I am enjoying the process of building a treasure chest of great tasting recipes for you the recreation of the other recipes has begun again! These will also be on my Thursday coffee chats! You can join me live or catch them later! Since it is fall and all things pumpkin and apple I found a recipe I have been holding on to for about 13 years! A time when many of my recipes were created from doing farmers markets and the bistro! Well I pulled it out and set to work to see what could come of this one! Well the first attempt I must say was amazing. I made a few tweets to the recipe- I'm never good at following them to a T!! Without further adieu here it is!
