powder. Madras curry tends to have a little more spice to it and holds up its flavor. It’s a great fall curry. Blend with an émersion blender until nice and smooth. I had made some sourdough bread bowls in the morning to serve for dinner. it’s a fun way to serve your guest….so why not yourself too? Topped the soup with chopped roasted cashews, green onions and a little cilantro. I served with a simple green salad and we had an easy, healthy dinner. We have plenty for leftovers and to share. Extra boules of bread we’ll use for avocado toast and other meals this week. I love all kinds of soup, and looking to try a roasted poblano soup soon. What’s your favorite soup? Love, Jenni 💚

A nice weeknight meal that is done in one pan (this is the braiser and my favorite pan ever) sauté some chicken sausage, onion, garlic , add spinach, tomato sauce, kalamata olives, and your choice of pasta, top with some feta cheese: it’s a quick easy meal that is full of flavor. I added some fresh parsley on top for serving. It’s hard to work all day and get a filling, healthy meal on the table. This one is a keeper. Love, Jenni 💚

It’s a night in watching my beloved Yankees. A tough loss last night, but game 1 is just that. I told you last week I’d be making a vegetarian chili this weekend…. So here you go . This is packed full of veggies and legumes and nice and chunky. You won’t miss the meat and get plenty of protein from two types of beans. It’s also a simple dish because it all goes into one pot. Onions, carrot, red bell pepper, sweet potato, and corn. Add some veggie stock and crushed tomatoes with traditional chili spices: chili powder, cumin, oregano, paprika, garlic powder and a dash of salt and pepper. I also add sprinkle of cayenne pepper and one diced jalapeño for a little extra heat. It’s a really healthy option for a hardy dish and definitely one for watch any fall sports game. I served it in the Dutch oven with fixings so everyone can choose their own way. Cheese, avocado, Greek yogurt, and fresh cilantro. Pickled onions would be a nice touch too. I also prefer to eat my chili with tortilla chips because I love the crunchy texture with it. So whoever you’re cheering on tonight, make a healthy bowl of warm goodness and curl up. May the best Yankee team win😜 Love, Jenni 💚
