An apple a day





When Fall rolls around I know this means one of my seasonal favorites is here.
Honey Crisp apples!


I look forward to using them in a few new and old recipes.







This  inspirational photo paired with my honey crisps resulted in two types of piesWith my muffin tin I made single serving tarts similar to this photo and the other...





I used my (small) oval ramekins for a double serving size.
Well, in my husbands case...he considers it his generous single serve.



Each were topped with vanilla cream. 
I created this recipe in a pinch and now it's become the one most requested

Vanilla Cream

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup (give or take to taste) Darigold /French-Vanilla-Creamer
(No substitutes. Darigold creamer is made with real cream)
1 teaspoon corn starch
Directions:

In a saucepan combine all the ingredients.  Wisk until it thickens.  Strain into pitcher.   Lay plastic wrap directly on top of the vanilla cream sauce to avoid a skin from forming.
Can be served hot or cold.

 

Honey Crisp
Carmel Chocolate 
Apple Appetizer




These are the best of both worlds,
chocolate and caramel!
Who could ask for more.


Directions:

Taking a melon baller cut balls out.  With the tip of a pairing knife carve out small holes for filling.
Place balls in a bowl or bag, sprinkle Fruit Fresh covering the entire surface of the balled apples.
Pat dry.  Fill with  layers of caramel and chocolate ganache.

These can be plated individually in festive petite cupcake liners


What are your Fall favorites?

Vanilla cream would make anything good even better. Mmmm.
Gosh, these look goods.

Fall faves? I'd have to give it some thought, but one of the things I like at parties is baked brie with chutney. The chutney reminds me of fall or winter. Love that.

And I like hot mulled cider.

XO,

Falling into Fall........

October has brought a definite chill to the air, putting me in a decorating mood. As you've come to know from visiting my blog, I love exploring new ideas for taking the ordinary and making it extraordinary. Which I accomplish through the inspiration provided by visiting your lovely blogs. Nothing says "FALL" like these... PUMPKINS! The versatility of pumpkins in any fall decor is endless. I've only got one problem... sometimes the pumpkins can start to look a little sad before the seasons end. (Natalie Maynor's photo) Violet Skiles has the perfect solution! Pumpkin Toppers Flowers, leaves, pearls, frame charm .....what more could you ask for? Reusable, perhaps? Yes they are! Violet has a beautifully illustrated tutorial at her blog for creating your own Pumpkin Topper . Please stroll on over for a visit. She's just as charming as her art! **************************************************** T...

She knows we have to say goodbye....

Angel laid on my chest and filled my face with kitty kisses. Trying to give me enough of them to ease my pain and hopefully carry me through in her absence. Our time is fleeting. How I wished I could turn back the clock. When I look at her I can't convey to her the the love I have, or how great this loss is to me. Especially how I'll miss her everyday. Angel always loved blogging, more so putting in her opinion. She has been my constant companion through my darkest hours and has brought my greatest delights for 16 years. As my dear friend said to me..."they're the ones we whisper our greatest fears to." "We have a big favor to ask of you." My circle of family and friends is very tiny here, so finding solace can be distant. This is where I'm reaching out to you. I know you understand with all your heart what these furry companions mean to us. I would like to compile a scrapbook with all your comments. Whether your a pet owner or just a lover...

Yes Virginia, Christmas has come early!

It's finally happened! My camera has closed it's shutter for the last time. No need for tears... CAUSE I'M JUMPIN' FOR JOY! "Get your boots on Virginia, were goin' camera shopin'." Although my camera isn't as old as the one pictured here...it certainly felt like it at times, especially without a macro option (that word has become music to my ears). It's quite possible I've paid the equivalent of two new cameras with all the batteries purchased over the course of time. For any of you that have stock in Duracell batteries..."you're welcome." If I were to leave the selection of my new camera up to my family... I've no doubt this is what they'd pick out. "Holy macro " just think what I could capture in a single shot... Wow, that would be one hard flash dot to shake from your retinas. I'd be the envy of every paparazzi in Hollywood. Due to the demise of my camera... I wasn't able to bring you all my ...
