You're three ingredients away from the most wonderful butternut squash lentil soup ever! It's low carb, nutritious, delicious, and can be made vegan. It freezes well and is ready in 30 minutes. Anyway, it can be two ingredients also, butternut squash, and red (Turkish) lentils. Not even broth. But the nut milk adds a lot to the final product. The secret is in the ratio of both vegetables. And of the freshness of the squash in season. I don't know how it is where you live, but here butternut squash goe...

Vanilla-Pear Holiday Punch

Blossom Lady

Dec 21, 2022 12:45 PM

This holiday punch is unlike any I’ve ever had, and I think you’re going to love it. It’s not too sweet. It tastes like pear, vanilla, spice and everything nice. It’s a smooth, easy sipper, even with tequila inside. Yep, tequila! This pitcher of cocktails was inspired by an oldie but goodie, my Pear Nectar Cocktails with Reposado Tequila. That cocktail is proof that simple ingredients can yield a delightfully complex cocktail. If you’re just making one or two drinks, follow that recipe instead. You won’t...

This bread is a cold-weather dream come true, with sweet potatoes, spices, and a crunchy topping that will make you lick your fingers. It can be frozen and it makes great sweet toast. Breakfast and brunch. This sweet potato bread makes great sweet toast. The cinnamon sugar caramelizes and adds even more crunch. You don't even need a topping. Freezable. The recipe makes 2 loaves so my top recommendation is to slice leftovers and freeze them. Flavor. It reminds me of cinnamon bread with a different unde...

Pizza Bagels

Nostalgic Pizza Bagels! A classic childhood favorite made with store-bought fresh bagels and pizza sauce, lots of shredded mozzarella, and any of your favorite toppings.

Lots of memories of this classic that I’ve forgotten for too long. But the pizza bagels I remember were pretty bland and boring. Here we’ve upgraded them with bakery fresh bagels, some herbs, and garli...
