Lazy Pierogi Casserole with Sauerkraut and Apple (aka Lazy Perogies)

March 23, 2020 by Faith 41 Comments

Lazy Pierogi Casserole with Sauerkraut and Apple (aka Lazy Perogies) has all the flavor of a delicious perogy, but with a quick, easy, and healthier spin!

Once the crisp chill of autumn settles in, my mom eases back into her routine of making big traditional comfort meals for our Sunday suppers, instead of casual dinners cooked on the grill.

A few years back she started making a dish that she calls Lazy Perogies that she learned from an old friend of the family. (Growing up in Buffalo, New York, this is actually a fairly popular recipe!)…

Sweet Apple Hand Pies with Cheddar Shortcrust {#BrunchWeek}

May 12, 2017 by Faith 16 Comments

This post is sponsored in conjunction with #BrunchWeek. I received product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of the #BrunchWeek recipes. All opinions are mine alone. Sweet Apple Hand Pies with Cheddar Shortcrust let the magical flavor pairing of sweet apple and sharp cheddar shine. I was so torn when I was thinking about the third recipe I wanted to share for Brunch Week. Originally, I had high hopes for something egg-centric like quiche, frittata, or even a really special omelet....

Baked Apple Cinnamon Doughnuts with Apple Cider Glaze

October 8, 2014 by Faith 6 Comments

These Baked Apple Cinnamon Doughnuts with Apple Cider Glaze are full of warm spices and apple flavor; they’re moist and sweetly scented of fall. It’s the weirdest thing ever. I don’t eat doughnuts (or donuts) all year long until autumn rolls around....

Harvest Kale Salad with Roasted Acorn Squash, Toasted Hazelnuts, and Apple-Cinnamon Vinaigrette {Let Them Eat Kale Cookbook Giveaway}

September 29, 2014 by Faith 31 Comments

From first bite, I’ve always been a kale-lover, but that might be because the first time I had it I was an adult. (My mom has a serious dislike of all leafy greens so she literally never made them – not once! – for my sister and I growing up. But don’t worry, we weren’t veggie-deprived! She was still of the strict belief that every meal should include a vegetable.)...

Healthy Candy Apple Wedges {Paleo}

October 30, 2013 by Faith 40 Comments

How many of you will admit to sneaking some of your kid’s Halloween candy when no one is looking? I don’t have kids (yet!), but yeah, I’d be guilty as charged. It’s the stuff we won’t buy for ourselves, but if it’s just hanging around, it’s fair game. If you didn’t buy it for yourself, the calories don’t count, right? ;) I like to have healthier treats that will still satisfy a sweet tooth at the ready....

Baked Apple Fritter Donuts

March 21, 2010 by Faith 34 Comments

I’ve been dying for apple fritter donuts. Apples, as one of my favorite fruits, are always abundant in my house. I had a little leftover Guinness in my fridge from making this stew. Saturday morning was free for me to experiment in the kitchen. Did I really have any choice but to make these little beauties? As these were baking, the whole house smelled like a pastry shop. The floral scent of apples filled the air and was heavenly combined with the warming scent of cinnamon. These fritters tased phenomenal – the dough was yeasty and slightly chewy, the apples fruity and floral, and the […]...
