This season it seems everywhere I look, I see chocolate topped with sea salt, caramel made with fleur de sel, or salted candies of some kind. And it tastes so good; that combination of salt, sugar and chocolate! I looked through our holiday recipes, and found a really easy sea salt, chocolate and caramel version. …
These pumpkin muffins are easy, quick and satisfying – there are only 3 steps. Everyone in the family will love them! Especially pumpkin spice latte lovers, like me. You can also sub 1/4 of the flour for whole-wheat or almond flour, and part or all of the sugar with alternative sugar (like erithritol or monkfruit) …
Pumpkin pie, a holiday tradition. Whether you like the classic version or a slightly more flavorful Bourbon version (which makes this the favorite for my family), it’s just not the holidays without a pumpkin pie of some kind.

If you’re like me, you have nostalgic taste buds and you remember Baked Alaska being a fancy dessert your mom only made for special dinner parties. It went very well with an Old Fashioned cocktail, Beef Wellington and brightly colored polyester pantsuits. She probably learned how to make this dessert from her mom, who impressed …
