Yes that’s correct, not Apple Crumble, but Crumple! I thought of making another apple dish as I have an abundance of apples that are screaming, “Cook me!” So, I decided to make a new apple dessert, but something that is not too, too sweet nor too fattening.  So here it is: Apple Crumple. I even [...]

Ah fall. Scarecrows in the yard, goblins on the doorstep, and pumpkin bread on the table. What’s not to love? One of my favorite fall foods is pumpkin anything, especially bread. I have been making this bread for over 30 years and it has never, ever failed to please. It has a nice spice mix [...]

This was the weekend for baking. I made a great apple cake, and then I made a bean soup that needed a nice bread to go along with it. I didn’t have the time to make my favorite rustic bread so I made a quick rising whole wheat yeast bread. It is made with both whole [...]

I am going out on a limb here but I just returned from the apple orchard with a bag of the most incredible Cortland apples and I know I shouldn’t get into making something with them. I live in the northeast which is Cortland country. It is a crisp, not too tart, not too sweet [...]

Sometimes one might need a dessert in a hurry. Like for instance, your child comes home from school and announces that there will be a party in class and he had forgotten to tell you that you were volunteered to make a quick dessert. Or, dear ol’ husband forgets to tell you that the office [...]

I recently had the opportunity to savor beef stew prepared in a pumpkin. This was a unique way to serve a rather commonplace meal and perhaps the perfect way to gets oohs and ahhs from any guest! I came up with an idea of using a buttercup squash in place of the pumpkin and the [...]

It’s pumpkin time! Great foods can be made with pumpkins. One easy, delicious dessert is a pumpkin bar! It can be changed up by adding some chopped nuts, chopped apples, dried cranberries, or my favorite, chocolate chips.  The original recipe calls for 1 cup oil, but if you want a lighter version, substitute half the [...]

Salads are the best invention since M&Ms. I actually have a salad every day with my lunch. I traveled cross country a couple years ago and actually came across my favorite salad ever: A mixed green salad with grilled chicken and berries. What was interesting was that there were just enough berries (3) of each [...]
