Why are soft pretzels so good? I love them. My kids love them. And anyone I’ve shared them with, goes nuts for them too. I’m guessing you might feel the same. They’re just so pillow-y soft and very hard to resist, right?! Well, these Soft Pumpkin Pretzels with Spiced Maple Mustard are no exception at all. In fact, for me they’re even more irrisistable with the addition of the pumpkin and warm fall flavors. And their deep golden color is gorgeous too.

There’s a new granola in town and I’m loving it. Yup, you guessed it. It’s this Cinnamon Harvest Granola I’m sharing with today. It’s the perfect sweet, nutty and spicy way to start an autumn day, or any day of the year. Have a jar of this waiting for you on the counter in the morning and you just might look forward to waking up. I sure do.

One of my favorite pizzas of all time. This Fig, Burrata & Caramelized Onion Whole Wheat Pizza has it all going on. Double melty cheesy yumminess, jammy fig goodness, spice from the arugula and red pepper flakes and sweet caramelized red onions over a slightly chewy, slightly crisp, slightly honeyed crust.. The flavors just sing together. They do, you just gotta listen closely.
This may only be the first weekend into fall, but I think it’s prefectly okay to possibly start thinking daydreaming about holiday desserts. Well, for me, that might be thanks to this Salted Butterscotch Apple Tart. After making this, I definitely had the holidays on my mind, especially Thanksgiving, as well as maybe a few other thoughts.
You know that brief moment when you stumble upon something you think might just be too good to share? Well that’s what happened after tasting one of my latest dessert recipes. But luckily, I quickly snapped out of it and remebered sharing is caring. And furthermore, that I had specifically created this to do just that….share, in the Apple Collaboration I’m taking part in hosted by fabulous fellow food bloggers, Britney at Britney Breaks Bread and Krissy at Eating with Krissy.
So here it is, my new favorite dessert creation and apple obsession. Maybe ever. And fittingly on this Johnny Appleseed Day. (Sorry for the drama, but this deserves it.)

I’m really excited to share today’s recipe with you. Let’s just call this fig week here at A Treat Life. The last post had figs, and the next one after this might too and maybe even the one after that (the season is fast and over soon.) And besides, I can’t get enough of them and I especially can’t get enough of this Honeyed Fig & Yogurt Tart. It’s true. I’ve made a few in the last couple weeks and making another one today as we speak.
In case you’re wondering what today’s tart might be for, or who it might be for, well, we are celebrating our 9th wedding anniversary today. This guy’s actually been enduring my crazy self and lots of waiting to eat while I capture a picture of the food, or driving miles to try that special dish or newest dessert world creation for over 15 years. That’s a lot of not-so-warm-anymore meals and more importantly a lot of food adventures among many others. But he’s never complained and we’ve had a lot of fun over some amazing dishes and now have two hungry little additions to our team.
