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:
  1. They lived close to the church . . . and we didn't
  1. 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...

Mixed Nut Butter

I've been making almond butter for the Mr. some time now. I used to make it in my (very) old food processor. Matter of fact, my dad bought the food processor for me before I ever got married . . . from a garage sale! So I know it's at least 20 years old, but probably older! I bet when my dad did that he had no idea I'd still be using it! That's money well spent, huh? Recently, thought, the Mr. saw a "suggestion" to make mixed nut butter. There you go; enough said! I've already made him two different kinds recently. Regardless of your preference, I don't think you can go wrong! The first I made was a combination of walnut and pecan Now, I've made a mix of cashew and walnut Next will be pecan and almond I think. It's so easy. Follow the general directions from the post about making almond butter: http://karen-proverbs31.blogspot.com/2012/01/almond-butter.html There's a bit of difference, but on...
