Easy Stuffed Green PeppersWhenever fall hits, I seem to go into hibernation mode. It’s cold and all I want to do when I get home from work is to slip into cozy sweatpants, enjoy something hearty and warm for dinner, and watch one of the endless shows that I always seem to be behind on. (Maybe I just try to watch too many things? Anyone else have this problem?) The last thing I want to do, is to sit in the kitchen all night long, prepping dinner. And that’s where today’s recipe comes into play. These easy stuffed green peppers are delicious and also perfect to make in advance and freeze until you’re ready to eat them. Which means only 30 minutes for a delicious weeknight meal!

They are also perfect to prep in advance for a big dinner party or holiday entertaining that you might have coming up on your calendars. Make them on a weekend when you have some time, and pop them into the oven on the day of your event with no stress on your part!

Caramel Ice Cream Baked Apples

Caramel Ice Cream Baked ApplesI know I’ve mentioned it many times already, but this week officially kicks off my favorite month of the year by far. OCTOBER!

Time to usher in the ghosts, ghouls, pumpkins, candy corn, and caramel apples.

Let’s take a moment to talk about caramel. First off, I realize that I might have a different view on this, but I pronounce it care-a-mel. What about you guys? I think it’s an east coast thing. But, come on, there’s an “a” in there, right?!

Caramel Ice Cream Baked ApplesOk, back to caramel apples…the perfect combination that just screams fall. I make a batch every single year before halloween and plan to do the same thing again this year. (Watch out for a future blog post 😉

I’ve been sharing a new ice cream recipe once a month for the last little while and continue to keep this trend going until I have a full year under my belt. So how could I make a twist on a classic halloween dessert with ice cream?

By making caramel ice cream baked apples, of course!
