While I like to assume that my husband married me for my irresistible charm, girlish good looks, and sparkling personality, I know better: he married me for my easy baked beans (and this Jalapeno Cornbread). Broadly speaking, he actually married me for Kansas City barbecue, of which baked beans are a critical component. Whenever we head back to my hometown, at least two barbecue runs are a mandatory part of our travel agenda....

It’s officially the first week of fall! Are you making everything pumpkin yet? The Midwest has been having its usual identity crisis, alternating cool, rainy days with hot, humid ones. That’s not stopping me from being in a pumpkin mood, though. I already made healthy pumpkin muffins a couple weeks ago.

Eggnog, in theory, is the ideal holiday drink (as is Mulled Wine). It’s pleasantly spiced and so thick and creamy, it practically demands to be thinned out with bourbon or rum. However, it’s also so incredibly indulgent that every holiday season I crave exactly one tiny glass of eggnog. No more. No less. Eggnog bread, however, I can happily devour loaf after loaf without ever growing tired of its warm spices and buttery softness (ditto goes for this Pumpkin Coffee Cake)....

I make a KILLER risotto. Seriously… It’s so good that there’s never any leftovers. I wasn’t always as good at making risotto. It took me a few crash and burn attempts, but eventually, with practice, I think I mastered the Art of Cooking the Perfect Risotto. My secret? TLC! Don’t leave the stove. Stay with your risotto from beginning to end. You want to make sure you cook it with love until it’s al dente....

A sucker for a good deal, I never fail to overbuy on zucchini in the summer when the farmers at our local market are all but giving it away, and my green thumb friends are desperately looking to share their wealth. Since one cannot live on Healthy Zucchini Muffins and Zucchini Cookies alone (SIGH), I’ve taken to using zucchini to make all manner of side dishes. When we’re staying inside for dinner, oven and stovetop recipes like Roasted Zucchini, Sauteed Zucchini, or Zucchini Fries fit the bill....

Maybe I’ve been sitting too close to a lit pumpkin spice candle, but I felt the air change this week. Instead of flip-flops and short-sleeved tees, I found myself subconsciously reaching for slippers and scarves. I’m also dumping cinnamon on everything (plus baking Cinnamon Blondies), and debating how to use my first purchased can of precious pumpkin. While Pumpkin Coffee Cake or Pumpkin Oatmeal Cookies would be tasty choices, I think these healthy pumpkin bars may just edge them out of contention....
