The sweet and gingery crispy topping works so well with the almond cake and tart pops of whole cranberry. I really hope you enjoy making (and eating) this as much as we did! Happy Autumn!

One of the newest additions to my spice blends is this Homemade Chili Powder. The flavor profile is warm, complex, spiced (but not spicy!), and with hints of Guajarati flavors that I love! I originally developed it for a 5-bean chili, but I’ve also been sprinkling it on top of squash and potatoes before roasting, mixing it into yogurt with a pinch or salt, and adding it to scrambled eggs.

If you are ever lucky enough to get carrots with their green tops still attached, don’t throw them away! This tangy, spicy, herby sauce is an amazing way to use the greens, and it complements the sweetness from the carrots so well. Finding ways to use all of the produce and minimize food waste always makes me extra happy.

This cranberry apple chutney is my twist on a Thanksgiving condiment. I like having a savory option in addition to my usual Pineapple Cranberry Sauce. The spices work so well with the tart cranberries and sweet apples. I’m planning to serve this with crackers and cream cheese, but it would also taste great on sandwiches, on top of grilled tofu, and as an accompaniment on a cheese board.

I love tahini in pretty much anything, so it’s no surprise that I also love black sesame seeds. As the weather turns cooler, I start to crave comfort foods… like black sesame lattes! I find black sesame seeds especially satisfying, and adding it to warm frothy milk (or non-dairy alternative) feels really cozy. Making a batch of this black sesame paste makes it really easy to add a slightly sweet and savory, toasty, nutty flavor to dishes. Besides the latte, I like adding this to a chia pudding, oatmeal, and rice porridge.
