Celebrating Chocolate and Hazelnut, Really!

By Jen, on February 5th, 2012%

Today has been anticipated by thousands around the world, and not for the reason you think. Nope, these aren’t football fans…but fanatics of the culinary combination of chocolate and hazelnut. In case you didn’t know, today is World Nutella Day. I’m celebrating with a batch of Chocolate Hazelnut Brownie Bites. How ’bout you?

This chocolate hazelnut recipe is part of World Nutella Day. You can see more recipes in the round-ups at Ms. Adventures in Italy and Bleeding Espresso. (This in not a sponsored post, but a nod to the delicious combination of chocolate and hazelnut.)

Healthy Pumpkin Recipes plus Roasted Pumpkin Seeds and Fresh Pumpkin Puree

By Jen, on October 29th, 2011%

I don’t know what my Halloween costume will be yet, but I do know what I’ll be cooking with this weekend- pumpkin. It’s the biggest pumpkin weekend of the year!

Pumpkin is a favorite ingredient of mine. I use it to bake muffins and breads and to make smoothies and comforting soups. Really, I seem to put it in almost everything. I know my readers love pumpkin too, so I thought I’d post all my pumpkin recipes in one place to make them easier to find…and enjoy.

Vegan Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Muffins
Whole Wheat Pumpkin Cranberry Muffins


Pumpkin Bread Recipes

Pumpkin Smoothie Recipes
Vegan Pumpkin Smoothies
Pumpkin Spice Smoothies

This time of year there’s plenty of fresh pumpkins around, so making fresh pumpkin puree is a no brainer. And, it would be a shame to waste those delicious seeds. Here’s two short video recipes showing how to cook fresh pumpkin and how to bake pumpkin seeds.

Is there a healthy pumpkin recipe you’d like to see? I’m thinking of creating a vegan pumpkin ice cream recipe for Thanksgiving. Sound good?
