[my plate at the first class visit] I had to make sure I was able to get to BOTH classes this month, because I am NOT lying when I say this.... we had some of the BEST FOOD EVER COOKED at class... this year! There have been a lot of really great classes, but when not just me but EVERYONE has a hard time picking a favorite food item- you know it's a good class!
For October we incorporated the POM European Garlic Dipping Oil into the following menu items; Twice baked Butternut Squash (YUM!), Maple and Apple Pork Tenderloin (YUMM), Chicken Salad w/ Apples and Creamy Italian Dressing (YUMMM) and Apple & Gorgonzola Jalapeno Peppers w/ Bacon (YUMMMM & HOT!) As you can tell, we had a lot of use for cooking with apples- perfect time of year for finding new and creative ways to use up those fresh picked apples from the orchards this year!
[product photo via the link above]Keeping with the theme of apples, our dessert was an Apple Butter Caramel dip- I think I recall licking the bowl after everyone left ;)
Tell me- what are some of YOUR favorite apple recipes. My mom had trees FULL of apples this year, I have made two pans of apple crisp and a soon to be dehydrated batch of chewy apple chips- a fall favorite of mine!
Be sure to check out the dates for class in Nov. We'll be keeping warm in the kitchen with giving a few side dish options a kick!
