I’m about to tackle an orange cranberry pull-apart bread for dinner tonight, which reminded me of these fluffy mounds of beauty I made right before leaving for the UK. Orange and cranberry screams the flavors of winter, so I can only do it justice by making into little cakes. I made these muffins with fresh cranberries, but they can be easily replaced with dried ones. These cuties are soft and MOIST and go down so well with a cup of tea (or coffee, if java is your calling)....
Have more zucchini in your garden? Try my zucchini soup and my zucchini casserole next! Zucchini Parmesan This is definitely one of my favorite ways to make use of garden zucchini during the summer.

I love sneaking avocado into smoothies and puddings because it’s loaded with potassium (it has even more than bananas do!), vitamin K, folate, and healthy fats that will leave you feeling satisfied for hours.

If you’d prefer a non-chocolate flavor, try blending it with mango or pineapple for a more tropical twist!...

My very first Friensgiving was 9 years ago, during my first year of law school. I decided not to go home because plane tickets were too expensive. Holiday travel is the worst, by the way. Besides, it was almost time for us to hunker down in our respective caves to study for finals. Fortunately, one of my roommates graciously invited me and three other friends over to spend Thanksgiving with her family at Williamsburg, Virginia....
