Went apple picking? Now what…
I have small windows of time to cook or bake. Sometimes peeling isn’t an option (too time consuming). So here are my favorite recipes to use at least some of my farm fresh apples.

Easy Pumpkin Apple Muffins
I love pumpkin bakery. When the weather turns cooler and the leaves start changing, I crave the spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and cardamom. Add in tart apple and I’m ready to hide my waistline with oversized sweaters.
Read MoreCast Iron Apple Crisp
This one tastes like Paula Dean just hand delivered autumn to your doorstep. I don’t skimp on the spices. This recipe uses a lot of cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, cloves and even sneak in a dash of cayenne. (Don’t worry, it’s barely noticeable so your kids won’t complain that it’s “too spicy.”)
Read MoreCrispy Bacon Apple Brussel Sprouts
I’ve made this recipe twice now for my family. Depending on the type of bacon you get, it might take a little longer to crisp up. Make sure to throw your oven on broil at the end. The bacon fat coats the Brussels and apples evenly as you mix it around. It’s amazing!

Read MoreMy Go-To Greens: Kale & Sprout salad
Raise your hand if you love kale! … no hands? Kale is one of those greens that you know you should eat, but it’s hard to find a recipe you want everyday. Call it a unicorn, but I’ve found mine and I keep this in the fridge at all times. This salad is packed with […]
Read MoreSecret Family Recipe: Italian Garden Stew
I’m probably going to be disowned for sharing this. This recipe goes back at least 4 generations. It has the basic starter to every Italian recipe: olive oil, onions and garlic. I make this for friends when I need to send a meal and, I promise, this will become a weeknight fall staple in your […]
