Need a super cute and easy edible craft for the kiddos on Thanksgiving? Follow these simple directions to learn How to Make Dessert Pilgrim Hats that are both tasty and creative! These would also be cute on top of cupcakes or as mini-treats in decorative cellophane bags. I’m thinking of taking them in as class treats!

Supplies:
Chocolate cookies (I used Keebler Fudge Stripes)
Reese’s Peanut Butter cups – miniature size
Red Fruit roll-up
Yellow Chicklet gum
Chocolate Icing

Directions:

Place icing on the top of a peanut butter cup and attach to the middle of a cookie.
Cut a red fruit roll up into small pieces, about 2 inches long and ¼ inch wide and place it around the peanut butter cup.
Dab a small amount of icing on the chicklet gum and center it in the middle of the hat on top of the fruit roll up piece. This will be the “buckle” on the hat.
Let set for 5 minutes.

Apple Pie Filling Recipe with Homemade Apple Filling

by Dana Zeliff on October 19, 20172017-10-19
in Apples Recipes, Recipes

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

I made Apple Pie with my step-dad last week using apples picked from a local farm. I was surprised at how easy making an apple pie can be! If you want to make this all American pie, check out my Apple Pie Filling Recipe below:

Ingredients:
6-8 cups sliced apples
1/2 – 1 cup Brown sugar
1/8 + tsp salt
1 1/2 – 2 Tbsp cornstarch
1/4 + tsp cinnamon
1/8 + tsp nutmeg
1 package of Pillsbury pie crust

*The ingredient amount range is due to the size of the pie! Use the more of an ingredient for a 10 in. pie and less for a 9 in. pie. You can also modify the amount of brown sugar based on the sweetness/tartness of your apples.

Directions:

1. Combine all dry ingredients and sift over apples, stir. Tip: Use a large bowl and clean hands to mix as they are more gentle than a spoon.
2. Line pie crust with apple mixture and dot with butter.
3. Add top crust, prick or cut slits in top.
4. Sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar and dot with butter.
5. Bake at 450° for 10 minutes then lower temperature to 350° and bake for 35 to 45 minutes more. Tip: Place a baking sheet under the pie pan to prevent drips.
6. Top with vanilla ice cream or cool whip (optional.)

Are you looking for a new recipe to add to your menu plan? Cheesy and flavorful, this spinach stuffed chicken breast recipe will soon be a new family favorite. I like to serve it with another veggie and a rice pilaf.

There are a bunch of cheese options to personalize this dish. Feta, asiago, white cheddar, and pepper jack are tasty options as is an Italian blend or mixture of mozzarella and parmesan. The options are endless, so use your favorite cheese or whatever you have in the fridge!

You could also substitute frozen spinach, but I prefer the flavor of fresh.

The Best Gazpacho Recipe Ever! Our Favorite Spanish Soup

by Dana Zeliff on May 18, 20172017-05-18

Disclosure: This post may contain an affiliate link.

For years I’ve been experimenting to come up with the best gazpacho recipe. Now, determining what is actually the best, is a matter of opinion. However, after making countless different recipes and tweaking my favorites, I’ve finally come up with it!

A traditional Spanish soup, there are many variations of gazpacho. Chunky to smooth, spicy to mild, it’s the perfect warm weather soup that’s bursting with flavor. Eat it in a bowl or drink it out of a mug, it will pair perfectly with your next summer meal.

The trick is to get red, ripe tomatoes. My mom loves to make gazpacho in the summer when her garden is overflowing with tomatoes. It’s an easy and refreshing soup that ensures she doesn’t waste a single garden fresh vegetable.

Note that I prefer to peel my tomatoes and remove the seeds. This is not required and takes more work, but I think the change in flavor is worth the effort. For our most recent batch, we followed the recipe with the exception of not peeling or seeding the tomatoes. The kids tasted it (without knowing we changed anything) and wanted to know why it tasted different. The skin and seeds really does change the flavor!

I also like to add a Jalapeño to my gazpacho for added flavor. Removing the seeds helps to ensure it’s not spicy. BUT if you want to add a little kick to your soup, leave in the seeds. If you don’t like the flavor, you can omit the Jalapeño all together.
