Thanksgiving is fast approaching, and my love of all things pumpkin is hardly waning. From yogurt to muffins, I relish this tasty flavor of Fall. If you're looking for a pumpkin pie alternative, these pumpkin-carrot bars are delish.

One vegetable delight of Autumn is the Brussels sprout. These small leafy balls are packed with fiber as well as taste, and they deserve a place at your Thanksgiving table.
My favorite method of cooking Brussels sprouts is to roast them.

Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays because I love all the warm, savory dishes. This one has been in my family for years and it's sweet, creamy, and has a crunchy topping that reminds me of homemade mac and cheese. It's easy to prepare ahead of time, and is a great alternative to mashed potatoes or stuffing.

It's harvest time for apples and pears, and nothing says Autumn like warm crisp featuring both Fall fruits. Here is a variation of a recipe from RecipeZaar. I substituted a few things like Sucanat for brown sugar, whole wheat flour for all-purpose flour, and Earth Balance margarine in place of butter.

Breakfast is my absolute favorite meal, but I don't always have the time to cook a healthy meal early in the morning. With an hour preparation on the weekend, though, these breakfast cookies can save you that extra time in the morning and keep you right on track with your heart healthy diet. And they're easy to tote along in your lunch box for a quick afternoon snack.

Hi readers,
I know it's been a long time since I wrote a post, but it's for a good reason. I am currently working on a BOOK for LifeTips (www.lifetips.com) that will be a 101 Tip Book on Healthy Eating. It will have all the main principles of this blog, plus tons of in-depth explanations, as well as recipes.

fall is here.
it's obvious-- from the weather to the changing leaves to the crop of non-rerun television shows.
and then, of course, to the grocery store produce section.
