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

March 23, 2020 by Faith 44 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....

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....

This Apple Crumb Cake Recipe is a lovely aromatic spice cake with shredded apples, roasted pears, and crumbly streusel topping.

Thank you for your support and for reading my blog! xoxo, Faith And now for the cake! I have found my ultimate autumn cake. Which, oddly enough, does not contain pumpkin, lol....

Baked Caramel-Apple Custard Oats

December 22, 2009 by Faith 24 Comments

If ever there was a dish that blurred the lines between breakfast and dessert, this recipe is it. The three main ingredients – apples, oats, and seeds/nuts – are the makings of a healthy start to your day. But in this recipe these ordinary ingredients are transformed into something truly decadent, sure to please dessert lovers. I used a little molasses and organic pure cane sugar for a caramel flavor, but feel free to use any sugar you have on hand. The texture of this is luxuriously smooth, and the egg gives it a custard-like quality, which is why I decided to caramelize a little […]...

Cheese Latkes & Homemade Applesauce For Hanukkah

December 7, 2009 by Faith 21 Comments

Chaya (of Sweet and Savory Says It All) was kind enough to host our All Through the Year Cheer Hanukkah, so I’ll be sending this dish over to her. She is now accepting recipe submissions! According to History.com, “On each night of Hanukkah, the menorah is lit to commemorate a miracle which occurred after the Jews proclaimed victory over the Syrian armies in 165 B.C.E. When Jews came to rededicate the Temple-which had been defiled by the Syrians-they found only one small flask of oil with which to light the menorah. This flask contained only enough oil for one day, yet the lamp burned […]...

Individual Apple-Cheesecake Pastries

November 10, 2009 by Faith 24 Comments

Right now I have more apples to use up than I know what to do with! I’ve already made applesauce (post coming soon), baked apples, dehydrated apples, apple butter, and toasted apple-cheese sandwiches. Later this week I’m planning to make a savory soup with apples and cheddar, and if I get a chance I want to try my hand at Spiced Apple French Macarons. (So many apples so little time!) Anyway, back to my Individual Apple Cheesecake Pastries. I wanted a way to use up some of my abundance of apples…I had puff pastry in my freezer that wasn’t earmarked for anything…I’ve been craving […]...

Baked Apples 2 Ways

November 3, 2009 by Faith 20 Comments

As you may know, apples are closely related to roses (I only found this out recently, and I thought it was so interesting!). This might seem strange, but bake an apple and it won’t seem so odd. Baked apples have a distinctive sweet, floral aroma just like roses. You’re probably thinking that this scent would make a lovely perfume, right? This is exactly why I love the DKNY Be Delicious fragrance collection! As edible (or food-based, I should say) scents go, this is the only one I like to wear…but vanilla is my favorite candle scent! It makes the house smell like fresh baked cookies. […]...
