There is no less interesting cookie to me than a plain oatmeal cookie but if you are making them with granola they turn from mundane to magnificent. This cookie is so far superior in both taste and texture to regular oatmeal cookies that it might just be the best cookie.

Roasted Beet and Potato Soup
I adapted this roasted beet and potato soup recipe from a vegetarian soup when my twin toddlers went through a soup-only phase. They love it, and luckily, the rest of the family enjoys it too! It's a nice, hearty purée that is super-easy, especially if you roast the potatoes and beets beforehand.
Pumpkin Cookies with Caramel Frosting
These soft, cake-like pumpkin cookies smell wonderful and are a great reminder of autumn. The recipe came from my great-grandmother and yields a small batch, so we sometimes double it. The caramel frosting is glaze-like and quite thin, so it helps to place the cooled cookies on waxed paper while frosting. I usually use an entire can of pumpkin, rather than letting a small portion of it go to waste. Store in an airtight container for very soft cookies, store in a loosely covered container for firmer cookies.
Extra Dark Chocolate Cake with Salted Caramel Sauce
This extra dark chocolate cake with salted caramel sauce has a subtle spice which recalls the flavor of sheet cake. It is extremely rich, so be prepared to make your slices small! Delicious with a tawny port!
