So, I'm Back!

I know it has been a while. Okay, more than a while, but I was busy. I had to work full-time and kids in school activities, it all just got so overwhelming. But I'm back and I'll do better, I promise.

I just picked some amazing apples from my parents' orchard and I'm going to make something delicious with them. I usually have grand aspirations as to the desserts I will attempt but then I don't seem to have the time or ambition when I get home so I just end up making something simple. Still yummy, but simple. Well, that will probably happen again:)

But here is what I would like to make if I were home all day....

Caramelized Apple and Pecan Pie

Apple, Goat Cheese, and Honey Tartlets

Apple Dumplings


Apple Dumplings, a much easier version, and probably the one I will make, from one of my favorite food blogs, The Pioneer Woman Cooks.

I'll be back with my own pictures and we'll see what kind of mess I can come up with!
