We will be morning people: Cinnamon pumpkin oatmeal

We will be morning people: Cinnamon pumpkin oatmeal

Years from now, when we’re 30-something grownups with real(er) jobs, our own house and a hopping household, I envision our mornings going something like this: 6 a.m.: The alarm clock rings. Jared and I awaken, alert and well rested after eight (yes, eight!) consecutive hours of sleep. 6-7 a.m.: I go for a run, Jared…

Pumpkin picking and the punkin’ snaps reboot

Pumpkin picking and the punkin’ snaps reboot

For the second year in a row, Jared and I have been less than successful in taking advantage of the apple utopia that is North Carolina in the fall. I suppose we have an excuse for missing out on the fun last year. We were new to the area, and my pleasantly plural physique tired…

An experiment in fall flavor fusion: Punkin’ snaps

An experiment in fall flavor fusion: Punkin’ snaps

Fall is home to two of the very best flavors in the entire universe: pumpkin and ginger. Once the chilly weather hits, few weeks go by when our apartment doesn’t dance in the scent of all that baked-goodness wafting from the kitchen. In fact, the decision of what to bake this time of year is…

It’s the Great Pumpkin Muffin, Charlie Brown!

It’s the Great Pumpkin Muffin, Charlie Brown!

Happy belated Halloween! I hope everyone had a spooky, wonderful holiday full of tricks, treats and enough sugary bliss to last until the turkeys thaw for Thanksgiving! I love Halloween for a lot of reasons, but I think I love it most because it’s the official kickoff to my favorite time of year. Yahoo, holiday…

The Breakfast Club: Pumpkin waffles

The Breakfast Club: Pumpkin waffles

It seems I can’t say enough about the merits of an A+ kind of breakfast (OK, I probably can — and have — said enough about my love of breakfast foods, but surely someone else out there shares my love of starchy AM goodness). I think I could eat breakfast for every meal of the…

Hi, old friend: Pumpkin scones

Hi, old friend: Pumpkin scones

I know I’ve spent a good many hours and a good many words raving about the amazing food and flavor that is pumpkin, but please bear with me. I’m going to do it again. Pumpkin and I just can’t get enough of each other. I’m convinced that certain flavors carry with them innate powers. Some…

It’s pumpkin time — again

It’s pumpkin time — again

If I had to name one baked good that’s made in our house more than any other, it would have to be the pumpkin muffin. Sure, pumpkin is generally reserved for the fall and winter months, but there’s really nothing better than walking into a house that smells like cinnamon and ginger. My little sister…

Project NYT: Spiced pumpkin oatmeal

Project NYT: Spiced pumpkin oatmeal

I’ve never been to summer camp, but I’ve seen enough mid- to late ’90s movies staring Lindsay Lohan and the Olsen twins to know how it works. You row canoes, learn to fence and mingle with fancy folks from across the pond. Then after a long day of reconnecting with your long lost twin and…
