Pumpkin Spice Oatmeal with Toasted Pecans

This breakfast is downright decadentlike a pumpkin pie in a bowl. Don't let its sumptuousness rob you of pleasure though, this oatmeal is super-healthy too. It's loaded with fiber from the pumpkin and whole grain goodness from the oats.

Simple Arugula Salad with Lemon

This is one of my favorite “contorni”–the Italian word for side dish–and, thankfully, a super easy one to make at home. The dish is just fine with a bag of pre-washed arugula from the grocery story, but it’s a show-stopper when made with just-picked arugula from the farmers market or your garden.

“Sans Pan” Cider Gravy

This is a great gravy to use when you’re grilling a bird and don’t have a pan to collect the juices.

Stir-Fried Greens with Cremini Mushrooms and Soba

I’ve made this dish successfully with all kinds of greens, but I like tender baby spinach and bok choy derivatives the best.
