I’ve got my mama’s sweet potato pie on my mind! 🍠// My mom makes *the* best sweet potato pie. Even though we are sweet potato pie people, I have some super ripe pumpkins at home, so I’m swinging that way this year! What’s your favorite: sweet potato pie OR pumpkin pie? Or both?!

Handmade Croissants 🥐// Did you know that croissants can be filled and glazed?! (See IG stories for a demo!) I went to ”Croissants 101,” hosted by @goboldwithbutter. I’ve made croissants more than a few times, but I had so much fun & learned so much! The biggest takeaway: use good butter! We even had a butter tasting— Cultured vs European style vs Pasture... all different and all lend a different flavor! #TTInsider

Yesterday had me anxious, but baking has always been therapeutic for me. Results aside, yesterday was a win because so many people showed up to exercise their right to vote! And thanks @ichristianrodriguez for capturing me in my kitchen doing what I do best!

Roasted squash soup in my favorite autumnal bowls//So glad that it’s cool and starting to feel like fall, so I’m sharing one of my favorite soups! I went crazy with the toppings— I love how they add texture to cream soups! Recipe here: https://www.foodieinnewyork.com/home-main/2016/10/roasted-acorn-butternut-squash-soup

Roasted Brussels Sprouts with pomegranate seeds & kumquats// These charred Brussels sprouts pair perfectly with the sweet bursts from Pom seeds. And kumquats are the perfect surprising twist to this autumnal veggie dish. #FallVeggies #BrusselsSprouts
