Breakfast is a fickle time. Some people don’t have time or desire to throw anything together in the morning. Others love it, but sometimes it can get repetitive—a variation of eggs, toast, maybe some vegetables or ham for you meat eaters out there. Muffins are good sometimes but end up being filled with more sugar…

Pumpkin Tequila Chili
I love chili. While it’s easy enough to make at home with the basics—tomatoes, onion, beans, broth—I often find I can’t reduce it down to the level of thickness I really want.

Pumpkin Cheesecake with Ginger Cookie Crumble Crust
My possible favourite all-time smell is the middle of a pumpkin. And my favourite type of cake is cheesecake. And I’m a ginger. THIS IS MY KIND OF CAKE. I have never used a spring form pan up until now, and I love how easy they are BUT I used the wrong size so the…
