Don't you just love this time of year? The crisp mornings and the fall colors. We love to do our annual tradition of apple picking and selecting pumpkins and mums for decorations. Then home to start the bake-off. Well actually, my sister started days ago with cookies and favorites of the crowd, but we like to make a couple of apple pies with our selections from the morning's adventure. This recipe is a favorite, but we do a few variations just to keep it interesting. We break for dinner while the pies finish off and fill the house with an amazing aroma. Then forks up! But, don't even think about forgetting a scoop of ice cream on top! 

Ingredients
Pie:
1 unbaked pie crust
3 large or 4-5 small Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin
½ cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
½ cup heavy cream
2 tsp vanilla extract
⅛ tsp cinnamon

Hey there, fellow food-loving friends! Look what we had the good fortune to stumble upon, I've got a delightful Spanish Chicken and Rice recipe to share. Now, let me tell you, I got this gem from Manny, who got it from his brother Miguel. And well, Manny and I aren't exactly culinary geniuses, but we do love to enjoy a good meal, especially when it's this home-cooked Spanish classic!

Spring has sprung, and with it comes the unpredictability of the thermostat. One moment you’re ready to fire up the grill, the next, you’re pulling your sweater back over your head as the temperature and reaching for your thermal socks. But don't worry, I have the perfect dish that delivers some of the flavors of spring while keeping you cozy indoors.

Are you ready to add some spice to your winter nights? Celebrate in February with a bowl of Shrimp and Sausage Gumbo!  It's so delicious and tastes like you won a first-row seat at Mardi Gras in New Orleans. The heat from the spices and sausage warms you from the inside out. You might want to pour yourself a neat glass of bourbon and throw on some zydeco music. Luckily I get to play bartender and DJ while my hubby does the magic in the kitchen. This recipe brings the flavors of Louisiana straight to your table and makes me a very happy girl. From the moment he gets the roux started, I just know it's going to be amazing. Take a little chill out of the cold winter night,  let us know what you think. 

They say chicken soup is good for the soul, but this takes it to the next level! I've always been a fan of tortilla soup and thought it was only something we could have when we went out to eat. While visiting my friend, she served this for lunch, I was blown away. Come to find out, it's a pretty simple recipe, although it looks like a long list of ingredients, it's not. What I didn't have in my pantry I found at my local food store.
