New Video to LOVE

This Mini Pumpkin Cheesecake recipe has just the right amount of rich flavor (from the yummy ricotta, goat cheese and organic pumpkin) and sweetness (from the date and walnut crust and the pineapple purée).  In addition to serving it in October, we enjoy it as a special treat during the November-December holidays. It's such a smooth, creamy and delicious dessert that it is sure to become a family favorite!

Veggilicious Lasagna with Ricotta & Pesto

Growing up in a large Italian/Irish household, my family enjoyed a variety of pasta dishes on a regular basis.  Traditionally, lasagna is made with a red sauce.  However, this delicious dish is made with a fresh pesto sauce combined with a variety of organic vegetables and ricotta and mozzarella cheeses. It tastes great right out of the oven - and fabulous served the next day too!
  


Arugula Salad with Fresh Veggies & Walnuts

I love the zesty and slightly peppery taste of fresh arugula.  This salad, made with fresh veggies and diced walnuts,  is so crunchy and extremely satisfying.  At our house, we enjoy it for lunch and dinner.  If I'm not very hungry, I'll have it with a a bit of pita and hummus.  It also goes great as a side with grilled fish, chicken or meat or even a dollop of egg salad or tuna salad!
  


Pumpkin Spice Muffins 
Make them with whole wheat or gluten free flour
 
Pumpkin spice and everything nice is how I describe these deliciously moist muffins!  You can make these muffins with organic whole wheat flour or gluten-free flour.  The yogurt and applesauce gives these muffins a great texture and the pineapple chunks and diced walnuts give them some crunch!

 

Simply Delicious Table Settings:
Pumpkin Perfection! 

Create beautiful Pumpkin Table Art by carefully cutting off the top of the pumpkin and carving out the insides. You can cut patterns into the pumpkin or fill the pumpkin with a beautiful flower arrangement.   A great, safe way to illuminate your pumpkin from the inside is with a glow stick (one or more).  However, if you usually opt to use a white candle in clear glass inside your pumpkin, to be safe, make sure you don't leave the lit candle unsupervised. 




 
Simply Green Living:
Get Thrifty & Creative with Reusable Halloween Costumes
 

Halloween costumes that you purchase can cost, at a minimum, $25 on up per costume.  If you've got several children or family members to outfit, the dollars can quickly mount (along with the candy and other Halloween fun you're going to have!).  So why not get creative with reusable Halloween costumes.

Body, Mind & Spirit Bliss:
A Soapy Serene Sanctuary Designed to De-Stress

One of my favorite things to do to unwind at the end of a long, busy day is to step into a hot bath and let the stress of the day fall away.  I came across this photo of a gorgeous bath with a view, and it definitely says "heaven" to me.  Can you just imagine unwinding at the end of the day sitting in a tub like that?

While a bath with a view like this might not always be available (unless, of course, you live on a tropical isle!), you can create a relaxing ambiance in your own home's bath.  Dim or turn off the overhead lighting and light some fragrant candles to set a calming mood. Pour some luxurious smelling bubble bath potions and soothing salts in your tub.  Play your favorite music (in an area away from any water source) and sit back and luxuriate!
