Baked Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal

This Baked Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Oatmeal tastes indulgent enough to be dessert but is actually an easy, healthy breakfast everyone will love. This time of year we rotate between this, Pumpkin Pie Chia Seed Pudding , and Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Bread . It's fall, ya'll! (I've always wanted to say "ya'll.") And with that comes everything pumpkin. I know, I know, you're probably sick of pumpkin by now but you know what? I'm going to embrace it, because I love it. And, it's a fall thing, and it's fall, so I figure I'll just go with the season and the flavors of the season that I enjoy eating. Pumpkin isn't just for pies and lattes, either, you know. It makes a yummy ingredient in breakfast foods as well — like muffins, breads, and oatmeals. Oatmeal is so easy to make for breakfast, and easy to make ahead. Whether you try overnight oats , prep your oatmeal for baking , or just enjoy microwaving it, it really doesn't matter. It's

Baked Roasted Vegetable Ziti

Baked Roasted Vegetable Ziti packed with peppers, zucchini, summer squash, and eggplant all tossed with ziti and baked with marinara sauce and mozzarella cheese is a hearty and healthy dish the whole family will love. It's one of the easy pasta dishes we love to make when the weather gets cold along with this Spinach and Artichoke Pasta and Chicken and Mushroom Pasta .

And most pasta dishes can be made to satisfy all of those (though not generally at the same time). Whether I'm feeding myself or a crowd, picky or plentiful eaters, meat or veggie lovers, I know I can always whip up a pasta dish and please just about anyone and everyone.

Easy Three Ingredient Mashed Cauliflower

This easy mashed cauliflower is carb-conscious comfort food at its best. With just three ingredients, you probably already have what you need at home to make this low carb mashed potato substitute. There are some recipes that are basic staples in any home cook's repertoire and I believe this is one of those recipes, especially if you are trying to eat healthier or lower your carbohydrate intake. Simple mashed cauliflower can stand in for mashed potatoes any night. It is creamy, delicious and, with under 100 calories per serving, a guilt-free side dish. It can also be customized a million ways depending on what you're in the mood for. Try subbing cream cheese for the butter, adding some sharp Parmesan or goat cheese, adding a pinch of nutmeg, or blending in some roasted garlic. You can also use olive oil or one of the many dairy-free butter substitutes on the market to make 3 ingredient mashed cauliflower vegan-friendly. One of the beauties of this versatile recipe is that it
