One of my favorite things about fall is the apple harvest. To me, nothing says, “Autumn” better than the crisp air and warm scent of apples filling the home.

Here is a super easy recipe you can make in a short time to bring home the taste of the season! It can be made and assembled in less than an hour so it is perfect for a quick dessert and is sure to impress kids and company.

To make Apple Pie Parfaits, you will need:

3-4 Granny smith (or other tart apple) apples

1 Cup oats, instant

1 1/2 Cups Brown Sugar

3 Tbsp flour

1 Stick of Butter, unsalted + 4 tbsp Butter

2 Tbsp Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Ground Cloves

1/2 Lemon

Whipped Cream

Directions:

1. Start by cutting up the apples into eighths. Slice off the core areas and make sure to remove the seeds. You can remove the peels if you like, but I leave them on, personally.

Book Review: Get Your Family Eating Right

September 9, 2013 by Christine 4 Comments

I was sent a book for review, “Get Your Family Eating Right” by Lynn Fredericks and Mercedes Sanchez M.S, R.D.

The book is a 30 day plan to getting your kids and family into a healthy eating lifestyle. It shows you how to introduce healthy foods and even provides step-by-step instructions on how to get your child to help you cook the foods in the book.

The Good:

I liked the bright photos in the book. Nearly every recipe has a photo and there are great photos of kids cooking. This book is definitely child friendly and fun to learn from. I also enjoyed the instruction in the book on how to get your child to enjoy healthier foods. I also liked the way the book broke down how to create balanced meals. I do think this book is great for almost all skill levels in the kitchen.

The recipes include a format that is easy to follow, allowing mom or dad to have their child perform tasks to creating the dish. There are even foods from around the world’s cuisine. I like how it helps open your family’s taste buds to new ones.

Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole

August 19, 2013 by Christine 5 Comments

I am not a morning person. In fact, if you catch me before I fully wake up, you make meet a bear.

However, this hash brown breakfast casserole is so easy to make, even the growliest bear will have no problems making it work.

Its also very filling and not too bad on the pocketbook.

To make Hash Brown Breakfast Casserole, you will need:

6 Medium sized eggs
3 lbs dice potatoes (I use the frozen “Southern Style” hash browns)
1 1/12 Cups Cheddar Cheese, shredded
4 Small ham steaks
Seasonings: pepper, salt, onion powder
1/2 cup milk

1. Start by browning the hash browns. Many recipes for breakfast casserole skip this step, but I really like the flavor and texture browning them adds. Also, pre-heat your oven to 350 degrees F.

Grilled Sirloin Pepper Wrap

July 18, 2013 by Admin Leave a Comment

This is a kind of recipe that you need to mix it up and have fun with, which in my opinion is the best there is. I’ve had a lot of kids in my house recently, there’s been two birthdays and then a number of kids that just suddenly drop by around meal times . The best thing about this recipe is the very fact that it can be done on the grill or in the stove and it’s quick either way. You can use whatever is on hand and the kids get to end up picking and choosing what goes in their own wrap. Lay it out like a buffet line so they can move down and pick which will go into their own. This is also a great way to use up left over meat.

Lemonade Popsicles

July 8, 2013 by Admin 1 Comment

It’s summer and it’s hot hot hot! Nothing beats good old lemonade to beat off the heat during a heat wave. Why not kick it up a notch and make some ice pops at the same time? It’s easy, all you need is reusable popcicle containers and you are set to go! I picked mine up at the dollar store believe it or not, great bargain and really once you get them you’ll wonder why on earth you never thought of this before. While you can pretty much put any of your favorite juice inside why not make some fresh lemonade to enjoy? It’s super easy to do and you will have enough to make ice pops and sip some cool lemonade at the same time!
