Egg-less Pumpkin Spice Cookies
It’s Autumn in most of the world, which means it is basically summer in San Francisco. The warm weather definitely doesn’t stop me from enjoying all my favorite fall flavors, especially pumpkin. I’ve made the **easiest** version of pumpkin spice cookies before and shared them here. This recipe involves a few more ingredients (no boxed help), but results in super soft, chewy cookies that are perfect for fall. Ingredients 1/4 C brown sugar (I prefer dark) 1/2 C white cane sugar (plus 1 T extra) 1/2 C unsalted butter 1/2 C pumpkin puree (My favorite is Libby’s) 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 1/5 C flour (all-purpose) 1/2 tsp salt…

Pumpkin Spice Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies
What do you do when there is a rain delay during Game 7 of the World Series? You bake cookies of course. Okay, maybe this isn’t what everyones first instinct is, but it definitely was mine last night. I actually came across this recipe when I was in college and then remembered it because it appeared in one of my facebook memories from more than 5 years ago. Made me think it was time to bring this one back for fall. This recipe is SO easy it hardly constitutes baking. I honestly could make these with my 4 year old nephew as long as I operated the oven. I totally…

It is officially almost halloween, the time of the year where it is totally appropriate for adults to dress up in costumes, eat tons of candy, and watch old movies like Hocus Pocus! (Right?)

If you are in need of some pumpkin recipes for fall feel free to try these recipes for pie, cupcakes, and lasagna. Besides all these foods, pumpkin carving can be a great way to decorate your house for the fall. But, if you are like me and live in an apartment, the mess and…

Pumpkin & Spinach Lasagna
I hosted a Friendsgiving two weeks ago to celebrate the arrival of the holidays with some of my closest girlfriends in San Francisco. If you’ve never done a Friendsgiving before, I highly recommend it. It’s an awesome way to share stories and catch up over some delicious food and wine. I decided to make Pumpkin Lasagna for the group because its a great dish that serves a lot of people, tastes delicious, and is easy to make! Ingredients: 18 oz Lasagna sheets (I used a store bought gluten-free pasta) 2 C mozzarella 1/2 C parmesan 15 oz (about 2 C) low-fat ricotta cheese 5 oz fresh spinach 15…

Mini-Pumpkin Pies!
Happy happy happy thanksgiving everyone! Thanksgiving is an amazing time to celebrate the amazing year thus far and enjoy great food and good company. I am a huge fan of all thanksgiving foods (minus of course the Turkey since I don’t eat Turkey.) The warm comforting flavors of squash, cornbread, green beans, yams, mashed potatoes, & stuffing make me wish it was Thanksgiving more than once a year. But no thanksgiving is complete without pie!! Now I know most pie-litists would frown upon putting a pumpkin pie in a graham cracker crust, but I disagree. The crumble texture of the graham crackers is such a great compliment to the pumpkin…

Pumpkin Cupcakes
So first off, sorry for the huge blogging lag. Basically I’ve been spending a bunch of time trying to move my website from tumblr to wordpress (with the help of an amazing task rabbit) and getting ready for my upcoming trip to New Orleans for the Society for Neuroscience conference. I’m really excited to go to NOLA because a) I’ve never been before and b) I absolutely love creole flavors and cannot wait to try them at the authentic local spots. YUM! Anyway, here’s a really good recipe for some pumpkin cupcakes with cheesecake frosting. It’s loosely based off the recipe from Martha Stewart but I tried to change it up to make…
