Nutmeg Recipes

Quick and easy protein drink for those on-the-go. The protein powder will keep you full longer. You can substitute 2 tablespoons peanut butter for the dates.

These are delicious!

Stracciatella is often referred to as 'Italian egg drop soup,' which is fine, but knowing the name actually means little, torn rags or shreds works so much better metaphorically. When you've been run ragged, stracciatella is always there for you. As you eat this, hopefully with some nice crusty bread, imagine all those little 'rags' floating in the bowl are all your torn-up problems, both real and imagined. They were there, and then they were gone. You just won--with soup.

Oatmeal made in the Instant Pot® with apples, apple pie spices, and steel-cut oats. Serve with your favorite toppings - we added pecans, a little almond milk, and a drizzle of maple syrup.

I was trying to come up with a way to use up a bunch of apples we had in our fridge. Eventually I decided to just pickle them refrigerator-style. This is the result.

Make this up in advance for sourdough pancakes. I used Celestial Seasonings® tea. Substitute water for tea if you don't have it on hand. Chopped pecans might taste good in this, as well as brandy instead of vanilla.

Mug cake that tastes like pumpkin pie.

I created this recipe when frustrated by the packets of glaze that came with spiral hams bought at the grocery store. It is sweet, with the perfect amount of spice, and makes a nice crust on the outside of the ham, similar to the famous ham store's. This recipe makes enough to cover a 3 to 5 pound ham. Store in an airtight tin if not using immediately.

This is a great basic muffin batter that can be adapted to almost anything.

Delicious! Always get 'ummm!' responses when I serve this. The Danish has apple filling and is topped with a browned butter glaze.

This a recipe that my aunt fixed up to create a substitute for apple pie spice. I normally double this recipe.

People often bake the sausage roll whole, then cut it up. But I've found that if you cut them into individual rounds first, the crispier results more than make up for the extra work. I like to eat mine dipped in a bit of mustard.

These spiced fall cupcakes are a riff on the classic Thanksgiving casserole. These days, I tend to like savory sweet potato dishes with the meal, but marshmallowy cupcakes make a terrific fall dessert! Store any leftover cupcakes in the refrigerator.

This hearty butternut squash recipe has all the warmth of fall wrapped into this one seasonally delicious dish!

I've made this delicious side dish for many occasions and I always get compliments. This comes in handy around the holidays but really, is a great way to spice up an otherwise boring meal. It also makes a great late-night snack.

This delicious pie is a hit at Thanksgiving, or anytime, really! It's a combination/adaptation of the Basic Flaky Pie Crust, Apple Pie by Grandma Ople, and Upside-Down Apple Pecan Pie.

Mix the Middle Eastern shawarma classic seasoning yourself. This version has a little lighter clove flavor.

Even with just one layer of filling in the middle of this strata, you'll be looking at a gorgeous casserole which should thoroughly impress your brunch guests . . . bottomless Mimosas or no.

This is a super moist, delicious cake. Tastes better the day after and only gets better as the days go by.

As in virtually every other pumpkin dessert, I think using pure canned pumpkin will give you the best results--it has more concentrated flavor than freshly roasted pumpkin. These light, not-too-sweet Italian doughnuts were adapted from a recipe by my old friend, Jennifer Perillo. I usually toss these in cinnamon sugar when they're still slightly warm.

This is my 90-year-old grandmother's recipe. Very simple.

Need a tasty side for any meal of the day? These are the route to go. I tried this recipe in my culinary class and they were amazing! Everyone raved about their excellent texture and flavor!

A new fall favorite in our house, adapted from both an oat scone recipe and one for pumpkin scones similar to that from a well-known coffee shop. I'm not sure if quick-cooking oats would work; try them at your own risk! If you have Penzeys® Baking Spice, I like to add 1 teaspoon of that and also use a pinch in the icing.

These are really delicious and easy to make. Serve with potatoes.
