Dutch Baby Apple Pancake

     My favorite time of the year is fall.  I love the crispy air, the beautiful colors, the pumpkin patch visit and hay rides and the most important part the food!  I love apples and pumpkin dishes.  Each year they seem to come out with new varieties of apples I have never heard of.  When I lived in Connecticut I loved going to the apple orchard and picking our own apples.  After picking apples we would finish off with apple cider donuts that were out of this world.  I will stay have to say my favorite apples are the Cortland variety, how I miss Connecticut!
     I found this gem in a magazine I was reading while waiting for the dentist.  I know it seems a little crazy, but you would be surprised where I find all of my wonderful recipes!  This recipe does take a little time to prepare, but it is so worth the time.  My kids asked why were were having apple pie for breakfast.  This dish is not super sweet at all, but I did substitute a green apple with a honey crisp for a different taste, and it worked. Enjoy this amazing time of year and get baking, you have no excuse with such great ingredients!!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!

Chocolate Covered Cream Balls

Several years ago, I sampled a Milk Chocolate Coconut at See's Candies.  It was love at first bite.  Ever since then I have made a mandatory stop every time I went into the mall to get one of these delicious chocolates.  I love them so much !  However, there are two things I didn't like about them.  1) I had to go to the mall to get them, and 2) they are SO expensive.  I think the last time I was there I paid about 75 cents for 1 chocolate.

Healthier Chocolate Banana Muffins

 I know, I know.  We already have like 5 banana muffins posted on this blog.  I have put off posting this recipe because of that fact, but here's the thing.  While those muffins are all delicious and great in their own way, when I have ripe bananas you know I'm either making these muffins or banana bread.  More often, these muffins because they are perfect for a grab and go snack or breakfast.  My family LOVES these muffins! They have such a deep chocolate flavor and are so moist.  What my family doesn't think about, but I love, are that these muffins are healthier than your average muffin.  They are made with whole wheat flour, coconut oil, greek yogurt for extra protein, and have less sugar that most other muffins.  These are best warm (they can be reheated in the microwave for 10 seconds) and those bites with melted chocolate chips are the absolute best!
