This time of year, people tend to be more excited about sweet treats and less strict about their healthy eating habits. Since my new love language is baking, obviously I’ll be baking for the people I love. It is the tastiest time of the year after all! Lin’s sister sent us the incredible Harry + David pears so I made a delish easy rustic pear galette. Weighing in at around a full pound apiece, the Royal Riviera® Cream of the Crop Pears are the king-sized version of our famous pears. Expertly grown and handpicked, these premium pears have a soft, buttery flesh that's so sweet, you might want to save them for dessert which is exactly what I did! These juicy giants are also perfect for entertaining, whether divided up in a pear and blue cheese salad to share or set out as an impressive display in your fruit bowl. I used 4 of the 6 I received in my galette and I am actually using the other 2 in a Christmas sangria!!!

This recipe is so simple!!! I promise. This Rustic Pear Galette recipe is my new fave. The buttery and flaky homemade galette crust is to-die-for. And I am so stoked that I did not have to use gluten free flour. I used Ukrainian flour after seeing a post from @lizzyloveshealth. With a few basic pantry ingredients, you can create an amazing dessert everyone will love. Sweet pears, chopped almonds, and brown sugar top this rustic pastry.  No fussy lattice, no crimped edges…just authentic flavor!!!!

I shared in early November that I had been cooking up a storm with the most beautiful Musui from Vermicular. I am 100 percent in love with this Japanese cookware. And the two recipes I have made so far with their recipe book have been spot on!! They were so easy to create and so so delicious!!! You can find all the details of all three of those posts here.

And I still have been cooking up a storm with my Musui and have just loved it so much that I now have added the Vermicular Kamado into the mix. It has been so fun to cook again and provide delicious nutritional recipes for my sweet Lin. The Kamado delivers three-dimensional heating and precision heat control at the touch of a button. High performance induction coils with a surrounding heater provides even heat distribution, simulating the engulfing flames of traditional Japanese kamado stoves.

I cannot remember a time in my life when I was not extremely big on Mexican food. I could truly eat it every day. I grew up in El Paso Texas in a hispanic family and let’s just say tacos were a weekly staple!!!!

If you have been following me for a while, you will know that Lin has been having lots of complications with his stomach is on a gluten free protocol. He is also trying to cut dairy and animal protein all together because they can be hard on the digestive system. He has been craving fajitas though so I started going down the Pinterest rabbit-hole a few weeks ago searching for cauliflower tortilla recipes. Well all of them called for baking and just looked so time consuming and complicated. I mean…who has time or energy to actually squeeze all of the water out of cauliflower? I just cannot make that kind of time sacrifice.

And then like magic I received an email with the opportunity to partner with CAULIPOWER to experience and share their CAULIPOWER Cauliflower Tortillas! I love their pizzas so this was a no brainer for me!
