This sweet banana almond oatmeal is warm, sweet, and lusciously filling, and it leaves me satisfied for hours! The recipe is also incredibly versatile. Switch out any of the ingredients for whatever you fancy. I like it best with some vanilla extract instead of almond extract and topped with crunchy peanut butter and a drizzle of honey! If you want your oatmeal a bit thicker, use a little less milk or cook for a little longer.

Halloween Candy Blondies
Transform your leftover Halloween candy into gooey blondie bars. These bars pair perfectly with ice cream or a hot or cold beverage of your choice.
Sauteed Morel Mushrooms
Rich, nutty, earthy, lightly browned mushrooms in a light layer of butter and herbs with just the slightest tinge of lemon. The lemon juice and zest cut the richness of the mushrooms and butter, and bring the flavors together for me. Serve on a steak, over pasta with a touch of added cream, on toasts with some goat cheese, as a side dish with a bit of shaved Parmesan cheese, over sauteed asparagus, or tossed with roasted potatoes and a handful of arugula.
Halupki (Stuffed Cabbage)
This stuffed cabbage recipe, known as halupki on the Ukrainian side of my family, is made with beef, pork, and rice encased in cabbage and drizzled with a thin, sweet tomato sauce. Leftovers freeze well — if you have any! My grandma Eugenia taught me how to make this. Every family has their own twist on this traditional dish. Enjoy with mashed potatoes just as we always do in my family!
