Apple Cider Pie

Apple Cider Pie

This time of year means many things: colder weather, fall foliage and a lot more apples and pumpkins! Apple cider is something that tastes the best in the fall and is the perfect ingredient for this pie! Simmering the apples in the cider gives it amazing flavor. I used store bought crust for this as a time saver but if you prefer homemade, go for it! This recipe can work with both kinds of crust. This is going to be the star of your Thanksgiving table!

Blueberry Banana Bread

Blueberry Banana Bread

I love banana bread, it’s such a perfect way to use up those old ripe bananas. This bread is simple but tastes delicious. When I made this, it was gone pretty quick. Everyone will love this! Please note that this recipe makes two loaves of bread so if you only want one loaf, cut the ingredient list in half. Also remember that the berries will be super juicy after baking so watch out if you eat it too fast! A hot blueberry can hurt!  Continue reading “Blueberry Banana Bread”

Pumpkin Spice Cookies withCream CheeseFrosting

When I heard about Chobani’s new fall “Made with Chobani” campaign, where they are asking everyone to share their favorite healthy recipes that they make with Chobani, I could immediately feel my brain working away at a new recipe. The beauty about Chobani is that it is so versatile so it can be used for so many different things. (You can see how versatile Chobani is here). I decided to use one of their new fall flavors, Pumpkin Spice, and make Pumpkin Spice Cookies with Cream Cheese Frosting. This is a perfect cookie for fall in Connecticut. I can munch on these while watching the fall foliage begins. The Chobani made these cookies so chewy and gave the frosting a great flavor. These are cookies that people will love you for. Enjoy the recipe below and don’t forget to share your favorite way to use Chobani!

Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins

Now that summer is winding down I’ve been opening up my windows more and the one unintended perk was that my bananas ripened super quick! I noticed that they were brown and ripe and knew I had to use them quick! So I browsed Pinterest and found this recipe from Chef in Training. I opted out of one step but these still came out sweet, delicious and of course chocolately! This is a great recipe to keep on hand if you need something different for your ripe bananas besides bread.  Continue reading “Chocolate Chip Banana Muffins”
