 There’s nothing more comforting than the warm cozy feeling of homemade soup.

Calling this recipe ‘easy pumpkin soup’ is an understatement. This pumpkin soup is made with canned pumpkin which makes the process so easy and more importantly, it’s made in just one pan for an even simpler process and clean up. The bonus is that this recipe lets you enjoy a good comforting soup with warm and delicious fall flavors all year round.

Salads

Panzanella Salad with Croissant Croutons

By Christie

Panzanella is a very simple Italian salad. It features tomatoes, fresh basil, onions, toasted stale bread, and a light vinaigrette. It is also called bread salad, some will say that the bread is the star of the dish.

Panzanella is the perfect summer salad to pair with tomatoes at their summer peak.

Baked Marsala Chicken Meatballs

By Christie

Baked Chicken Marsala Meatballs

Chicken Marsala is delicious, it is one of my favorite recipes—so easy and definitely a crowd-pleaser.

We had been craving chicken meatballs so I decided to pair them with a creamier, heartier marsala sauce and it turned out incredible. I made the meatballs with sautéed shallots and garlic, which added a sweet and caramelized flavor and I was already going to use them in the sauce. The meatballs are full of flavor, soft and tender, insanely delicious soaked in the creamy and silky sauce.

I love soups. Soups are warm and comforting and they always make you feel better. There is nothing that makes you feel more at home during these cold winter nights than a hearty bowl of soup and wine, wine is good too 🙂

This cauliflower soup is perfect for fall and winter but I am sure you will enjoy it all year round.

Cream Cheese Swirled Chai Pumpkin Cake

By Christie

Cream Cheese Swirled Chai Pumpkin Cake

Chai and Pumpkin are a match made in heaven. We all love the combination of cinnamon and pumpkin, but adding the chai spices brings out all that sweet and earthy flavor of the pumpkin. And let’s not forget the cream cheese swirl that adds that soft creamy bite in between; just layers, and layers of sweet and warm textures and spices.

I finished the cake with thick vanilla icing and added glazed walnuts and a few crystallized ginger pieces.  The walnuts and ginger pieces added another layer of flavor that will take you to pumpkin cake heaven!

Chocolate Marbled Banana Bread

By Christie

I have made banana cakes and bread in so many different ways.   We love my chocolate granola banana bundt cake, but when the cravings call for a more decadent but healthy treat then we go for this marbled banana bread.

The combination of chocolate and bananas with the addition of a few (or a lot!) dark or semi-sweet chocolate chips is simply to live for. Not to mention how quick and easy it is to put together.
