Comment “recipe” and I will send you the written recipe for this must have staple in the Gilbertson household!

These bars are something I’ve made since 2019, when I got the recipe from a friend. Almost every single week since then these have been in my fridge! Since then I have tweaked the recipe slightly to make it extra delicious 😋

When the pumpkin coffee cake is so good a formal statement must be issued 😂 @philllipg definitely and unknowingly made the best voice over anyone could ever make 😂 RECIPE BELOW and you are going to NEED to save this ASAP

SOURDOUGH PUMPKIN COFFEE CAKE 🎃

Cinnamon Sugar:
• 1½ cups brown sugar

• 4 tsp cinnamon
• 6 Tbsp salted butter, melted

Cake:
• ½ cup salted butter, softened
• 1½ cups sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup whole milk
• 1½ cups pumpkin purée
• 1 cup sourdough discard or active starter
• 5 tsp baking powder
• 4 tsp pumpkin pie spice
• 3½ cups all-purpose flour

Cinnamon Vanilla Glaze:
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1–2 Tbsp milk

HOW TO MAKE IT:
Heat oven to 375°F.

Mix the brown sugar, flour and cinnamon for the filling/topping, then stir in the melted butter.

Cream butter and sugar. Mix in vanilla, eggs, milk, pumpkin and sourdough discard. Add baking powder and pumpkin pie spice, then gradually mix in the flour.

Grease a deep 9x13 pan. Spread in half the batter, add half the cinnamon-sugar mixture, then top with the remaining batter and crumble the rest of the cinnamon mixture over the top.

Little break from the food content because we just got back from the sweetest trip to Switzerland and Germany. 🤍

This is just a glimpse of Stoos, Switzerland… and I still can’t believe places like this exist.

Also, can we talk about our little adventure buddy? Louella absolutely crushed it. 🥹 We climbed over 2,000 feet of elevation in the first 2 miles, then hiked another 6 miles with 1,000 more feet of climbing. She happily took it all in from the carrier like it was no big deal. Then the cherry on top was a quick dip in the lake outside of our air bnb 🫶🏼

I so hope we get to go back when she’s older so she can really understand how beautiful it is🇨🇭⛰️ by @bridgeyg17

Recipe below👇

My sister-in-law @brinley.gilbertson showed me this sheet pan gnocchi recipe and it is SO easy. Originally inspired by Food By Maria’s Sheet Pan Gnocchi with Greek Dressing.

INGREDIENTS

For the sheet pan:
• Black lentils from Trader Joe’s
• 1 pint baby tomatoes, halved
• 1 yellow or orange bell pepper, chopped
• 1 small eggplant, chopped
• 1 red onion, chopped
• 2 garlic cloves, chopped
• 500g potato gnocchi

Greek dressing:
• 1/2 cup olive oil
• 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/4 tsp pepper
• Juice of 1 lemon
• 1/2 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 small garlic cloves, pressed

Topping:
• Goat cheese

STEPS

1. Preheat oven to 410°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix together the Greek dressing ingredients.
3. Add the black lentils, tomatoes, bell pepper, eggplant, red onion, gnocchi, and chopped garlic to the sheet pan.
4. Pour the dressing over everything and toss until well coated.
5. Bake for 25 minutes, tossing halfway through.
6. Add goat cheese on top and bake for 5 more minutes.

Easy, nourishing, and so good for meal prep.

I used to think I just wasn’t a good cook.

Really, I just didn’t know how to make simple food taste good.

Once I started learning the little things — a good sauce, enough salt, fresh herbs, lemon, roasted veggies, texture — healthy eating stopped feeling so boring.

And cooking started feeling a lot less intimidating.

So if nutritious meals have ever felt bland, complicated, or like something you’re “bad” at…

you’re in the right place.

I’m sharing the simple meals and cooking shifts I wish I knew sooner.

RECIPE BELOW 👇🏼save for later 🥰

• 1 lb flank steak, thinly sliced against the grain
• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/4 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
• 1 tbsp garlic, minced
• 1/3 cup low-sodium soy sauce
• 1/3 cup water
• 1/3 cup dark brown sugar, packed

Instructions:

1. Thinly slice the flank steak against the grain into 1/4-inch pieces.
2. Add steak and flour to a ziplock bag, then shake until each piece is coated. Let it sit for a few minutes.
3. Heat oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
4. Shake off excess flour, then sear steak in a single layer for about 1 minute per side. Work in batches so the steak sears instead of steams. Remove from pan.
5. In the same pan, add ginger and garlic. Cook for about 30 seconds.
6. Stir in soy sauce, water, and brown sugar. Simmer until slightly thickened.
7. Add steak back in and toss until coated in the sauce.

Serve over rice with roasted broccoli.

Like this video if you want more thrifting and hobby lobby inspo ✨

It’s even more special when every piece has a story, and hers does:
Every piece on this little shelf has a story. 🤍

The flowers are from the flower bar at my baby shower, thanks to @madisonneiderhauser and @jenna.knotek. I hung them to dry and saved them because they felt too special to part with.

The “L” is for our sweet sweet Louella.

Songs for the Suffering is a reminder of our first child, the one we never got to hold. It was a book that helped carry me through one of the darkest seasons, gifted by @jenna.knotek.

Prayers for Pregnancy was from my sweet friend Paige, and it became such a meaningful part of that season.

And the elephant is for my mom, @lindasched. She loves elephants, and it only felt fitting to add one to Louella’s space as Louella carries on part of my mom’s name.

A small shelf, but so much love tucked into it. 🤍
