I saw a picture on Pinterest a couple of weeks ago of bananas foster. I haven't been able to stop thinking about that picture since. It's like I have been living and dreaming bananas foster for weeks.

Carrot Zucchini Bread with Cream Cheese Frosting and Walnuts
It's moist and tender. Full of all sorts of good things like carrots, zucchini, raisins, and walnuts. I like to eat mine with a generous layer of cream cheese frosting, enough frosting for each bite of cake. It's spiced with cinnamon and ginger, sweetened with brown sugar, and maple syrup. Some days I'll have a slice for breakfast, and others, I'll have a slice in the afternoon with tea. It satisfies the sweet craving but also feels healthy and substantial. You won't be disappointed.
Heart Shaped Whole Wheat Banana Pancakes
This month I have teamed up with the folks over at DOLE to bring you a heart-healthy, heart-inspired recipe for American Heart Health month. It also just so happens to be Valentines Day this weekend, so if you're looking to make something healthy, delicious, and sweet (and in the shape of a heart!), this recipe is for you.
Spaghetti with olive oil, garlic, and parsley
I got this idea last week, for an olive oil, parsley, garlic, lemon, Parmesan cheese pasta. A meal that can be easily pulled together in less than 20 minutes. We've been really into that quick and easy style of cooking lately, and pasta always falls into that category, unless you're making it from scratch.
Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes
Potatoes, cheese, hot peppers, spices, butter, gah. Pure deliciousness. You know, in the dead of winter when you're really feeling like a bright crisp salad with raspberries and goat cheese and sunshine and margaritas, and then you realize that it's still cold outside, there's snow on the ground, and that you should really start living in the moment. Cheesy comfort food is the way to go, and we can only get away with eating these foods a few months out of the year, so might as well take advantage of that fact.

How to Make A Classy Gin and Tonic
Last month, I went on a 'ima buy all the fancy booze things online and make me a proper bar for the holidays' spree, and in my search, I found this Jack Rudy Cocktail Co. 17fl oz hand crafted in the South, bottle of the best dang tonic I have ever tasted. People, if you like gin and tonic, you need to order a bottle pronto, because it is a game changer.
Sage Roasted Cauliflower and Chickpea Pasta
Roasting vegetables is something we do a lot around here. Lately, I've been dabbling in roasted chickpeas, which make a killer addition to Caesar salad, pasta, or for snacking. I love the idea of warm roasted vegetables piled high on top of pasta, drizzled with olive oil, and topped with seasonal herbs.

Gingersnap Pumpkin Tarts
After Thanksgiving, I decided to experiment with my pumpkin pie recipe. I wanted to try and make it into mini tart form. I choose little gingersnap tart shells, because of gingersnap cookies, and tiny food, am I right? The tart crust came out soft and caramel, almost chewy. It was a perfect combination to the pumpkin filling.
