Just Like Grandma’s Apple Cake – Only Better!

If there’s one thing in this world I could not live without, it would have to be this skillet apple cake. Ok, ok – of course I would have to choose my family over this cake but this would come as a close second! You see, this isn’t your ordinary apple cake. It’s not just a bunch of apple slices on top of cake batter – nope, this is way more than that, and you’re about to find out all the delicious secrets.

First of all, it is baked in a cast iron skillet. In my opinion (and I do believe I’m not the only one feeling this way), anything made in a cast iron is always going to be twice as delicious. But don’t worry if you don’t have one – you can bake this in a square pan and still get a delightful cake.

A cast iron skillet isn’t the only magic trick this recipe has to offer. Instead of just adding plain apple slices, you’re going to put together a wonderful concoction that will blow your taste buds away! Hopefully only for a couple of seconds, because you’re going to want to enjoy this with every single taste bud you own.

Take The Easy Road To Success And Make This Awesome Dessert!

Now that I’m a mother myself, I realize that my mother really spoiled us when we were kids. She was a stay-at-home Mom, which I appreciate from the bottom of my heart, and she always had a meal prepared for us when we got home from school. No matter how busy her day was, there was always the main dish, sides, homemade bread – and, dessert!

Honestly, I don’t know how she did it. She made everything from scratch and on top of that, she worked from home. And no-one really expected a dessert every single day, but I guess she had set her own standards!

I must say she has always loved cooking and baking. But still, there’s no way I could ever do what she did back then – and I’m not even always making everything from scratch! I’m starting to think she had some kind of super powers. Or maybe she had a crock pot hidden somewhere! Because that’s how I make most of my favorite desserts these days, for example this delightful strawberry dump cake.

The Recipe Your Neighbor Is Trying To Keep A Secret

Here’s a recipe that’ll make you feel like a true cowboy, or cowgirl! Perfect for the chilly, dreary days and guaranteed to keep you warm, no matter what the season. You’ll be surprised to hear that this hearty chili is super lean and great for anyone who likes to watch their figure. This recipe makes 8 nice and filling servings, but you can easily make a double batch for a larger crowd.

Besides being lean, this chili is incredibly easy to make. Just brown the beef, onions and bell pepper, then throw in all the remaining ingredients and let it simmer on the stove until all those beautiful aromas fill up your whole house.

There are a couple of very surprising ingredients in this recipe, that I had never even thought of using in chili. But I believe those ingredients are exactly what set this chili above anything else I’ve tried before. This is simply mouthwatering, and it’s impossible to settle for one serving only!

Quick Tip: Instead of lean ground beef, add leftover shredded chicken to this chili.

Straight From Grandma’s Recipe Box To Your Dinner Rotation

Oh how I love these cooler days, with a little bit of rain and the fresh winds blowing after a long, hot summer! The change in weather makes me want to make changes in my diet, too – and I gotta tell ya, my mirror kind of agrees with me… What is it about the BBQ season that shrinks all my clothes? I didn’t have that many steaks with creamy potato salad, or ice creams, or s’mores, did I..?

Whatever happened during these past months is history now! I don’t want to go on a diet to lose weight, but I thought it wouldn’t hurt to add some tasty, lean soups into our dinner rotation. That way you could kind of accidentally lose a couple of pounds, right?

This soup, though, would be in my dinner rotation even if I wasn’t concerned about my weight. You see, this has been one of my favorite recipes ever since my grandma made this for us, when we were little. She always used rather fatty sausages for this, but if you’d like to keep this low-calorie, choose lean ground beef or turkey – or don’t add meat at all!

Quick Tip: Choose low-sodium broth for a healthier option.

Last year, my husband and I wanted to go to a new vacation spot.

We only had about 3 days off of work and wanted to get out and see a new city. We looked up a cheap flight from Miami and found that it was less than $100 for two round-trip tickets to Philly.  It was a cheap, flight and we found a great hotel and an even greater price so we decided to go for it. When we got there, we found a really cool area called the Reading Terminal Market.  It has more than thirty or forty amazing restaurants that are just small mom and pop shops.  They are full of amazing foods from different cultures and I was mind blown by the vast amount of options for food there were there.

But, we decided we had to stick with a classic.  We found the first spot to a Philly Cheesesteak, ordered a couple and then went on our way.  We found a cool spot outside and enjoyed our cheesesteaks with a soda.

In the past, I have shared about my family feud with cheesecake.

My aunt for many years claimed to have made the best cheesecake, and then my cousin also said that she was the one who made the best one.  Thanksgiving would come around and it was a constant battle of who made the better cheesecake this year.  I usually refrained from participating because I did not want to bring just any other cheesecake into the mix.  I would wait until I had the perfect recipe. I think I have found that recipe.  Normally, cheesecakes are made in a springform pan where after you bake the cheesecake, you put it in the freezer to harden.

Once it is frozen, you pop open the springform and then slide out your perfect cheesecake.  It is a pretty cool technique and I have never heard of any other way to make cheesecake! Now I have though.

Hands Down, The Best Meal Ever Made In A Casserole Dish!

Oh boy, oh boy! This is one of those meals you could eat ten days in a row, and you’d still want to make it again the next day. Chicken tetrazzini casserole is a dish I’ve made for my family almost every week since the beginning of times, and they are still crazy about it. Even my picky eater always goes for a second serving, and wants to know if we’re having this again soon!

Don’t be startled by the lengthy list of ingredients. The cooking instructions are very straightforward, and even though some effort is required to make this tasty chicken tetrazzini casserole, it is most definitely worth it!

It’s creamy, cheesy, juicy and mouthwatering, with a wonderful crispy crust made of bread pieces and cheese. I guarantee this recipe will be added into your dinner rotation, too! I had barely had my first bite of this when I already heard my husband say; “I sure hope we’re having this again soon!”

I would recommend you double the ingredients and make this in two casserole dishes. It freezes well – or maybe you’d just like to have plenty of leftovers, to eat this the next day, too. I sure know I did!
