I was recently emailed by a blog reader named Kara who wanted to know if I could make a version of my Peppermint Patty Bars using dates as a sweetener. I thought it was a great challenge indeed! The original Peppermint Patty Bars are below, complete with a chocolate layer and large flake coconut on […]

It’s time to face the cold hard truth: tomato season won’t be here for much longer. That is, unless my freezer has anything to say about it! Out of all the summer vegetables (or is it fruit?), I think tomatoes are the ones I mourn the most when the season is over. There’s nothing worse […]

Every morning around 6am my alarm clock goes off. It starts quietly and gets progressively louder and more annoying if I try to fall back to sleep. I’m usually in the middle of some random dream and I think about it for a few minutes as I try to will myself back to sleep. If […]

Another weekend is upon us! You know what that means – kicking back, unwinding from a busy back-to-school week, and making this creamy pumpkin pie smoothie to reward all your hard efforts. Whoever said you shouldn’t reward yourself with food really needs to try this smoothie. Seriously! Thanks to adding soaked rolled oats and chia […]

I unofficially deem this Sugar Pumpkin Week here on Oh She Glows. No wait, make that officially! I’m not talking canned pumpkin this week. I’m certainly not talking large carving pumpkins this week. But sweet, cute-as-a-button sugar pumpkins. The ones that started showing up quite early in my grocery store at the end of August […]

If you’ve been reading this blog for a year or longer, you may know that I’m head over heels for Homemade Pumpkin Butter.

Hi! I am Marla from Family Fresh Cooking and I am thrilled to be here on Oh She Glows today. This is my second feature here and I am more than thrilled to be hosted again by Angela! How is your September going? I cannot believe how quickly the time is going. When it comes […]

Eric and I agreed to a laid back celebration for our wedding anniversary a couple weeks ago. Homemade cards and a home cooked meal sounded perfect, we had said. I whipped up a killer meal and we were just about in heaven stuffing ourselves silly. Eric kept asking me when we could open our cards. […]

The first time I roasted pumpkin seeds, I burned the crap out of them. It was heart-breaking, especially since I wasn’t convinced it was even worth the effort in the first place. All that seed cleaning and pumpkin de-stringing – I didn’t even get to enjoy the fruits of my labour. Hrmph. Here is the […]

One of my favourite fall vegetables is, without a doubt, the butternut squash. Growing up, I rarely ate squash and really didn’t know how good it was. Once I started blogging, I was inspired by all kinds of recipes and gave it another shot. Now, I can’t imagine going more than a week or so at a time […]
