Tis the season for sweet potatoes! And boy, do I love sweet potatoes! And fall, being the peak of their season, is the best time to whip something up with these healthy, orange beauties. I mean, what would Thanksgiving and Christmas be without this colorful potato?
It’s apple season!!! Yayyyy! McIntosh and Granny Smith and Honeycrisps, oh my!

Traditionally, the French clafoutis is made with cherries, but I switched it up and used the fruit I had in my fridge to bring you this Blueberry Pear Clafoutis. [Read more…]
