I am a pretty decent cook and thoroughly enjoy exploring new recipes that aren’t necessarily tried and true. Something I’ve never cooked is lamb, and someday, when I have more time, I want to make this:

How scrumptious and delectable that looks! Nom nom nom! I like to check out that website, too, because pictures are provided and they’re always stepping outside the box with recipes.
I’ve also had pumpkin cheesecakes with gingersnap cookie crusts on the brain, probably because of the Fall weather. I absolutely love this time of year with smells of cinnamon and cloves wafting through the air. Cinnamon is one of my top 5 favorite spices in the kitchen, and it goes in my coffee every chance I get. Some other recipes that come to mind are bread pudding, whole wheat muffins, and canned apple butter! I mastered the apple butter last year and want to do that again…
It’s all in moderation! As my Dad always says, you can have cake, just make it one forkful! 
hah (or a reasonable slice).
Bring on the lovely, chilly weather and cozy get-togethers with friends and family – and having more time to play in the kitchen!
