My own tried-and-true recipes for home cooks.
Pumpkin Cream Cheese Muffins
From ChatGPT: Embrace the essence of autumn with these Pumpkin Cheesecake Muffins. These heavenly morsels are a celebration of the season's bounty, blending the earthy warmth of pumpkin with the creamy decadence of cream cheese. Baking a batch of these aromatic muffins fills your home with a symphony of autumnal scents, inviting loved ones to gather around and savor the flavors of fall. With a tender crumb and a luscious core of cream cheese, these muffins are the epitome of comfort and indulgence.
Pumpkin Butter Swirl Cookies
Adapted from Eric Kim at the New York Times’ “Gochujang Caramel Cookies”, these cookies are a great autumn version of a classic sugar or snickerdoodle cookie.
Fried Brussels Sprouts
You’ve roasted Brussels sprouts before (and possibly/unfortunately steamed some, too). Once you try this frying recipe out, your days of roasting will be over. These are the best homemade Brussels sprouts I’ve ever had and are on par with the best restaurant Brussels sprouts I’ve tried. They only take 20 minutes; you just need some oil, courage, and a lot of salt.
