TWD - Cran Apple Crisps

-
Here's a movie quote. One of my favorite movies of all time. Do you know what movie it is from? I'll have the answer down below in case you don't.

"As God is my witness, as God is my witness, they're not going to lick me! I'm going to live through this, and when it's all over, I'll never be hungry again - no, nor any of my folks! If I have to lie, steal, cheat, or kill! As God is my witness, I'll never be hungry again."

Em of the Repressed Pastry Chef chose Cran Apple Crisps for the month of November and what a great choice that was. It filled my home with the most wonderful fall smells. One might think Thanksgiving has already come!
I am not really sure I did the crisp part right. I just sort of blobbed it on there. I'm writing this before I taste it, but I'm sure it tastes superb if it is anything like the smell. Yum.
Check out the recipe at Em's blog and while you are there browse around. Em has some wonderful foods to share with you!
If you guessed Gone With the Wind you would be correct! Thanks for playing along.

That looks fabulous, and I'm sure it will taste fabulous, too! I loved how easy and delicious it was.

I knew it! I knew it! Love that quote (an admirable sentiment, btw). Beautiful crisp - hope you liked the crisp once you dug in. I think crisp's toppings are meant to be blobbed on.

Yum. I love how you can see the cranberries in your crisp. And hey, you may have blobbed the topping on, but I bet you actually used the right amount of sugar! =P

Well, being from the south.... that was an easy one.

Almost as easy as puting this crisp together. And if you can make this, you will never go hungry again.

This looks perfect! I think the topping on a crisp melts a bit anyway so precision isn't that important. I haven't made this one yet but it seems to be universally loved.

Hey Peggy! In answer to your comment on my blog post, I'd say the holiday bundt is like a cake-ish quick bread rather than being a show-stopping decadent dessert.

If you like pumpkin bread and cranberry bread, this is very similar, but maybe a bit more dessert-like, especially with the glaze. You could put a cream cheese frosting on it and take it up a notch (or you could make the chestnut cake and spend 2-3 days on dessert!)

December's TWD recipes are up, and there are some lovely desserts among them - the pear tart and the chocolate cheesecake look like beautiful desserts.

Hope that helps!?

Ina Garten's Deviled Eggs!

-
Image
This is appetizers week in our Ina Garten Fridays group!!  I chose her deviled eggs because we love deviled eggs and I never deviate from my old family recipe so I thought I would branch out and try something different.  I'm so glad I did!  I love these and I am sure my DH will love them tonight for dinner also. With just these ingredients, you can impress your guests or yourself, with some delicious deviled eggs. Ina's recipe says to hardboil six eggs.  (I only did five because that was all I had and mine turned out a little fluffier than they probably should have, but delicious just the same).  If you don't know how to boil eggs, please take a minute to learn.  If your eggs turn out green, you have overcooked them.  To make perfect boiled eggs every time, I put my eggs in cold water and put them on the stove, bring to a boil.  As soon as they begin boiling, I take them off the stove and cover and let them sit for 15 minutes. ...

TWD - Crunchy Toffee Bars

Every time I bake with toffee chips, I think of Heath Ledger. You get it, right, Heath Toffee / Heath Ledger. I know I'm weird. But in honor of the Oscars this week, I thought a photo of Heath was appropriate. He was a great actor with a brilliant future ahead of him. Sad. Of course, my real photo choice of the week was going to be my personal favorite Hugh Jackman. Since he was the host of the Oscars, I think it only fitting that we post a photo of him, as well, right? After all, he IS the sexiest man alive. I knew he could act, and look pretty, but dang - he can sing and dance too! Okay girls - get your minds out of the gutter and back to the matter at hand. Truly, get serious! We are here to talk about crunchy toffee bars. Let me just say that I am glad I made these earlier in the weekend because I ended up having to spend some time with a nice young doctor at the ER due to a severe asthma attack! It's heck not being able to breathe folks. It has now turned into acute bronc...

Lenox Almond Biscotti

This week Gretchen of Canela & Comino chose Lenox Almond Biscotti for our recipe challenge. Oh Gretchen, thank you thank you, thank you! Biscotti has always been one of my favorite foods (especially around the holidays). Who knew someone of so little culinary experience could actually bake biscotti in their own kitchen? And the greatest thing of all was this was actually one of the easiest things I have baked AND I had all the ingredients I needed right in that pantry of mine. Or so I thought . . . My new shiny red KA mixer was gently purring like a kitten as it mixed my wonderful dough when I discovered - oops, completely out of almond flavoring. Since I was baking in old clothes and no makeup, hair tied back in a ponytail reminiscent of those kindergarten years, there was no way I was headed to the store for almond extract. Not to panic, though, I decided to just use vanilla and hope for the best. I did sprinkle some cinnamon on half of them right before putting into the oven to...
