Cook ground beef and onion in a Dutch oven or deep skillet –  stirring until beef crumbles and is no longer pink; drain and return to pan. Stir in pinto beans and next 6 ingredients; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer, stirring occasionally, 20 minutes.

Scrub potatoes; prick several times with a fork.

Microwave potatoes 1 inch apart on paper towels at HIGH 14 minutes or until done, turning and rearranging after 5 minutes. Let stand 2 minutes. Split potatoes, and top evenly with chili. Serve with desired toppings.

Rustic Apple Crisp (Recipe)


So I’ve been following IceMilkAprons blog called “Preserves” and she posted a new recipe a few days ago for RUSTIC APPLE CRISP. Well you KNOW I had to try it out and WHOA!! It was YUMMY!  Very easy and it called for the most simple – wholesome ingredients! When I make it again I will probably run the whole oats through the food processor for a few seconds just because I prefer a smoother “crisp” but either way its WAY FABULOUS!! Here is the recipe and a few pictures of the process!

 

 

 

Rustic Apple Crisp

Toss together the following ingredients in a lovely mixing bowl. This will be the inside of your cobbler. Spray a glass baking dish & fill with the below:
6 small granny smith apples, in thin slices.
4 TBSP flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
Sprinkling of salt

Mix the following ingredients together for the crumbly topping to pile atop the apple mixture:
3/4 cup flour
1/2 cup brown sugar
6 TBSP salted butter in pats
2/3 cups oats
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg

Bake in oven at 350F degrees for 30-40 minutes. Serve with whipped cream or scoop of vanilla bean ice cream. Top with caramel sauce for even more oooh’s & aaaah’s.

The perfect drizzle
Ingredients you will be happy to serve your family 🙂

Aprons …so “retro-chic”


Just one of many!! (This is my fav!)

I don’t know when aprons made their “come-back” but I LIKE IT!!  Seems like more and more people are getting back to the basics, cooking, baking, home-made gifting – it’s so nice to slow-down and enjoy the simple things that our mothers and grandmothers did.

 In the search for a MOST FABULOUS apron – I am happy to say EUREKA!! IceMilk Aprons are my personal fav! Simple but retro… looks exactly like something my Nana would have worn! Check out their site for other FABULOUS items like recipe cards, gift packages and monogramming services. Wouldn’t this be the perfect gift for those special ladies on your list? www.icemilkaprons.com
