When KitchenAid sent me their Diamond Blender they also included some recipes and I was so curious about the one for a green smoothie. In my post Green Smoothie? Not for this foodie! I express my confusion and frustration with the green smoothie movement. Why did I choose this recipe to review? Because there is no […]
“Slow Cooker Desserts” Apple Butterscotch Crisp
Martha Stewart’s Brandy Apple Pie
Before everything went wrong on Christmas Eve, I made Martha’s Brandy Apple Pie from her cookbook Martha Stewart’s New Pies and Tarts.
