Puppy Chow

Apple Cake

This delectable Apple Cake has a slightly crunchy crust and a soft moist center that is loaded with chunks of sweet apple and pecans. It is perfectly spiced with cinnamon, ground cloves and nutmeg. It is lightly drizzled with an easy four ingredient caramel sauce. I make this cake several times each fall for bake sales, potlucks and family and friend get-togethers.

Easy Ratatouille

This easy ratatouille recipe is a classic summer French stew filled with vibrant, colourful and nutritious vegetables: tomatoes, zucchini and eggplant. It is a low-carb, gluten-free and vegan dish that can be made in one pan and served atop greens or grains, as a side to a main entrée, or all on its own.

This is an old stand by for our house. Thanks for putting it here. It’s hard to keep the recipes you most frequently use all together for holiday baking. I’ve got a 3″ binder that I keep all of my recipes in……..this is a good site to use the recipe box. You just add your recipes to it and come back to them when you need them. Brilliant idea!!!!

My recipe also calls for 1 stick of butter. I use 1 package of choc chips, 1/2 cup peanut butter (Peter Pan!), 1 stick of butter. This goes into one full box of Crispix cereal. I use a paper sack to shake it up with about 2 cups of powdered sugar. I agree with letting the chocolate harden first. I just leave the lid off the container I store it in for a bit. Otherwise it will get stale and soggy really quick if you close it up warm.

This is another holiday must in our home. After shaking in the powdered sugar, I spread it out on a cookie sheet and let the chocolate harden before storing. The recipe can be doubled.
