This easy recipe produces a moist, fluffy, and flavorful pumpkin bread with ribbons of cinnamon sugar inside and a crisp, craggly cinnamon crust.

There’s just something…

Sweet cornbread, salty bacon AND sausage, tons of herbs and aromatics, and crunchy toasted pecans make this stuffing the most popular side dish on your Thanksgiving table. It’s about time that we all start ironing out…
Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread
Apple Fritter Pull-Apart Bread. This is one of my most popular easy recipes, and for good reason. With sweet, fall-spiced apples, fluffy biscuit layers, and a delicious vanilla glaze, this pull-apart bread is always a hit. After making Buffalo Chicken Pull-Apart Bread a few years back (don’t tease me for the bad pictures, that post needs to…
Homemade Garlic Naan
Homemade Garlic Naan. Even if you’ve never made bread at home before, this soft, chewy, garlicky flatbread is easy to make and well worth the effort. You’re going to love serving it with your favorite Indian dishes. If I could craft an idyllic version of myself– we’ll call her Dream Morgan– she’d be the sort…
Grilled Peach and Halloumi Panzanella
Grilled Peach and Halloumi Panzanella. This summer salad includes a mix of quickly grilled peaches, halloumi cheese, and ciabatta bread croutons that are tossed with fresh basil, red onions, and a simple white balsamic vinaigrette. It looks and tastes fancy, but it only takes less than a half-hour to prepare! I placed this platter on…
Caramelized Onion and Garlic Bread
Caramelized Onion and Garlic Bread. Who ever thought that garlic bread could get even better? A sweet garlic-onion-herb butter is smeared over spongy ciabatta, hit with plenty of parmesan, and baked until beautifully browned. At the risk of ruining my well-established reputation as the pinnacle of all things cool (haaaah), I’ve started doing food trivia…
Buffalo Chicken Dip Stuffed Bread
Listen, I’m not saying that this Buffalo Chicken Dip Stuffed Bread has magical powers or anything… but I’ve made it for every single game since my Homegate several weeks ago and now my team is going to the Super Bowl, baby! Some people have pregame rituals. Some have lucky outfits. I have an ultra…
5 Ingredient Nutella Banana Bread
What do you get when your boyfriend insists that he’ll eat an impossible amount of fruit every time you go grocery shopping, but then it sits out on the counter, untouched? Fruit flies! Wait, no, that’s not what I was trying to get at. You get brown bananas. Lots of brown bananas. And being that Hypothetical You (AKA…
Pepperoni Pizza Stuffed Garlic Bread
So I’ve seemingly tripped at the entrance of 2017 and fallen clean past the “healthy eating of the New Year” phase, straight down to the foot of Super Bowl snack-time. Oh nooooo… ? Ah, I can’t even pretend to be bummed about it.
Dubliner-Dill Skillet Irish Soda Bread
I’m about to reveal something pretty controversial, so hold on to your seat belts. …I think raisins RUIN perfectly good soda bread. It’s true. I like my crumbly, dense, delicious soda bread to be savory and buttery and definitely not filled with little sugar-bombs of wrinkly, dried grapes. Alas, every option I’ve seen at the grocery store…
Italian Style Stuffing
Here in New Jersey, Italian-Americans make up almost 18% of the state’s population– surpassed in overall number only by our neighbor to the north, New York. This means that, despite the fact that I have not a drop of Italian blood in me, I’m surrounded by plenty of sources for a peek into Italian-American culture. Or…
Spinach and Artichoke Dip Stuffed Garlic Bread
I hope I never go through another bad break-up. I certainly don’t plan to. But if the unfortunate day comes when I’m licking my emotional wounds while watching Pretty Woman and ugly-crying on the couch, I will break one break-up stereotype: I’ll stay away from the Ben & Jerry’s. I’ll make myself this Spinach and Artichoke Dip…
Spicy Egg Clouds in Ciabatta Boats
Did I mention that I was going on vacation to Lake George? And that I went, came back, and have been home for about a week now (but still have not snapped back from “I need to be out in a cabin in the mountains” mode)?
Sun-Dried Tomato & Feta Pull-Apart Garlic Knots
It’s 2015, so I finally decided I should start using that personal twitter account I created 4 years ago. Now I’m sucked in– I think it was the Foodie Band Name hashtag that sealed my fate. I used to tell everyone that I didn’t use twitter because I just didn’t get it, but I’m starting…
Nut-Crusted Fried Brie Bites
I don’t know about you, but I feel like there is not nearly enough cheese in the traditional Thanksgiving spread. Cheese, in all of its variations, definitely makes my “Grateful For:” list every year. As a result, I put cheese in my mashed potatoes, cheese in my dessert, and used warm, buttery, melted cheese as…
