foodie friday

You know a restaurant must really be stellar if I've blogged about it more than once.

Ladies and Gents, behold, brunch at Plow:

Butternut squash soup = fall favorite.  If ANYONE has a great recipe for this style of soup, I beg you to share it. I've tried making this several times and I just never seem to get the restaurant quality I crave so much. I like this soup when it is very creamy (vs. more brothy) and basic.

Pumpkin pancakes. So flavorful I didn't need a drop of syrup!

Lemon ricotta pancakes. Can you see the white flecks of ricotta?! Creamy deliciousness. This is a surprisingly awesome combination of flavors (at least in my opinion).

I was a crafty little cook last night and decided to put a fun twist on a classic tuna melt (which, I am an ace at making). First, I don't use mayo. Just olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, pepper and parsley. It's super flavorful and a heck of a lot healthier.

Then I wrapped up the tuna in crescent rolls with some cheddar cheese!

YUM! So easy, so good. My wheels are turning, friends---can you imagine what else you can put inside a crescent roll to give an old favorite a new twist?!? Just wait til you see what I've already come up with...

On another foodie note, after bananas bogarted my pumpkin muffins a few weeks ago I decided to make straight pumpkin bread. To add more flavor I drizzled on some nutella....

...and swirled it in!

Pumpkin nutella bread. Boom. Awesome.

Happy Friday :)

In Gratitude,
