This roasted delicata squash salad is festive, fun, and delicious! I plan on making it all fall and adding it to my Thanksgiving menu as well.

Overnight (or not!) brioche cinnamon buns ... my favorite! Kids rave! Adults go wild. These can be made one day, stuck in the fridge, and baked the following morning (such a fun treat to wake up to!) or made entirely the same day. Nothing like a homemade cinnamon roll! And is there anything better than cream cheese icing? #overnight #brioche #cinnamon #buns #breakfast #brunch #holiday #baking #christmas Easy Cinnamon Bun Recipe, Cinnamon Buns, Cream Cheese Icing, Cinnamon Cream Cheeses, Lard, Brioche Recipe, Breakfast Recipes, Breakfast Brunch, Brioche Buns

Boozy Chocolate Truffles — a holiday favorite! Truffles are a simple but delicious dessert, an elegant homemade gift, and a festive treat to break out at impromptu gatherings.

Buttermilk-currant scones — a favorite! This buttermilk scone recipe is the one I use year-round, studded with berries in the summer and currants in the winter. The recipe yields a huge batch, too, which is nice when planning for visitors, so go ahead and freeze the unbaked scones and bake them off as you wish. Love these scones with freshly made lemon curd. #scones #buttermilk #currants #lemon #curd Currant Scones Recipe, Buttermilk Scone Recipe, Brunch, Tasty, Yummy Food, Most Delicious Recipe, Clotted Cream, Pastry Blender, Bon Appetit

Super Moist and Delicious Pumpkin Bread — this is a longtime family favorite, a recipe my mother has been making for decades. It's made with oil, as opposed to butter, and the batter comes together in minutes. The texture of the cake is super moist, and it stays moist for days, making it a great one to make ahead of time. It also makes a great gift. #pumpkin #bread #fall #baking Best Pumpkin Bread Recipe, Moist Pumpkin Bread, Bread Recipes Sweet, Bread Recipes Homemade, Sweet Bread, Pumpkin Loaf, Cinnamon Bread, Apple Cinnamon

Irish Soda Bread — so simple and satisfying! Here are two recipes: one calls for 100% all-purpose flour; the other calls for a mix of whole wheat, all-purpose, and wheat germ, which produces a slightly denser but no less delicious, chewy, tangy loaf. Each dough takes about 5 minutes to mix-up and each will be ready to be slathered with butter and marmalade about an hour later. #irish #soda #bread #buttermilk #simple #castiron #skillet #stpatricksday Hp Sauce, Scones, Simply Yummy, Super Simple, Irish Recipes, Czech Recipes, Simply Recipes, Wheat Germ Recipes

Meet your new favorite party trick: 4-ingredient balsamic-roasted mini peppers. They roast at high heat and emerge blistered at the edges, tasting sweet but with the right amount of bite thanks to the balsamic. What I love about them is that because they are small, there's no peeling or seeding: just dress, roast, and serve. #peppers #simple #roasted #balsamic #summer #appetizer #sidedish Mini Peppers Recipes, Sweet Pepper Recipes, Roasted Pepper Recipes, Cooking Recipes, Healthy Food Blogs, Side Dishes

These are the best and easiest brioche buns you will ever make — the no-knead dough seriously comes together in 10 minutes (or less!), and the buns can be ready to shape in 2-3 hours. You also can let the dough rise overnight in the fridge, if that timing works out better for you.

The Best, Easiest Gluten-Free Bread — gluten-free baking, and yeasted bread baking in particular, can be challenging. In some ways, however, it's easier and faster—the bread rises in the buttered bowls it bakes in and just makes one rise. It's ready for the oven when the dough crowns the rim. I find Cup4Cup gluten-free flour works the best. #bread #noknead #glutenfree #simple Gluten Free Dairy Free Recipes, Gluten Free Cooking, Pains Sans Gluten, Best Gluten Free Bread, Gluten Free Breads, Gluten Free Ciabatta Bread Recipe, Easy Gluten Free Bread Recipe, Wheat Free Bread Recipes, Gluten Free Bread Flour
