This is a classic apple pie recipe. We are using Pillsbury pre-made pie crust for this recipe. Of course you can make your own crust. But after making it several times myself, I can tell you its not worth the time. Simply because its tough to get the right consistency with the dough, then it …

Baguette French Toast

I’ve always loved fresh toast, but baguette french toast only became a thing when my husband started picking up a fresh loaf on our weekly grocery trip.  Baguettes are awesome, but they can go stale overnight.  One of the best ways to re-purpose an extra crusty baguette is by turning it into french toast.  Crusty …

Ginger Cookies

For Christmas I have a few “classics” in my repertoire. This is one of them. What I like about these cookies is that they are chewy and soft, without being too sickly sweet, which is surprising for a cookie. Its dangerous how much you can eat because of this.  I also love how the spices …
