What is Nantucket pie? And reverse caramel apples? I am totally intrigued by that idea. Whatever it is. Caramel and apples together in any formation works for me.

I love this thread. I am learning so much.

Here is a link for Nantucket pie. It is delicious!

I've never made the reverse caramel apples...but they look SO good that I am gonna give them a try. You take some granny smith apples, slice in half, core them and hollow them out a bit, then pour in melted caramel. Refrigerate until the caramel sets and then slice. Mmmmmmmmm!

Thank you for the link. Wow that pie sounds great.

The caramel apple idea is a good one. I am missing going up to our local apple region this fall. It is always a fun trip and I usually bring back apple pie, apple dumplings, caramel apples..fresh apples..can you tell that I like apples?

I will. I'm not eating a lot of grains these days so I'm going to make it a mission to learn how to bake well and treat myself

I made mah first big pot o'Soup of the season last night.
Fresh broccoli n cheddar...non-milk base.

Garnished with diced romas, italian cheezes
and sprinkles of broccoli crowns.



It was awesome.

I usually take pics of mah food, because that's what
mah life has come to...LOL, but it's in the
Amazoniacs phone so I gotta
get a forward.



The bread we had ~ was Screaming with goodness

Traders Joe's Circle of Rolls



I'm making a Chowder next week.

Tonight we are having that giant stalk of Brussels Sprouts.



And a couple of steaks that mah sister gave us.

oh dang soup sounds good today. I have a big ass bag of baking potatoes for thanksgiving. I think I need to snag a few of those and some cheese and .... hmmmm some potato soup or something. I wish I had some bacon.

I grew a tons of sweet potatoes and butternut squash. I'm cooking a sweet potato now. I love to put cinnamon on them.

You just reminded me that I have butternut squash. Hmm..guess I had better cook it. When I make butternut bisque it flies out the door. I would be lucky to get some.

Bacon..I still have to plan a bacon dinner party. This is something special for a friend who is a bacon freak. I played around with a BLT soup idea: Tomato, Escarole, garlic and bacon. Veg base. It was good. Still working on the details of the whole dinner menu. The only special request was a bacon vodka martini.

Sweet potatoes I could eat every day. One of the things that I make for the kids in my family are hand cut sweet potato fries. Just peel, cut and bake. Nothing to it. Then I make a dipping sauce, usually maple. Sometimes coconut. Easy. The kids love it.

Hi Kat,

I like to take an assortment of vegetables and toss them with olive oil and sea salt then roast them in a 325 oven for an hour. Usually i will cut up a few different root vegetables, brussel sprouts, whatever seems like a good idea at the time.

A veggie casserole that I mad long ago was just cut up fresh, broccoli, spinach, zucchini, red pepper, carrots, onion, plum tomato (you can add anything) mixed with light sour cream, shredded extra sharp cheddar and shredded monterey jack. Roughly 3 cups of veg, one cup of sour cream and 2 cups of cheese. I think I added a little milk, salt, pepper and Tabasco.
Pour this into a casserole dish and top with fresh bread crumbs. Bake for 45 mins on 325.
