It’s Fall, my favorite time of year... and the cold weather requires lots of comfort food, so it’s also my favorite time of year to cook! I know it’s basic to talk about how much we love pumpkins in the Fall, but I am not ashamed! I love cozy sweaters, pumpkins, fuzzy blankets, and cold nights cuddled up watching a movie. I especially love all the holidays and fun traditions with family and friends.... Hence this blog post! I am by no means a “food blogger”, nor do I pretend to be... But I make this yummy Fall Salad with Creamy Pumpkin Dressing every year and I always get asked “what’s in it?”. So I figured I would go ahead and share it with all of you!

Fresh Baked Berry Oatmeal

Back in November and December, I was on a very strict diet because my breastfeeding infant was having reactions to some of the foods I was eating. It got to the point where, per doctor's orders, I ate nothing but chicken, broccoli, and rice for two weeks straight. It was one of the hardest things I've had to do and it being the holidays certainly didn't make it any easier. To accommodate my crazy diet restrictions, my Mother-in-Law made this amazing Baked Berry Oatmeal for me to enjoy for breakfast during my stay in Ohio - and I have been completely addicted to it ever since. It's healthy, delicious, and super easy to make. Plus it warms up great so you could make a pan on a Sunday and live off of it in the mornings for a few days. And with an infant in my house who constantly wants to be held and nurse, the easier my morning breakfast routine the better!

OK, so one of my most favorite meals of all time is Shepherd's Pie. I still remember the first time I ever had it years ago when I was still a teenager - it left that big of an impression on me. Ever since that first tasting, whenever I am at a restaurant with Shepherd's Pie on the menu, I always order it. I just can't pass it up. Especially if I am at a good Irish restaurant - because then you know it's going to be good!

Copycat Cafe Rio Creamy Cilantro Dressing (Dairy Free!)

So I have been completely dairy-free now since the end of September because my baby boy has had some allergic reactions to some of the foods I've been eating. (That crazy journey will be explained in a whole other post - stay tuned).

Being dairy-free really hasn't been all that difficult, except when eating out. So, I just cook most of my meals at home... Which is much healthier and more cost-effective anyway. Can't complain about all that! Just takes a little planning, and I've had to learn some new recipes and modify old ones to comply with my new diet restrictions. It has been a learning curve (hidden dairy is in A LOT of foods!) but I've finally got most of it down now and have become pretty creative with food. The good news has been that a dairy-free diet is definitely possible to do and can be just as delicious, thankfully!
