Even though we’re getting into the citrus season, apples are still ever-present and new varieties are showing up weekly. (One of my favorites, the Sundowner, just hit the market last week!) I love apples, especially the tart, crunchy kind. You know the kind I’m talking about, those that aren’t too sweet or soft. The ones… Continue reading Apple Challah French Toast Bake

Apples on Horseback
The big game is this weekend and now that we know which teams are going to be facing off, it’s time to start planning the party! You’ve got the times and the TV’s all set. You know which cocktails you’re serving and you even have chili on the stove and the grill ready to go.… Continue reading Apples on Horseback
Star Cocktail
November wouldn’t be November without at least one apple cocktail. While apples have been in season for over a month, this is the month when pumpkin recipes step aside and apple takes its place. Everywhere you look are apple recipes ranging from pies to pork chops. Apples go so well with so many different things,… Continue reading Star Cocktail
Apple Onion Tart
Every time I think fruit season is over, a new one begins with even better produce than the season before. Peach and berry season is almost over, and while I’m bummed to say good-bye to all those delicious stone fruits, apple season has just begun! I love apples almost as much as I love peaches… Continue reading Apple Onion Tart
Sweet Challah Rolls with Apple Raisin Filling
We’re right in the middle of High Holidays. Last Tuesday was Rosh Hashana and today and Thursday are Kol Nidre and Yom Kippur. It’s a time of celebration and atonement. A time to reflect on the past year, what we’ve achieved and what we hope to accomplish in the coming year. It’s a time when… Continue reading Sweet Challah Rolls with Apple Raisin Filling
Apple Pie Pork Chops
Back in the “old world” before Covid, I used to get together with several other bloggers at Melissa’s Produce. We’d talk and enjoy an amazing lunch and then have a Q&A with a specific chef about their newest cookbook. Photos would be taken, there would be cooking demos and so. Much. Food. We were actually… Continue reading Apple Pie Pork Chops
Apple Strudel
From Thanksgiving to New Years, there’s really only one thing I’m thinking about: dessert. Starting with turkey day and all the way through new years there’s always decadent desserts. There are pies and cakes and so many cookies and cookie swaps… it’s easy to see why people tend to gain five to 10 pounds over… Continue reading Apple Strudel
Apple, Squash and Brussels Sprout Salad
Can you believe that Thanksgiving is just a week away? I can’t either. I mean, I’ve barely figured out how many people I’m having, let alone what I’m making. So, I decided to sit down earlier this week and figure out my menu. I have the turkey, stuffing, gravy and cranberries. My aunt’s making the… Continue reading Apple, Squash and Brussels Sprout Salad
Thomas & Jeremiah Cocktail
Everywhere I look these days there are apples. Fujis, Honey Crisps, Pippins, Granny Smiths, Crimson Golds, the list goes on and on. We all have our favorites, mine are Honey Crisps and Crimson Golds. But that’s not what I really love. When apples start showing up at markets, I know fresh apple cider is right… Continue reading Thomas & Jeremiah Cocktail
Cornbread Apple Stuffing
As with most families, the holidays mean a lot of travel and a lot food. It’s no different for me. Every year we spend Thanksgiving up in Northern California and then for Christmas we’re always here in So. Cal. I love Thanksgiving and all the delicious food that comes with it. There is one downside… Continue reading Cornbread Apple Stuffing
Apple Potato Latkes
The first night of Hanukkah was last night. I love Hanukkah and all that comes with it: lighting the candles, preparing a special meal the first night, the presents (although we don’t give one each of the eight nights) and of course the latkes. The latkes, also known as potato pancakes, are far and away… Continue reading Apple Potato Latkes
