Maple Apple Tart

Maple + Cream + Apple = One wonderful tasting tart! I’ve had this recipe in my “to make” pile for a few years and just never got around to it.  I have no idea as to why, because this is one of the best tasting desserts ever! It is also quick, easy but impressive.

Brown Butter Pear Crisp

Move over apples, it’s also time for pears. Brown Butter Pear Crisp is a real treat and there is one just out of my oven!  The aroma of the spices and pears are making the house smell wonderful. You really need to make this as soon as you can. I love the creamy texture of the pears in contrast to the crisp.

Apple Caramel Shortcake with Sweet Potato Biscuits

Last week I was already thinking about Thanksgiving. I know what you are thinking, it’s too early to think about that holiday when we haven’t even had Halloween yet. You are right, but my thoughts were more about my favorite way to make sweet potatoes than turkey.  More about those when the time is right.

Fresh Apple Gooey Cake

Apple season is here and is without a doubt my favorite time of year for cooking. I put it that way because I don’t want summer to get mad at me. I love summer for many other reasons!

Not only do I love apples but I also love pumpkin and all the comfort foods that I get hungry for as the temperatures cool off. We are planning a pretty big variety of wonderful fall foods, soups, meats, side dishes, casseroles, breads and of course our favorite fall desserts.

So get ready, this is the first of the fall recipes that I am posting, Terri has a bunch too. You will notice that Terri and I are taking turns at posting to this blog.

Have you noticed that there are two Pinterest ready pictures located under the recipes?  We are doing this to help you pin an already enhanced pin to your boards, without you having to spend all the time it takes to make a good pin.

Quick and Easy Blueberry Betty

Sometimes we need a dessert but don’t have a lot of time to fuss. At the same time, we want something that is really delicious. This Blueberry recipe fits into that category. There are plenty of blueberries, and the magic happens when they burst open while baking, and the juices mix with the butter and soak into the bread. I’ve made this for many years and I can never quit eating it until it’s gone. Leftovers just don’t happen here. I could double the recipe but since usually it’s just two of us eating it, I don’t. I’d rather just make more!  It’s that easy and quick!

I freeze blueberries when they are at their peak (like now) to use all year. Two cups in a freezer bag works for me! Leftovers also makes a great breakfast. Think of it as toast with butter and blueberry jam…that’s what I do.
