Sadly apple picking at my favorite farm has ended. Mom and I made a good showing this year, I think we went fruit picking at least twice a month since the farm opened in late spring. While I will miss the abundance of apples, it will be nice not to try and force 20 lbsRead more
It’s that time of year for pumpkin everything! These poppers are like doughnut holes. A little dense and super moist they’re a delicious fall treat. I made these for church last Sunday. Not knowing how many the original recipe made I decided to quadruple the recipe (me and my inability to estimate quantities). I alsoRead more
Mom had a no good, very bad day yesterday, so I told her I’d treat her today. When I saw this scone recipe I knew it’d be a great way to start the day and make her feel taken care of. These scones are very subtly sweet, so if you’re into sweet baked goods forRead more

This granola is a subtle celebration to fall. Served with yogurt or milk, it makes a great breakfast or snack. While it’s not overwhelmingly pumpkin flavored it has a warm spice that goes well with the colder weather. This is also the first granola recipe I’ve seen without coconut…anyone know why granola always has coconutRead more

Family recipes are great. There’s nothing like a long standing recipe passed from generation to generation. This is one of Grandma’s recipes that my mom claims she made for us a lot as kids, but I don’t remember having it before. And truthfully before this the idea of pork and apple was kind of weirdRead more
