Mom's Easy Apple Crisp

Many years ago, I met a girl from our church and we became great friends.

We shared many things in common, but a real thread that bound us was a love for Southern Living cookbooks!

Yes!

It's been that long ago when we would pour over the magazines

and collect the annual cookbooks and share our love of trying a new recipe!

We ate many Sunday lunches at their house.

Two reasons for that:

They lived close to the church . . . and we didn't

They could leave right when church was over . . . and we couldn't

By the time we got to their house on Sunday afternoons, she was able to have all the last minute things done and they were standing around waiting on us.

That's the life of having a pastor over for lunch . . .

you spend a lot of time waiting for them to get there!

Anyway; it's been a very long time since we've seen each other, but I still make a lot of our shared recipes.

This one, however, was not a Southern Living recipe.

I'm not sure where this is from, but the first time we had this, I knew it was a keeper.

It's so easy!

It's great for dessert or for breakfast!

Try it warmed, over some waffles, or with a scoop of ice cream . . . maybe on top of the waffle!

Charleston's Style Potato Soup

Love Charleston's! Love everything I ever eat at Charleston's. Love the blackened fish sandwich, which isn't listed on the menu but you can still order it, with glazed carrots. Love the carrots! Love the chicken fingers; the best there are! I rarely order them -- because it's not a healthy choice, but oh boy! They're delish! Love the honey glazed croissant. L.O.V.E! Love the pork chops with smashed potatoes and glazed carrots. Love the potato soup! Seriously adore it! It's thick. It's simple. It's delicious! We don't have a Charleston's where we live. Boo hoo! Here's a close replica of Charleston's baked potato soup. I found it at www.tastebook.com I made some adjustments to the recipe. Not because I think I "know," but because I didn't have everything on hand nor can my sweet girl cherub have some of the ingredients. I made it and didn't tell my family what it was su...

"Hosaf" (Dried Fruit Compote)

I've made reference to our trip last Summer to different European countries. My prized souvenirs are cookbooks from each country. I'm not sure, of the 4 cookbooks, which is my favorite, but I surely enjoy the one I purchased while in Greece. I'll tell the quick story: We were in an open air market in Greece, searching through antiques and junk. Along the perimeter of where we were shopping were business. In typical European fashion, outside one of the restaurants was a young man leaning against the doorframe, as if to summon customers into his restaurant. When he heard our English, he asked where we were from, as he had studied in the States when he was in school. That question led to a great conversation and he invited us into the restaurant which he and his mother owned. We sampled all sorts of incredible foods that afternoon and when I told him that I would love to have a cookbook because of the great experience we had just had, he showed me the co...
