With pumpkin purée baked right into the dough and a coffee-infused glaze, this recipe combines everything we love about fall: cinnamon spice, creamy pumpkin, and bold coffee flavor. Unlike traditional cinnamon rolls, these are lightened up with Greek yogurt for added protein and moisture instead of heavy cream or loads of butter. The result is a dough that

Classic Tomato Bruschetta
Tomato bruschetta is one of those recipes that feels like summer on a plate. It’s fresh, simple, and full of flavor, yet comes together in minutes. The magic of bruschetta is in the balance—the crunch of toasted bread, the juiciness of ripe tomatoes, the fragrance of fresh basil, and that hint of garlic and olive oil that makes it irresistible. Some people love adding a splash of balsamic vinegar for tang, while others keep it classic with just tomatoes, basil, and olive oil.
