This hearty pasta dish will get you through the most active & busiest days…
I love this time of year! We can enjoy heartier dishes like my Tortellini with Creamy Pumpkin Sauce. I came up with this recipe on a whim, my mom & dad were coming over to visit & fall flavors seemed like the right thing to do. We enjoyed this dish (and a few others that I will post soon) surrounded by the golden glow of the Aspen trees!
This recipe takes just minutes to prepare. It’s quick, easy & completely delicious! The pumpkin flavor is subtle & elegant. I added a touch of cinnamon to round off the fall flavors & some pure maple syrup for the tiniest bit of sweetness. My daughter who can be super picky loved this tortellini! That always makes me super happy…to get the picky eaters help themselves to 2 servings!
I’ll be making it throughout the fall & winter, that’s for sure! Top it all off with bacon crumbles & serve with a side salad.

Looking for a totally satisfying meal for #MeatlessMonday? This casserole is a great option!
This time of year I’m totally into casseroles. My oven was on a bit of a break during the summer & now we’ve rekindled our love affair. There are two bonuses with the oven fired up: I can make delicious food & it helps to warm up the house on chilly fall days, which we’ve been having here in Telluride.
Casseroles are simple to whip up and my Chickpea Enchilada Casserole recipe is sure to be a hit with the entire family!
If you have a vegetarian in your family then this recipe is sure to impress them. But don’t worry…meat lovers will be equally satisfied too! This dish has plenty of protein-packed power with lots of chickpeas, sour cream & cheddar cheese. Serve with a side salad if desired.
Here’s another Mexican inspired casserole you should try too…my Cheesy Green Rice & Chicken Casserole, if you want to keep things meatless on this dish you can swap out the chicken for chickpeas, tofu or any beans you like best!
