I think I'm in love. Or maybe I'm just confused because my hubby is off in Russia this week and I'm just trying to fill the void. Whatever the case, these Maple Walnut Apple Chips are addictive. Just look at that name and tell me that your mouth doesn't start to water. I had pretty high expectations, even though I'm not usually a fan of dried fruit. Partly because this is an Anna Olson recipe (I "love" her) and partly because the description sounded too good to be true. Let me tell you. These blew me out of the water and...

Admittedly, it may not be the most appetizing food to shoot, but that doesn't make it any less tasty. My mom used to make this dip every Christmas Eve for the smorgasbord we...

We are finally over the sickies. Wee Hoo! It had to make it's way through the whole house first, of course. But, thankfully we got it in varying degrees and not everyone was flat in bed. My little sonny almost made it a whole year without getting sick, besides the usual teething sniffles and agony, so I have much to be thankful for. This months Daring Cooks Challenge was hosted by Jen of Use Real Butter. She chose Chinese Dumplings/Potstickers (aka Gyoza in Japanese). I was very disappointed that I was not able to get this post up on time, but better late...
