THE BEST OF FALL COMFORT FOODS

Fall foods are the best....they warm your tummy and warm your soul....
Create the heart of your home in your kitchen...
these are foods I grew up on and that's a good reason
I make these recipes each and every year ...
the creative part is making recipes that others have loved
and shared with others....
there is no better apple cake than Mother's, but this one
proved to be pretty darn delicious...and beautiful too!
And, oh honey....my chicken and dressing 
is homemade goodness...
and of course, please treat yourself to afternoon
tea or coffee, accompanied by a Pumpkin Spice Muffin....
what a beautiful season we have been given....

The fall season is prime time to bake with apples...
I do not peel apples when baking,,
to me, the peel is beautiful and tastes so good....

Can't you just smell the aroma of apples and cinnamon
in this beautiful cake....

PERFECTION

FRESH APPLE CAKE

It was a rainy Sunday evening when I served my
homemade chicken and dressing....
Cowboys football, cozy throws and the magnificent aroma
of this comforting aroma coming from the kitchen.....

3 cups crumbled cornbread
2 cups breadcrumbs..use a good french bread
1 tsp each: Creole seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, sage, thyme
1 chicken bouillon packet
3 cups cooked chicken, chopped
1/3 cup butter
3 celery stalks, chopped
3 onions, chopped
3 eggs
5 cups chicken stock

Mix breads, seasonings, bouillon, and chicken in a large bowl.
Sauté celery and onions in butter until tender; add to bowl.
Stir in eggs and stock until mixture is soupy.
Pour into a greased dish and bake at 375°F for ~50 min, until golden brown.
Homemade Chicken Stock
Ingredients
1 whole chicken
6 cups water
3 celery stalks, 3 carrots, 3 garlic cloves (all chopped)
1 tbsp each: Creole seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, Kinders caramelized onion butter, mixed herbs & spices

I use Martha White Cornmeal Self Rising mix'
recipe on the back of the package

I sometimes enjoy using a baking mix rather
than using all the ingredients needed to bake from scratch...
this muffin mix from Bettergoods is a proven winner....

The spice is just the right amount and you can bet
I will serve these at Thanksgiving.....
they smell divine when  baking too

Fill your home with peace and contentment...
Serve good food to your family
Say your prayers at night....
Be grateful for your days....
Enjoy the beauty of Autumn....
