Joy Bauer’s Pumpkin Pancakes
Autumn is finally here, and with the changing of the leaves, so changes my diet to include more pumpkin. It’s practically a requirement, am I right? Really, pumpkin is an extremely healthy ingredient (rich in the anti-oxidant beta carotene) that could (and should!) be used year-round.

Spring Pasta with Baby Spinach, Tomatoes, and Ricotta Cheese
To me, this pasta dish announced the arrival of spring. Never-mind the fact that it’s snowing outside right now, on April 1. That’s beside the point.

Pizza Margherita
I made this pizza a while back when I had a severe pizza craving, but didn’t want to give in to the grease of Domino’s.
