Quick Recipe: Apple-Stuffed Baked Apples
A couple of weeks ago we were trying to think of desserts to serve at our fall party that were simple, but yummy. We’d served our Apple Crisp Pizza last year and felt like we should mix it up a bit. Baked apples seemed like a good choice. But we didn’t want to just fill them up with brown sugar and call it a day. So what better way to get the most apple-y apple dessert? Put apples inside the apples of course! Add some pumpkin spice, and bam! Super fall dessert. This recipe is super yummy, and really easy. It’ll impress your friends without stressing you out. And it’s great to serve at fall parties, though you could totally just make some for yourself if you want (which you probably will).
The Snack Report: 1911 Pumpkin Hard Cider
Another week in October goes by, and so the world grows more and more orange. That’s cool though, save for a few idiotically cold days last weekend, it’s been a really awesome Fall so far. Continuing from last week’s snack report which covered Woodchuck’s Private Reserve, this week we take a look at a lesser-known brand, 1911 Hard Cider.
The Snack Report: Woodchuck Private Reserve Pumpkin Cider
So we’ve found ourselves knee-deep in Fall once again, and with the coming of orange leaves comes pumpkin variations of every edible item on planet Earth. I kid, but don’t get me wrong, I love Fall, I love pumpkin, and I enjoy seeing the pumpkin variations of different foods and drinks.
If you remember last year, PCFG took to reviewing three autumnal editions of hard ciders in October. This year, we’ll be doing the same, simply because ’tis the season. Today we take a look at an offering from Woodchuck, a personal favorite of mine.
Happy Fall Recipe! How To Make Momiji (Fried Maple Leaves)
For whatever reason, both Meg and I have a soft spot for weird Asian stuff. We love exploring Asian marts looking for intriguing foods and ingredients, both because it’s exciting and because Asian cuisine is legit yummy. Last year however, we happened upon one of the more out-there food ideas we’ve come across, a Japanese snack food called momiji. In short, these are just battered, fried maple leaves. That’s it. They’re a Fall tradition hailing from the village of Minoo (mee-nohh) and actually are pretty yummy. Now trust me, I don’t like lettuce or salads at all. But despite the fact fried leaves sounds kind of bland, these are definitely worth your time for both the fact they taste good, and also just the fun whimsy of eating maple leaves during the Fall.
Smoothie Sunday: Autumn Sweet Potato Smoothie
Well friends, fall is officially upon us, which means that Smoothie Sunday is wrapping up for the season. Since my mission this year was to try to work more veggies into my smoothies it seemed appropriate to begin and end with a vegetable-based smoothie. It’s just coincidence that both of them happened to be orange. This smoothie is perfect for the first week of autumn, and it will have you ready for Thanksgiving even though it’s still a couple of months away.
What you’ll need.
