I'm a human being on planet earth. I've lived hundreds of lifetimes. In this incarnation I'm here to advance medicine.

1. There are plenty of versions out there, but Caroline’s Pumpkin Granola on Chocolate & Carrots caught my eye because of the a) healthy ingredients and b) gorgeous clumps of golden-orange oat clusters.

Subtly sweet and warmly spiced, this granola didn’t last long! I could not keep my hands out of the jar.

Oh, and a quick FYI: I choose to store dried fruit separately from granola in order to keep it extra crunchy. Whenever I grab a handful or pour a bowlful of the granola, I just toss in some raisins and/or dried cranberries along with it.

Delish!

2. Elle – from Elle’s New England Kitchen – posted a recipe for Espresso Pumpkin Spiced Walnuts a little while ago, and I wasted no time making these ridiculously addictive nuts.

I sprinkled in some extra pumpkin pie spice (because I’m obsessed) and the resulting sweet, crunchy, and spicy nuts were even better than I had anticipated!

Most were consumed straight outta hand, but I reserved some for sprinkling over salads and oatmeal.

3. Jaclyn, who writes a new favorite blog of mine, food + words, came up with a very creative take on slaw: Apple & Pear Slaw with Caramel Cider Vinaigrette.

I really enjoyed this creative recipe! The caramel flavor isn’t so distinctive that the slaw tastes like dessert, but it adds a delicious sweetness to the apples and pears.

Don’t like cabbage and/or mayo? Try this seasonal fruit slaw instead.

4. I also recently made this Pumpkin Cinnamon Applesauce from The Novice Chef.

I used closer to 2 lbs apples (organic Honey Crisps), subbed in apple cider for the water, and added in 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice.

This pumpkin applesauce – which has no added sugar – is amazing!! I will definitely be making it over the course of the next few months… as well as years to come.
