Hello my name is Nancy and I am an addict...... OK not that kind of addict. I am a kuri squash addict, well at least until they are in season. These magical orange winter squash(or is it squashes for plural?) taste so good that they have turned me into an addict. Well at least I am able to admit my addiction, which is the first step in recovery right? hmm. I can't tell you how glad I am that they are being sold in virtually all of the food stores and produce shops around my neighborhood. I ... read more

Kuri Squash Corn Muffins and the Official Start of Autumn 2010
In the northern hemisphere this 22nd and 23rd of September marks the official start of Autumn. To welcome the start of Autumn 2010 I have baked a very Autumn treat, Kuri Squash Corn Muffins. The spirit of Autumn is very much alive in these little muffins, from the vibrant colors to the taste and smell. I love Autumn first and foremost because of the vivacious color palette, which can sometimes feel like you are walking in a magical almost fairy tale painting. There is a different kind of smell ... read more

Healthy Spicy Squash Spread, Vegan
Are you tired of squash yet? You are probably thinking, "oh no not another squash recipe!" I promise this will be the last Kuri squash recipe and sadly it is also the last of my stash. Who knows maybe I'll pick up another when next time I see one at my local shop or perhaps I may be over my obsession. I don't know and can't make any promises. Often times for breakfast, brunch or as a snack I like to have a slice of bread with some sort of spread. While I try to make healthy food choices when ... read more
Meatless Mondays: 33 Pasta and Noodle Recipes
My number one choice for meatless meals is pasta. It is a great choice not only for vegetarian meals, but also because dinner can be on the table in about 30 minutes -- unless you mix it with an elaborate sauce. Another really great thing about pasta is that it is sure to satisfy even the pickiest eaters. For this edition of Meatless Mondays I've put together some of my vegetarian recipes as well as 21 more from foodie friends and bloggers. Enjoy! - Linguine with Broccoli and Creamy ... read more

Bagel Stuffing, Curry Goose Pot Pie, And Horrible Photos
**Don't forget to signup for December's YBR. December YBR Signup, Special Year-End Edition** I've been going through my photo archives the last couple of days. Magically wishing that there would be decent photos to post along with some Christmas recipes. Tragically there aren't any. The photos are horrible and they should really not be seen by anyone other than the trash icon on my desktop. It seems the more food photos I take, the more practice and learning I do the more embarrassed I am ... read more
Roasted Pumpkin and Patty Pan Stew, and A Break
Up until last week it seemed like summer was going to stay around for a while. But over this week the weather has turned more seasonal and it's finally starting to look and feel like autumn has arrived. Autumn is my second favorite season, after summer, so I'm not minding it so much. The only thing I really dislike are the grey days, too many gray days in a row. But something I really look forward to in the autumn is soups and stews. I could eat soup or stew for a whole week straight and never ... read more

The Best of Spicie Foodie: 2010 Edition
This is the best of Spicie Foodie 2010! December's YBR issue has us participants picking one recipe that was our favorite published on our blogs in 2010. While I still haven't made up my mind which is my favorite, going through my archives has given me a pretty neat insight into so many dishes that were served on our table. I'm also looking at it as a sort of diary of this year, it's a good way of seeing how healthy or unhealthy we've been eating. I think that we would receive good marks for ... read more
