Caramel apple cupcakes are the perfect dessert for fall parties

It’s almost fall and for me, that means apple season. If you are a fan of apple desserts, you are sure to love this cupcake. Filled with warm spices, like cinnamon, this cupcake is sweet without overdoing it.

The cupcakes are topped with a swirl of fluffy Swiss meringue buttercream flecked with a cider reduction. Hands down one of my favorite cupcakes of all time.

One Pan Chicken Sausage Recipe

August 10, 2019

This chicken sausage recipe with fall vegetables is the perfect weeknight meal. One pan, five ingredients and about 40 minutes. It requires little more than a bit of chopping and stirring, which is exactly the amount of effort I can handle after a long day.

We want to eat real food, but we rarely have the time or energy to spend hours preparing it. Generally speaking, those kinds of meals are reserved for the weekends. This dinner is the kind of meal you want to cook during the week. Doing a few minutes of chopping the night before will make this easy weeknight dinner even easier.

Dinner Divas Weekly Menu Plan: Week 83

November 16, 2018

The Dinner Divas are back with another week of delicious recipes. We are focusing on Thanksgiving this week. If you are still looking for a recipe or two to fill out your holiday table, look no further. Personally, I am drooling over the dessert this week. That cake is pure love.

Can you believe that Thanksgiving is less than a week away? Every year, I make the corn casserole recipe that is featured this week. I look forward it each Thanksgiving. My menu doesn’t change much from year to year, I’m a bit traditional where that is concerned. I do like to try new sides or a new dessert in addition to the standards, but I always have the traditional foods, like my grandmother’s classic bread stuffing, on my table.

The weekly menu is back with quick and easy dinner recipes. This is the time of year when I tend to gravitate toward “bowl food”. You know what I mean, right?

The Dinner Divas menu is full of fall flavors this week. Halloween is over, November is here and it’s time to gear up for the Thunderdome, otherwise known as Thanksgiving!

Slow Cooker Chipotle Turkey Pumpkin Chili

October 21, 2018

Turkey pumpkin chili is a great fall dinner that can be made in the slow cooker. Chili is one of my favorite cool weather meals and since it’s fall, pumpkin is everywhere! I like pumpkin bread as much as the next girl, but pumpkin isn’t only for sweet recipes. It can transform a bowl of chili into something wonderfully creamy and flavorful.

This chili is made without tomatoes, so it’s a bit different from your normal chili. We like it so much that it just might give my Simple Turkey Chili a run for its money.

Slow cooker meals are great for those days when you want something comforting, but you don’t really have time to stand in front of the stove. This chili recipe is perfect for days like that. Plus, it give the chili time to develop all of the wonderful flavors going on in there.
