Why should crackers have all the fun? Elevate simple soup with pie croutons.

Take a new spin on fries. These sweet and savory pie fries are light and crispy, yet still sturdy enough for dipping in some cherry "ketchup."

This bread is ideal for a light Italian meal or served with a salad for lunch. The crust is a bit crispy and the center is soft and slightly chewy. Best of all, leftovers are perfect for sandwiches. 

These pancakes are a bit denser than usual pancakes thanks to the weight of the pumpkin puree, but with a slight increase in cooking time you are left with a flavorful start to your day. Serve these up for breakfast throughout fall and the holiday season. 

This light yet satisfying salad gathers together some of the most familiar flavors of the Mediterranean region. The quinoa and chicken provide plenty of protein power while the supporting fresh ingredients add a robust backdrop without adding loads of unwanted fat and calories. Enjoy it as a side or even the main course of a light lunch. 

This hearty homemade pumpkin fettuccine is so satisfying. The layers of flavors beg you to put on a thick sweater and curl up on the sofa with a steamy bowl. 

Your guests will go wild for these tiny croissant treats made with pie crus and hazlenut spread. The process is so easy, and the result is chocolatey goodness.

These honey cookies are no ordinary shortbread. They have all the makings of a shortbread, but include a textural bite from the corn meal and feature the subtle sweetness of honey. The tart tang of the lemon curd adds a refreshing finish. 

Lemon and lavender taste divine together and the sweet, tart icing adds a wonderful finishing touch. This cake is moist and totally fork-worthy. Make it anytime or save its tangy sweetness for special occasions. 

Don't be fooled by this concoction's dark and mysterious color; this sip is sweet and fruity with just enough tartness to balance it all. 

Mint, lime and sparkling water bring a freshness that can’t be beat. When made properly, the rum is only slightly noticeable making this cocktail a dangerous concoction for sipping away the afternoon.
