    Baked Apples with Cinnamon (Recipes for One)

    October 15, 2014 - By 

    When fall rolls around, it is time for apple season. And I look excitedly for the appearance of Macintosh apples in my local supermarket. They are absolutely my favorite apple for baking. I guess that is because I grew up in Michigan and Macintosh apples are the quintessential Michigan apple. Of course, they were my mom’s favorite apples as well. And she always used them for baking…and just to eat raw. These apples are perfect for this recipe of baked apples with cinnamon! I grew up smelling the wonderful smell of these delicious apples baking. So when I found some…

    Ah, there is nothing quite like the hot days of summer to make you appreciate a nice cool salad! This simple summer salad is hearty enough to be a meal all by itself. But it can certainly also be a side dish as well.  The inspiration for this salad was the ingredients of the classic 7 layered salad but put together in a way that is perfect for individuals. I did leave out the peas for this salad, because, well…..I didn’t have any and was too hungry to run to the store to get some! Hey, I just had to…

    Smoothies are a great addition to any diet! They are simple to make and yet provide some powerful nutrients. You can easily drink at least one smoothie a day as a meal replacement.

    May 21, 2014 - By 

    It is strawberry season here in South Carolina! I love this time of year because there is nothing quite like the taste of berries picked fresh off the farm. They are so juicy and sweet. I always head off to the local farm stand to pick up a quart or two. This year I wanted to come up with some creative ways to use the berries. So I created this spinach strawberry salad recipe! At a restaurant once I was served a sweet and savory salad that contained strawberries. It was love at first bite! Do you like salads? When…

And the apple desserts I make in the fall just don’t taste the same unless I use…
