Foodie Friday is back! Did you miss it?
To be honest, we've been so busy lately that I haven't taken the time to venture over to Pinterest and actually choose a new recipe to try out. And I didn't think anyone would really be interested in a recipe on how to make Kraft Macaroni and Cheese or a post on how to grill a hot dog or hamburger. :-P
But, alas, fall is here and so is my inkling to bake and be merry! One year for Christmas, my Mom made each of my sisters and I a recipe box filled with all of our family recipes. I think most, if not all, are baked goods. What can I say? We are a family of bakers. I have yet to perfect my Grandma's pie crust (my sister is the expert!) but I think I'm going to work on that this fall/winter. I'm sure Jason and Jackson would be okay with that.
I bought a bunch of apples and never did anything with them and happened to glance over at that recipe box from my Mom and realized my Grandma has an excellent recipe for a chopped apple cake. And that's what I made last weekend. We've been enjoying it all week!
