Wrapping Up Apple Month 🍏🍎

September 24, 2024

Hello and HAPPY FALL! I'm so happy we can officially say it's fall now! Today's post will be my last of the September apple recipes. I have 2 new recipes to share and then I'll give a quick run-down of all the apple recipes on my blog so you can have them in one post. Ok, here goes! Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake Pie Anyone opposed to starting with dessert? Good because I've got a delicious one to share today. It's Salted Caramel Apple Cheesecake Pie and I try to make it sometime during the fall or for Thanksgiving. It is just heavenly! This recipe is by Brown Eyed Baker, and you can find the link here. Next is a savory Apple and Cheddar Stuffed Chicken that I love to make in ... Read more

Fluff the Nest Friday: Candle Making for the Fall Home

September 20, 2024

One thing I love to do after fluffing the nest is to light a candle! The flickering light reflects off of those freshly cleaned surfaces and the scent adds a pleasing aroma around the home. Sometimes when I need motivation to clean, I may even go ahead and light the candle before I begin my work just to get me inspired and moving. I found this pretty acorn dish at Home Goods a couple of weeks ago. What actually caught my attention was the fact that it's a dish for baking a wheel of brie in and I enjoy serving baked brie during the holidays. I loved that it's an acorn with a matching lid to keep the cheese hot until time to serve and little handles on each side to carry it. It's just so ... Read more

Apple Salad with Apple Cider Vinaigrette

September 17, 2024

Here's an easy and delicious recipe for a salad that suits the season! I like to put out the following ingredients and let everyone build it the way they want: Fresh spinach Chopped grilled chicken Chopped bacon Blue cheese Toasted pecans Sliced apples (pears are delicious too!) Dried cranberries Apple cider vinaigrette— this one is delicious! I serve this salad as a whole meal with the chopped chicken or as a side to a chicken or pork dish. I love the flavors and textures in this salad! The sweet apples, savory bacon, pungent blue cheese, chewy cranberries, crunchy pecans, and tangy vinaigrette— it’s my idea of a perfect salad! ...

Fluff the Nest for Fall

September 13, 2024

Too early to decorate for fall? Nah!! I usually try to wait until the official first day of fall to decorate for the season, but this year I just couldn't wait that long! My daughter and I have been longing for autumn days and have decided to just go ahead and jump in with some decorating and baking. I brought down my box of fall decorations from the attic last week and have put out a few things each day after school, beginning with the entrance. I added some fall stems and tan gingham ribbon to my front door basket but haven't done anything to the front porch so that will come later. I've got to get outside this weekend and do a lot of yard work, so I'll probably go ahead and ... Read more

Apple Brie Stuffed Chicken

September 10, 2024

Hey friends, I've got a delicious apple recipe today that you can put on your September "Apple Month" menu! Last night I was going to make a cheddar apple stuffed chicken recipe that is one of our favorite fall meals but decided late in the day to switch to a new recipe with brie cheese that I've wanted to try. This recipe is all over the internet so I wouldn't even know who to give credit to, and I made my own adjustments anyway. I'll give you a little run-through with photos and then attach the printable recipe. I washed and patted dry 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast and cut slits into them to create a pocket. Then I seasoned them lightly with salt and pepper, both sides plus ... Read more

The Story of Two Apple Cakes

September 3, 2024

Happy September, everyone! And Happy Apple Month!! I'm excited to have apples back in season and back on my table in the form of different recipes. My first apple post this year has a little history behind it so this is the story of two apple cakes which starts with the story of two cookbooks. In high school, I worked in the food court of a mall.  My manager's husband worked at a bank and so at Christmastime when she bagged up some goodies for the employees, she included his bank's cookbook called All Aboard, Alabama. I can assure you that I was the only 16-year-old working at that yogurt shop that was actually thrilled to be given a cookbook for a Christmas bonus, ha! I had cooked ... Read more

Goodbye, August!

August 31, 2024

I hate to wish any season away and I do enjoy so much about summer, but it's been so hot here lately that we're all just over it and ready to move on to fall. Every day we're looking for any sign of autumn's arrival. I've loved having this tree out my front window this week. But don't let the fall colors fool you; it was in the upper 90s when I took this pic. My husband had a business meeting in Atlanta one day, so my son and I rode with him because my grain store is just outside of Atlanta, and I needed to restock. It was a hot day, but a pretty ride and I had just received a new issue of Southern Lady, so I took that with me to read in the car. It's full of beautiful photos and ... Read more

Anything in particular you'd like to see me post? ... Read more
