This warm and cozy fall dessert is simple to make (thanks to store-bought frozen puff pastry) and is perfect for Thanksgiving. I’d never heard of a pandowdy up until this year. Have you? It’s a classic American dessert with origins in New England and dates back quite some time. I’ve made crisps and crumbles, buckles and betty’s,…

Turkey Pot Pies with Bacon, Caramelized Onions + Butternut Squash
This cozy recipe for Turkey Pot Pies with Bacon, Caramelized Onions, and Butternut Squash is sponsored by the National Turkey Federation. All opinions are 100% my own. This here, my friends, is fall on a plate. It’s basically the food equivalent of jumping in a pile of leaves while wearing an oversized sweater and plaid flannel scarf. It’s…
Red Wine Poached Pear Tarte Tatin
If this deep burgundy, wine-soaked, upside down pear tart doesn’t say “The Holidays,” well my friends, I just don’t know what does.
Brown Butter Pumpkin Galette with Caramelized Onions, Goat Cheese + Sage
It’s Thanksgiving week! Time to turn on the oven, crank up the tunes and bust out your fanciest pair of stretchy pants. We’ve got a lot of work to do.
Chicken Pot Pie
November is for pies. And not just sweet pies. All kinds of pies! I love pie. Have I mentioned that? Buttery, flaky crusts are my kryptonite. Pie is seriously the best.

Blueberry Peach Crostata
Blueberry and peach season overlap for a very brief moment here in New Jersey. Blueberry season starts in early-mid June and usually goes until the end of July, early August max. While peach season usually begins in early-mid July and wraps up in the beginning of September. It’s a shame that they aren’t in season…
Cherry Vanilla Ricotta Crostata
So this is sort of an oddly timed post. You see, I want to tell you all about these locally grown cherries. I want to gush about this ultra creamy homemade ricotta that I picked up at our local Italian market. I really, truly do want to endlessly babble on (again) about flaky, buttery pie crust. …
Meyer Lemon + Cardamom Tart
This Meyer Lemon and Cardamom Tart showcases one of my favorite flavor pairings of all time: Meyer lemon and cardamom. This bright, citrusy tart is insanely delicious and perfect for spring gatherings. Just recently, Chaser told me that lemons are his favorite fruit. We’re talking all-time-favorite here. The absolutely no competition, hands down kind of favorite. It…
Grandma’s Apple Pie
“When you die, if you get a choice between going to regular heaven or pie heaven, choose pie heaven. It might be a trick, but if it’s not, mmmmmmm, boy.” – Jack Handey, Saturday Night Live. I am a pie person. Let it be known. I come from a family of pie people, and hopefully one […]
