Pumpkin Pancakes
Pumpkin pancakes are good in any season but are perfect to warm you up on cold winter mornings. You can use either canned or cooked fresh pumpkin.
Zucchini Bread with Coconut
My favorite recipe for zucchini bread with a hint of coconut. Make sure to squeeze out as much liquid from the zucchini as possible after grating, otherwise, the bread will be too mushy.
Mango Upside-Down Cake
This mango upside-down cake recipe is stunningly simple to make and perfect for when mangoes are in season. It's also relatively healthy as far as cakes go, and not overly sweet. The cake is dense and perfect with tea or coffee. I use Alfonso mangoes, but any variety will do.
