Miso Glazed Eggplant

This simple preparation for eggplant doesn’t compromise on flavor. White miso paste can be found in the refrigerated vegetable section of your grocery store near the prepared salads, salad dressings, and tofu. It lasts in the refrigerator for an entire year so it is worth the purchase.

Rosemary Focaccia

This is my go-to bread recipe. This version of focaccia has chopped rosemary, but feel free to omit. Focaccia is a great bread for beginners so don’t be intimidated if you are new to yeast.

Chocolate Avocado Pudding

Avocados are really good on tacos or mashed in guacamole, but have you tried avocados in sweet recipes? This recipe for gluten-free chocolate avocado pudding (dairy-free option) has all of the healthy fats from the avocados and lacks none of the flavors of traditional pudding.

Cherry Upside-down Cakes

Traditional upside-down cakes are made with pineapple, but this updated version uses fresh cherries and are individual cakes. Buttermilk lends to a soft and tender cake batter beneath a buttery sweet caramel with halved cherries.

Baked Corndogs

Baked corndogs are much easier to make than their fried counterpart. I use a mini muffin pan to make a two-bite version. Try swapping out traditional hotdogs for precooked sausage, chorizo, or linguica. Or, just leave out the meat for a great cornbread recipe.
