How I got started

For years, I have been coming up with recipes and having to make do with imperfect scenarios. Whether it was not being able to afford the expensive ingredients or not having the proper tools, I learned to find a way. I finally decided to own these skills and be intentional about them. That’s why I started this website. You can learn from my past and future mistakes, my successes, and everything in between.

My first secret: Bake happy.

TRUFFLE BALSAMIC WHIPPED RICOTTA RECIPE 👇👇👇
This is such a hit at parties, SAVE for your next cheese/app night! 

The ricotta base can be used to lighten a dish like a flat bread, or as a dip with a flavor. Today I added balsamic truffle glaze (Ponti Truffle Condiment) to it and let me tell you it was INCREDIBLE. I just put this on toast and drizzle hot honey or just serve it as a dip! 

SHARE What flavor are you going to add to your whipped ricotta???

INGREDIENTS:
1) 1/2 cup fresh ricotta (I got mine by the pound from an Italian store, and the fresher your ricotta the better this will taste!)
2) 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream. 
3) 1/4 cup mascarpone 
4) 3 tsp truffle balsamic glaze (Ponti Truffle Condiment) 
5) Drizzle of hot honey (I use @mikeshothoney)

NOTE: This recipe ^^ makes double the amount that is shown in the bowl in the video. I only mixed half of the whipped ricotta with the balsamic truffle glaze, and used the rest for another flavor. 

Directions: 
1) Add the ricotta, heavy whipping cream and mascarpone to a magic bullet or equivalent. The point is to whip it, so you can try to use a milk frother, small blender or hand mixer, but I have not tried. 
2) Turn on magic bullet until you hear a change in the sound! 
3) transfer to a bowl and mix in the balsamic truffle glaze. 
4) Drizzle hot honey on top. Serve with crackers or toast and enjoy!!

Fall Prosciutto and Squash Flatbread Recipe👇👇
Seriously guys YAY or NAY on this combo??? 

SAVE this for next time you need to impress someone with an appetizer!! 

INGREDIENTS:
1 flat bread standard size (I got mine at @aldiusa ) 
1/3 cup butternut squash butter (see previous reel for recipe!)
2 handfuls of mixed greens (just enough to have a bit on each slice) 
4 slices of prosciutto
3 tbsp pomegranate (or to your liking) 

Whipped Ricotta: (I usually double this and get extra for a dip, it’s harder to whip the smaller amounts) 

1/4 cup fresh ricotta cheese (I got mine at an Italian specialty store)
2 tbsp mascarpone
3 tbsp heavy cream 

Directions: 
1) Heat flatbread as per instructions. You can make your own or purchase it. I tossed mine into the oven at 425 for 7 minutes.

Whipped Ricotta:
Combine all the ingredients. I put them in a magic bullet cup and blend until I hear the sound change. 
You can use a milk frother, immersion blender, or what ever you have available to whip this. The goal is to make it look like whipped cream. 

Combine:
1) Spread the butternut squash butter.
2) add the whipped ricotta and lightly spread it on top. 
3) Toss on the mixed greens 
4) Sprinkle the pomegranate 
5) Rip each prosciutto slice in 2 or 3 pieces and add the Prosciutto such that there is at least one piece on each future slice.
6) Cut the flatbread and serve!

BUTTERNUT SQUASH BUTTER RECIPE👇 This is one of BUTTERNUT SQUASH BUTTER RECIPE👇
This is one of my favorite fall recipes! Do you have any extra squash lying around after the holidays? This butternut squash butter is perfect on toast, in pies, cheesecakes, in appetizers, you name it. I even make a fall proscuitto, pomegranate flatbread with whipped ricotta using this butter as the base and it is HEAVENLY! Definitely a recipe to SAVE for the future! 

Ingredients: 
4 cups frozen cubed butternut squash thawed.(you can get them from Aldi if you would like or use left over)
1/2 cup water 
1/4 cup light brown sugar
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon 
1/4 tsp nutmeg 
Optional: 1 tsp vanilla extract 

Directions:
1) Cook butternut squash in pan. You can use unthawed butternut squash but it would take longer. You can also bake a butternut squash in the oven, scoop it out and make this. For that version visit my website in bio for details! 
2) When the butternut squash is tender add in the water, stir and let simmer. 
3) When the water evaporates, add in the sugar, salt, and spices. Add in vanilla extract if you prefer. 
4) Mix until combined. 
5) Transfer to a blender, or a container that is compatible with an immersion blender. 
6) Blend until smooth and enjoy! 

Check out my butternut squash butter cheese cake, no bake cheesecake, and mini pies on my website. I will be posting the recipe for the flatbread soon so stay tuned!

Fall has me ready for some spooky vibes so I had s Fall has me ready for some spooky vibes so I had some fun with my salad this morning. Thank you @yourfreshexpresssalad for introducing me to this incredible mix. I tried the new Twisted Pesto Caesar Salad Kit and I fell in love. It is such a simple but refreshing salad. All I did was throw in a few tomatoes, but to be honest it really didn’t need it. This dressing is now my favorite. I had some left over and just started dipping veggies in it😁.

NO-BAKE BUTTERNUT CHEESECAKE👇👇👇 Fall is NO-BAKE BUTTERNUT CHEESECAKE👇👇👇

Fall is here which means making butternut squash butter and using it in EVERY dessert recipe 😂. 

Find the recipe for butternut squash butter on my blog (link in bio) if you don’t have it in store. This recipe is dependent on whether you bought/made butternut squash butter, feel free to substitute pumpkin purée and 1tsp of cinnamon 1/2 tsp of nutmeg for a pumpkin flavor if you do not want to make the butternut squash butter. You can also add some sweetener, since the butternut squash butter has sugar. But it is up to you! 

INGREDIENTS:
12 Keebler mini graham cracker crusts 
8 oz light cool whip 
4 oz 1/3 fat cream cheese 
1 cup butternut squash butter (or pumpkin purée and spice substitution. 
1 cinnamon or regular graham cracker for dusting. 

DIRECTIONS:
1) Beat the cool whip, butternut squash butter and cream cheese together. It could be helpful to whip the cream cheese first and then add the rest to prevent cream cheese clumps.
2) Fill the mini graham cracker crusts 
3) Crush the graham cracker and dust the top of the cheese cake. 
4) Cool for at least 1-2 hours so they set. They can be enjoyed immediately but you would find them a little soft. For the cream cheese texture refrigeration is necessary.
