apple – Fork Vs Spoon

Apple Cider Bourbon

I sit at the far end of a long table. I make eye contact with the patron at the other end and simply ask if it’s okay that we share the last lone table available at the cafe/bakery that we are both indulging in on this fall day. From the looks of the weather channel, itContinue reading “Apple Cider Bourbon”

Caramelized Apple and Goat Cheese Tartine

I broke/exhausted a paper shredder. A borrowed shredder, the kind that just sits over a trashcan and only shreds two pieces of paper at a time. Not heavy duty by any means. I went three pieces thick one too many times and it died mid-shred. The pay stubs from 2004 were just too much. Which leads meContinue reading “Caramelized Apple and Goat Cheese Tartine”

Farro, Cheddar, Walnut, and Apple Salad – A Virtual Salad Party

Wanna know a secret? I adore salads. I will swap out a side of fries for a side salad 98% of the time, especially if the eatery has chunky blue cheese dressing or their side salad is made with mixed greens and topped with egg. I am that person. I will undoubtedly talk you intoContinue reading “Farro, Cheddar, Walnut, and Apple Salad – A Virtual Salad Party”

Apple Turkey Melt

I had a goal this weekend of finishing my Christmas shopping, but instead I spent it with friends…which was way way way better. I probably would have taken any invitation to do or go anywhere…anything to keep me away from the mall and the horrid Christmas crowds. Saturday I went to an old factory inContinue reading “Apple Turkey Melt”

Apple Butter Bacon Pizza

Apple butter is probably one of my favorite foods this side of the Mississippi. Now if you go west of the Mississippi, all bets are off. I mean, who knows what I will encounter. Wisconsin and a whole state of cheese are west of the Mississippi…While apple butter would surely hold a spot in theContinue reading “Apple Butter Bacon Pizza”

Dutch Apple Pie Bars

I have this urge to go absolutely bazerk with all things apple. To flood these pages with so many apple recipes that you will not want to look at another apple until next fall. Which isn’t really nice or fair of me. But it is an urge. An urge I have a deep need toContinue reading “Dutch Apple Pie Bars”

Apple Pie

Apples, quintessential fall food, right? Sure they are great year round, but fall…fall is when they are at their peak. During my childhood, fall was always filled with apple desserts….not pumpkin. Apples. Apples were always in abundance because mom and grandma would take us apple picking. A small orchard (and in all reality I haven’tContinue reading “Apple Pie”

Apple Spice Cake with Walnut Brown Sugar Glaze

Windows open. Cool crisp air seeps into the house. My feet are oddly chilled and I search for a pair of thick socks. I enjoy a few deep breaths, the evening fall air filling my lungs and giving me a bit of a rush. A warm cup of coffee warms my hands as I gazeContinue reading “Apple Spice Cake with Walnut Brown Sugar Glaze”

Roasted Pumpkin Soup

Up until today, I had never tasted pumpkin soup. So what possessed me to make pumpkin soup? I think it has something to do with the crisp fall air. Let me tell you, it has gone straight to my head. So much so, that the other day I walked into the grocery, saw these cute littleContinue reading “Roasted Pumpkin Soup”
