#121: Pfeffernüsse (Peppernut Cookies)
Pfeffernüsse, meaning Peppernuts in German, are small spice cookies originating from Germany that are typically enjoyed during the Christmas season.

#119: Lobster Butternut Squash Ravioli
I was trying to think of a really special recipe to end this year’s round of Nostalgic November dishes with, and after thinking back on the dishes I’ve enjoyed in the past, this ravioli dish came back to memory after reaching back to my childhood. Specifically, this ravioli dish came from the same restaurant I…

#118: New England Clam Chowder
I’ve always been a fan of New England Clam Chowder ever since I was young. In fact, one of my earliest memories is of when my family and I went to a pier off the coast of California and ate some clam chowder in a bread bowl. I remember it being super cold that morning,…

#115: Pumpkin Shaped Pumpkin Buns
I was originally going to finish off our spooktacular month with a sweet pumpkin bread recipe for this week and shape it into a Jack o’ Lantern, but then I remembered that pumpkin bread is more of a cake recipe in that it’s initially a batter rather than a dough before baking. So, obviously that…

I had seen a recipe for gnocchi a few months ago and I thought the shape looked a lot like a grub, so that gave me an idea to think of a fun recipe to do for spooktob3r. I wasn’t quite sure how to make it look more like a grub, but I wasn’t the…

#113: Monster Soup
Ever since we made some recipes from the Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom for this channel, I’ve been really wanting to make the more exotic recipes that weren’t already real recipes in real life, and one of the first ones I wanted to make was the monster soup.…

#112: Monster Apple Slices
For our first Spooky recipe for this year, I thought it would be fun to start with another simple and easy-to-make treat that you can make with your kids during this halloween season. Because of knives being sharp, I would probably have the adults or older kids do the first step of cutting the apples,…
