We like to have a nice slow breakfast on the weekends. Usually we make a coffee cake, doughnuts, or some kind of sweet. This was our first time making fritters. They have a doughnut place in Kalamazoo that recently had a fritter contest. Each week they featured two flavors that went head to head and…

Apple Pancakes
As we get closer to Thanksgiving I am trying to keep dinner easy and lighter. These pancakes are simple and let me keep planning and cleaning for the holidays. We will be gone over Thanksgiving. My daughter is dancing in Oireachtas (o-ROCK-tus) Irish dance regionals in Kentucky so we will be traveling on Thanksgiving day….
Apple Crisp
We wanted a warm comforting dessert the other night and Apple Crisp with Vanilla Ice Cream sounded so good. I wanted lots of crispy crust on top and the apples to be sweet but not cloyingly sweet. Verdict: I think they licked the pan clean! Everyone kept saying how good this was. The apples were…

Slow Cooker Pork Chops with Sauerkraut and Apple
Things in our house have been hectic so I am trying to use my slow cooker as often as possible. I don’t always care for meat cooked in the slow cooker as they easily overcook (like when I forget to set the timer and they cook for 10-12 hours) and though they are edible they…

Pork Chop with Cider Gravy, Sauteed Apples and Onions
First of all I wish you could smell this dish. It made my house smell fantastic. All we needed was some really good German beer, warm German potato salad and you would have thought you were in Germany. On our recent trip to Walt Disney World we had an afternoon where we were “eating around…
Caramel Apple Pork Chops
I love fall. It is my favorite season by far. I love sleeping in the crisp cool air. The smell of cinnamon and apples. Right now apples are CHEAP and delicious. The past few weeks apples have been holding at $.58 a pound here. So, I have been buying them several times a week. My…
Some Days Are Like That Dinner
Yes, we all have days where we cannot even get dinner to the table without trauma. So tonight we had a “snacky” dinner. Cheese, apples, pretzels, crackers, salami, sunflower seeds and sesame sticks. Not overly nutritious but combined with a movie in my bed it was just what my family needed.
