It's grey and drizzling, and I like it! Who else is feeling like it's a hot chocolate kind of day?

My dog Dyson isn't so happy though.... He doesn't get any hot chocolate.

I reshot the very first recipe I put on the blog!

This onion wine jam was the first recipe I ever shared - before I knew anything about food photography, SEO, or what people were even looking for in a recipe post.

In short, the post sucked. The recipe was delicious, but who would make it looking like that?!

Well, it looks so much better now, and I dare you not to eat it right out of the pan. So delicious on toast (or a charcuterie board). What would you put it on? Share your onion wine jam menu using #twistsandzests and tag me!

When in doubt, make a fritter!

Especially root vegetables make excellent fritters. Parsnips and fennel blend perfectly for a subtle hint of sweetness.

Want the recipe? You can get it in the currently available pack of recipe cards! Just go to the store on the site to order it.

Recipes online are all well and good, but who else likes tangible books and recipe cards?

This spinach and goat cheese gnocchi is one of the recipes from my new pack of vegetarian recipe cards. This pack of 15 recipes is a perfect holiday stocking stuffer.

Order soon to get them delivered in time for holiday gift giving! Link in bio.

It's finally on the blog!

I know I've been promising to post all those recipes that are sitting in their folders, but now I'm finally doing it. One of the first, banana pie!

Plus, I want to encourage you to DM or email me (questions@twistsandzests.com) with any questions you have when it comes to baking. I can generally offer advice on why a recipe didn't work or how you can substitute certain ingredients. Don't be afraid to reach out!

Go get baking and share your result by tagging me and using #twistsandzests
