Pesto Cheese Ravioli with Crispy Cheese Topping for Meatless Monday!

Ravioli is one of the ultimate comfort foods for me. I know some people love soup and some people love meat and potatoes, but for me? Ravioli. It's always warm with a slightly sweet or spicy sauce on top and a creamy filling that's bursting with flavor. The crunchy topping on this ravioli makes it one of my favorites. The basic flavors of this recipe combine to make something that will keep you coming back for more.

Cinnamon Muffins with Oatmeal Streusel Topping

It's almost officially fall, as I've said before. One of the first ingredients I think of for autumn recipes is cinnamon. I love cinnamon, and it reminds me of "harvest", which makes me think about Thanksgiving. We are no where near Thanksgiving (sort of) considering that Halloween is coming up soon, but that's okay. I could really eat cinnamon anytime of year. You know what goes well with cinnamon? Crunchy streusel. You know what goes well with almost any breakfast treat? Crunchy streusel.

Secret Recipe Club reveal day! Lemon Pound Cake with Blueberry Compote

Today is secret recipe club reveal day! It happens every month and it's so much fun! I chose to make a lemon pound cake with blueberry compote from the blog that I was assigned to. I don't make pound cake often but this recipe may change my mind. My previous attempts of pound cake came out as loaves of cake so dense they weren't good at all. This one is soft and fluffy while still having a dense feel to it. Perfect for topping with the blueberry compote or maybe just some fresh strawberries. For winter, maybe some baked cinnamon apples would be delicious too!
