Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce

Pumpkin Bread Pudding with Bourbon Sauce by Farrell May Podgorsek

The photo does not do justice to one of the best desserts I have made. The Pumpkin Bread Pudding melts in your mouth while you inhale the warm spice tones of cinnamon, allspice, ginger and clove. The silky Bourbon Sauce topped the adult's desserts. My husband went for pumpkin overload by adding Pumpkin Ice Cream. This will definitely…

Grilled Steak with Israeli - North African BBQ Rub

Grilled Steak with Israeli - North African BBQ Rub by John Spottiswood

Almost nothing tastes better on steak or lamb that is thick enough to slice than an Israeli or North African spice rub. I combined a bit of both in this rub, using the base from an Israeli Hawaij rub and adding coriander which is more commonly found in Moroccan rubs. The combination is phenomenal. You won't be disappointed!

Mashed Potato Rolls

Mashed Potato Rolls by myra byanka

Accidentally deleted this recipe, so here it is again. It's my favorite, go-to general purpose recipe for dinner and sandwich rolls, because they last longer than a day, due to the potatoes in them. Add fresh herbs and garlic for Italian and comfort foods, or substitute mashed sweet potatoes for the russets. Keep the dough in…

Tuscan shrimp marinara with chickpea pasta

Tuscan shrimp marinara with chickpea pasta by John Spottiswood

This is a great Tuscan recipe adapted from the Flavors of Tuscan cookbook by Maxine Clark. Maxine recommends making fresh chickpea pasta. We use Barilla Plus pasta, which is made with chickpeas just like Maxine recommends. By skipping making your own pasta, this becomes a very easy and healthy dish.

Asian Rib Eye Over Mixed Greens with Ginger Dressing

Asian Rib Eye Over Mixed Greens with Ginger Dressing by John Spottiswood

I loved the combination of the flavorful rib eye and mushrooms over the truly delicious Asian flavored greens. You'll be using the salad dressing recipe again I'd wager, with or without the rib eye. This would make a great dish for a BBQ party or just for a delicious and casual summer dinner. We had this at my father in law's in…

Broiled Asian Salmon with Scallions and Sesame

Broiled Asian Salmon with Scallions and Sesame by John Spottiswood

This is a delicious and flavorful dish. I'm always looking for new and innovative ways to cook salmon. This is a spicy take on the traditional teriyaki salmon, and the plating is beautiful. Given that it is a minor variation of a Bon Appetit recipe, it is also remarkably easy.

Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake

Pumpkin Swirl Cheesecake by Dominick Costa

Summer is hands down my favorite time of year, especially being born and raised on the East Coast. I hate cold weather and snow and for me, fall and winter are just gloomy and depressing times of the year. On the other hand, I am very thankful for Pumpkin Season! I have already featured quite a few pumpkin recipes, but there sure…

Pimento Cheese is one of my all time favorite Southern foods and I thought with a little tweaking it could be part of a healthy snack. Serve on some celery or with one of my other more healthy faves, boiled shrimp!
