Harvest Apple Crisp
Let me tell you from personal experience, THIS APPLE CRISP IS AWESOME!!! This recipe is so quick to throw together with no fuss. You could make it a day ahead, but you would have to hide it from your family. Do not leave this dessert unsupervised before serving, the crunchy topping will start to disappear. If you see holes in the corners of the dessert, check the corners of your husband's lips.... More...

I'm sorry there's not a photo of this simple, money-saving recipe. Hungry families sometimes forget to wait for their dinners to be photographed.

Yes, I know there are white sauces, but that's a different recipe, another post. ANYWAYS, my daughter... More...

It's strange to call this a 'salad' when it's really a dessert. A wonderfully creamy dessert! The first time we tried this dessert was at a pot luck holiday party. The best thing about pot lucks is there's always something new to try. For the adventurous types, this is a lot of fun. For picky eaters, it's spells an evening of loading up on chips. For those with highly trained taste buds,... More...
