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.
Cast 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.")
Crispy 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!
Lovely Lemon Sugar Cookies
Luckily, these are super easy to whip up and I add a little frosting to get my fix in before we all start New Years Resolutions.
Secret Family Recipe: Italian Garden Stew
In our house, we call it "Cucuroma". This probably stems from the name of an Italian squash "cucuzza". My great-grandfather came to the Cleveland area from Sicily and he loved to cook. We build our gardens around growing the ingredients for Cucuroma.
