Simple & delicious?! These 2 words sum up why I’m a sweet potato fan. Chopping and roasting sweet potatoes yields a quick & easy, crave-worthy side. I typically roast sweet potatoes with a mixture of spices (chili powders, cumin, etc). But this recipe simplifies the process further by using only 1 seasoning: Herbs De Provence. It’s a blend of Italian herbs, including lavender, which adds a subtle floral note.

I love cornbread! Growing up, my mom used to make Jiffy cornbread and serve with ham and beans. I’ve developed a cornbread recipe that’s gluten-free (Jiffy is not!). I also use olive oil (Jiffy uses partially hydrogenated lard). But the result is just as delicious.

Leaves changing, temperatures cooling and the return of pumpkin-flavored treats! I love fall and the transition to heartier, warmly spiced foods. I frequently use butternut squash in my baked goods. It works well as a sub in pumpkin recipes. I buy a larger (3-4 pound) squash and roast whole (about 1-1.25 hours at 350F). Then I have plenty of squash to use in savory and sweet dishes (think creamy pear-squash soup or butternut squash pancakes with pecans & chocolate chips!).

1. Melt 3T butter in medium sauté pan (med-high heat)
2. Add 1T chopped fresh rosemary, 1t cinnamon, 1/2t cayenne, pinch nutmeg, 1t S&P & 3T brown sugar (or honey).
3. Toss in 1# pecans to coat and toast in 350 F oven for 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.
Smells & tastes delicious!
