Friday Pie-Day: Bumbleberry Pie

I have to be honest – when I saw this recipe in my Taste of Home pie book, I decided to make it only because of its quirky name. It turned out to be a favorite though, despite a few mishaps!

Why is it called bumbleberry, you might ask? There is no such berry as a “bumbleberry,” after all. But after a little research (and the reading of a cute little story), I can give a few answers…

Friday Pie-Day: Caramel Apple Walnut Pie

After the 45 different pies we've made over the last 4 years, you would think we had covered all possibilities. But you would be wrong. After all our apple creations, this was in a league of its own.

Friday Pie-Day: Perfect Apple Pie

Well, this is where it all began. Aunt Betty had been making this classic pie for us most of our lives, and one day she finally decided we were ready to make it ourselves.

Monday Meals: Apple Bread {Breakfast for Dinner}

Every once in awhile, we have breakfast for dinner. It is a happy occasion, and there is much rejoicing. In our household, breakfast for dinner is usually a much more elaborate affair than breakfast at breakfast-time. We have eggs, bacon, sausage, hashbrowns, fruit, and… oh yes, APPLE WALNUT BREAD!!! 

I am not going to go into detail of how to make most of the meal, since everyone has different preferences, but the bread is something to behold. It is pungent and aromatic, along with being exceptionally flavorful and mouth-watering.
