Super Easy Baked Apples

Here's another delicious fruit-based dessert to try: Baked Apples with Chai-Spiced Maple Syrup.

Apple Grilled Cheese

Who doesn't love grilled cheese? Apparently, the gentleman who blogs on Closet Cooking is particularly in love with it -- and I can't say that I blame him! Unfortunately, I am just not able to enjoy the grilled cheese concoctions he makes directly as they are. So, I modified his caramelized apple grilled cheese to better suit my oh-so-slow metabolism.

Another Late-Taste of Fall: Roasted Acorn Squash

I just can't dig my way out of this old-recipes hole! Today's update is a delicious, savory-sweet treat that the boy and I had for the first time this past fall: maple-ish roasted acorn squash, recipe courtesy of Closet Cooking.

Butternut Squash Gratin with Blue Cheese and Sage

Ah, yet another fall recipe. This butternut squash gratin with blue cheese and sage is delicious and relatively easy -- once you get past the part where you have to cube that squash.

Baked Pear with "Streusel"

Another brief blast from the past -- baked pears with streusel filling.

The Wedding Cupcake Blitz Begins

Being somewhat compulsive can result in a lot of stress when I run out of things to compulse about. Since we've made such great progess on all of our wedding items thus far, I've decided to add another "to do" to my list in order to feed both my compulsions and belly: Cupcakes. As of now, we've tried out 8 recipes and we have two left to try. Mmmm, delicious experimentation. Today, I'm going to share with you the first recipe--and I think, still the best--that I made: Champagne Cupcakes, courtesy of the fantastic blog, Gimme Some Oven.
