Autumn is here, and that means pumpkin! These muffins are a real treat with your morning coffee. They are loaded with fresh apples and flavored with pumpkin spice. They also have a wonderful streusel topping that gives an added sweetness to these muffins. This is a recipe that has been around in my collection for many years, so I have baked these muffins many times. These pumpkin apple streusel muffins are a delight to eat, and I hope you and your family will enjoy! Bon

Butternut squash is a favorite autumn vegetable that is especially tasty in soups. I found this lovely recipe in the September 2009 issue of Southern Living magazine, and I really like the Tex-Mex flavors to this bisque. If you are a fan of Tex-Mex or if you are looking for something different when it comes to traditional squash soup, I encourage you to give this delightful bisque a try. Topped with crunchy vegetable chips for added flavor and great presentation, your frie

Pumpkin lattes are one of the things I love about autumn. American coffee lovers look forward to this seasonal treat each year. I found this recipe in the September 26, 2016 issue of People magazine. The recipe is by Jeni Brittan Bauer. You can save some serious money by making these lattes at home as well as impress friends and family with your barista coffee house talent. With the falling leaves and crisp autumn nip in the air, you now have a good excuse to indulge you

This wonderful recipe comes from the October 2007 issue of Cooking Light magazine. It is simple to prepare and only has a few ingredients, but if you make it for company, it has the 'Wow Factor' in how it is presented. If you are not a fan of goat cheese, you can use the Gournay cheese - the results are just as yummy. The polenta compliments everything in the chicken without stealing the show. I added some parmigiano-reggiano to up the flavor of the polenta, but feel free

This old-fashion chocolate cake has been around for a long time. This type of delicious cake has been adapted from the great depression era. What makes this cake even better is the mayonnaise in it. I know it can be difficult to wrap your head around mayonnaise being in a cake. Some of my family were a little uncertain too, but trust me when I say that you will not even know it's there. The mayo makes the cake moist and gives it a richness. The expresso powder helps to i

I made this flavorful dish for the first time last week. It was so delicious that I had to include the recipe in my blog. I found this gem in the May 2017 edition of Southern Living Magazine. The one pound of multicolored sweet peppers really caught my eye. You see...I have a garden full of sweet peppers, and I am constantly looking for ways to use them in recipes. This recipe is yummy and also lets me use peppers from my garden. As a bonus, I also love pasta. It seeme

I have been making this pie for over 25 years. I believe that I clipped this recipe from a magazine in the late 80s. I don't remember which magazine now. I wrote down the history of this classic apple pie, because I thought it was really interesting and special. "This old-fashioned apple-pie recipe won the 1987 Grand Prize in Salem Cross Inn's Annual Beehive Oven bake-off. Creators Lillie Bothwell (102 years old) and Louise Waid (106 years old), both residents of the Quab

I got this wonderful recipe from the Farm to Table cookbook. It is the perfect recipe to use up garden tomatoes. The red peppers, chives, and thyme also add an incredible amount of flavor to this quiche. Topped off with ricotta and parmesan cheese, this quiche tastes just perfect! Another great thing about this recipe is that it uses puff pastry which makes this quiche extra easy to prepare. I hope you enjoy this last taste of summer! If you make this summer vegetable a
