This is a both a tasty and healthy dish.  The garlic and herbs add tremendous flavor to the shrimp which complements the slight sweetness from the brown sugar.
Chipotle Spiced Pork Tenderloin

Chipotle Spiced Pork Tenderloin

We made this for company the other night and it was a HIT. Spicy but not too spicy, caramelized because of the sugar in the rub, and oh so flavorful.
Pumpkin Spice French Toast

Pumpkin Spice French Toast

I'm a huge fan of anything and everything pumpkin. After enjoying a pumpkin pie (obviously), many (and I mean many) pumpkin spice lattes and even some pumpkin flavored ice cream, I needed a new recipe to enjoy. Then I came up with this gem!
Sausage and Apple Stuffing

Sausage and Apple Stuffing

This is easily our favorite stuffing recipe...and we've tried many over the years. We prefer the varying texture that large cubed french bread provides over cornbread.
Ethiopian Berbere Lamb Stew

Ethiopian Berbere Lamb Stew

We made this tasty stew last weekend and were thrilled with the results.  Just the right amount of spice, which complemented the savory and fork-tender lamb.  Perfect for warming up on a chilly Fall evening!

With just the right seasonings, this has become our 'go-to' Fajita recipe for both steak and chicken.
Carrot Cake with Maple-Cream Cheese Frosting

Carrot Cake with Maple-Cream Cheese Frosting

We make this cake every Thanksgiving and every year we wonder why we only make it once a year. It is absolutely delicious. Hands down the best carrot cake we have ever tried. The cake has a beautiful bright orange color, the cinnamon and ginger make it super flavorful, and it maintains a lovely moist texture.
