Please do a me a favor, make this apple plum crisp! You deserve it, your family or friends do too. It was so incredibly tantalizing. I have always loved crisps to begin with but the added plum is a whole new dimension of this tasty treat that’s been beloved all over the world for many years. I won’t lie either, I love the crumble topping. I’m well aware it doesn’t quite stand on its own, though. It needs that tart fruit underneath because the two flavors completely balance one another out.

I’ve seen many top their cobblers with ice cream and then some sort of drizzle. Caramel would work, and so would cinnamon. Either way this is an easy favorite for your family and for you! I cozied up in my recliner with a hot cup of coffee and watched my favorite show. These are cherished moments made more memorable with a comforting, sweet treat.

Everyone Will Get Seconds And Maybe Thirds – So Make Plenty!

Until recently, quinoa was one of those starches that I was unsure of. I knew it was healthy, I wasn’t quite sure how to use it though. So, I did what anyone would do. I avoided it and stuck with what I knew. That was until I had THIS salad at a friend’s BBQ. I was thrown for a loop when I asked what it was and I was told Quinoa Salad. Wow! Now I knew I had to make it at home and see what I could create with it. I just loved the texture and “pop” the salad had.

What’s the most important element of a summer salad? I say deliciousness, but aside from that its convenience. We all have busy lives running here and there whether to teach Sunday school or drive kids around, or even the regular everyday things like going shopping or cleaning. There’s no reason to have to sacrifice flavor when it comes to meals, however. That’s why I look for recipes like this simple summer chickpea salad. It can be thrown together in a pinch and will really knock the socks off of you or anyone else who is lucky enough to have a bowl.

I remember, back in the day on those cold winter Ohio days when my mom would whip these baked apples up in the oven and serve us a warm and comforting treat just for no reason at all. It explains my love for apple pie, I think. However, one thing I realized when I came across this recipe for crock pot baked apples was how simple it was. Minimal ingredients pack a big punch with this treat. Being able to put these babes in the crock and then come home to them later is an even better reward.

It doesn’t matter if you’re feeding a small family or a large group, this Chicken Parmesan Casserole will do the trick. I am a bit of a perfectionist so when I have an event coming and I have to cook I do go into panic mode. What will I make? Will it be too time consuming? Will everyone like it or be talking behind my back about how terrible it was. Maybe that last part was a bit too paranoid but you get what I am saying. I can guarantee, if you make this casserole they will rave. It has all the important players necessary for a phenomenally satisfying dish.

So I have a new love and it’s ham. Baked southern sugar ham, deli ham, even Canadian bacon! I must be just craving that salty flavor, I’m not sure. Maybe it’s the fact that the holidays are right around the corner. That’s why I whipped up this creamy casserole. Ham is the star, and I know it’d be perfect for after holiday leftovers. We’ll call It a leftover try-out. I used a small, spiral cut honey ham as we’d had it for dinner the night before. For anyone that doesn’t want to do that, they could even get pre-chopped ham in the grocery store and save time.
