I’ve made this a few times now, and after tweaking it, it’s gotten to the point where I need to share it. It uses a few staples that you’ll want to keep handy from now on because you never know when you’ll be snowed in and have a house full of guests. I’ve tweaked the recipe to make it nondairy, but you should feel free to swap out actual cheese for the vegan parmesan.

[Healthier] Monster Cookies

This is a perfect recipe if you are craving an oatmeal cookie that is not too sweet. These are flourless and gluten-free and simple to make. In order for them to be classic monster cookies, though, you can't skip the M & Ms, although I'm not sure why you'd want to. The original recipe arrived in my inbox from Ambitious Kitchen a few weeks ago as I was planning my holiday gift giving. I've adapted the recipe here, because, you know, I have a nut allergy :)

[It's the Great] Pumpkin Stuffed Shells with Ricotta and Spinach

When I eat pasta I want the dish to be bursting with flavor instead of me bursting at the seams. I came across this fantastic pumpkin recipe last year and adapted it for my family and out-of-town-guests to serve for dinner the night before the annual Thanksgiving Turkey Chase 10K and 2-mile fun run/walk near my house.

Pumpkin is such a nutrient rich and fairly low-carb fruit that it seems a shame to showcase all of our pumpkin recipes during the October and November holidays. But then again maybe that's why these dishes always seem so special and festive.
