Pumpkin Cupcakes with Salted Caramel Frosting
Pumpkin Cupcakes Recipe Video If you’ve been following my show for a while, you probably know I am a sucky cake decorator. BUT THAT WILL NOT STOP ME FROM TRYING! “How cute would it be,” I thought to myself, “if I could make pumpkin cupcakes that actually were decorated to look like pumpkins, too!” So…
Read MoreBrussels Sprouts Slaw
I had a pound or so of Brussels sprouts left over after making fried Brussels sprouts and thought I’d turn them into a Brussels sprouts slaw, which is one of my favorite kinds of salad. And when I say that, I wonder to myself what constitutes a slaw? Maybe the inclusion of cruciferous vegetables —…

Vegetarian tacos recipe video – scroll down for recipe! Tempeh was one of my favorite proteins when I was vegetarian. It’s nutty, it’s chewy, it’s all around more interesting than tofu any day.
