Fall Dinner

Pork chops, roasted butternut squash and homemade applesauce. I decided to make a fall favorite for dinner tonight. After seasoning with salt and pepper, I seared two pork chops then finished cooking them on medium heat in a frying pan. I also cut up a butternut squash and onions and roasted them at 375 for about 45 minutes. The final dish was homemade applesauce, apples courtesy of Macqueen's Orchard. Aurora, Jeff and I went to pick apples a few weekends ago and I couldn't believe how many we ended up bringing home. I made two batches of applesauce and froze them. It defrosted really well and was delicious.

Boo-tiful Halloween Cookies!

Aurora and I had a fun time making these cookies. They definitely aren't professionally decorated, but we enjoyed trying. I used a rich roll cookie recipe from the Joy of Cooking. I made the dough in the food processor and then chilled it in the fridge overnight. It was a little sticky, so I added lots of flour while rolling.

Blueberries!!

Again, a little late. Aurora, Mom, Dad, Sarah and I headed out to blueberry hill to harvest the mini-blueberry farm...we lucked out and could eat as many as we picked. The blueberries went into pancakes, muffins, crisp and many other recipes!

Summer Cooking - a little late :)

Grilling in Grand Marais...can it get any better? Beautiful chicken and grilled caesar salad on the grill!
