Pumpkin Spice & Apple Dutch Baby

December 2, 2016May 20, 2018 Chelsea Leave a comment

Can’t decide whether you love pumpkin season or apple season more? Enjoy both! This pumpkin spice & apple dutch baby pancake is not too sweet but still feels like a special breakfast. It’s perfect for two people, so settle in with your partner in crime and make yourself a dutch baby.

I made a pumpkin spice cashew drizzle to top this off. That recipe is nestled in here too. If you don’t want to trifle with it, you can skip it altogether and use maple syrup or go crazy and combine the two. Hey, I don’t control your life!

Ginger Masala Chai Latte

CHAI! Who doesn’t adore chai? Well, I’m a fan, and this homemade ginger masala chai is my morning beverage of choice for the wintry weekend mornings on their way.

Why ginger masala chai? A local coffee shop featured a gingery chai latte in their seasonal rotation. One sip in and I knew I would have to recreate that sharp, spicy flavor at home.

Having never made true masala chai at home, I went searching for basic recipes. And I discovered something. You know how in the US, we call the drink “chai” and leave it at that? We all have an understanding of what we’re getting when we order a chai at a coffee shop. But we’re terribly wrong.

Shrimp, Sausage, and Caulirice Skillet

I’m not sure how my husband will feel about me sharing this shrimp, sausage, and caulirice skillet recipe.

You know how back in the day, families would keep their traditional recipes close to the chest, passing them down only to family members? If my man spouse had his way, I think this recipe would be that. This abashedly simple one skillet meal would become our staple. We’d make it regularly for ourselves and for dinner parties. Our astonished friends would gush over how delicious it is, not-so-hypothetically wondering how I made it. And Tjay and I would laugh and give each other a look and he would beguilingly say “it’s Chelsea’s signature recipe” or something equally dodgy.

But I have a food blog, and that’s not how food bloggers operate. So, I’m sorry, Tjay, but I’m sharing the recipe.

One Skillet Pork Chops with Apples & Onions

Need a quick weeknight dinner? These one skillet pork chops with apples & onions are an excellent choice. In about 30 minutes of cook time, you’ll have a rustic dinner gracing the table.

I’m a huge fan of apple season and this is a great way to incorporate them into a savory dish. Apples add a touch of sweetness to this meal, and the thyme and onions keep things savory. Pork chops easily pair with the apple and onion combo, and they’re quick and simple to cook.
