Chocolate Monkey Bread
Monkey Bread! There are so many varieties. This chocolate version is made from simple ingredients and ends up full of wow! The dough itself outdoes any freezer dough or refrigerator biscuit and bakes up light and fluffy. It’s a great example of why we all need some white flour in our storage. Continue reading |
French Apple Pie
This pie is a cross between a pie and a crisp. It’s so good, I couldn’t even get the picture taken before a slice was gone! Don’t be put off by the GIGANTIC list of ingredients. With an oatmeal crust you can press into the pan, this dessert comes together really quickly. Even my father-in-law, who’s not a big pie fan, enjoyed it! –Mellyn
Cheesy Apple Muffins
Going without cheese is no option for our family. My grandfather loved cheese so much he would put it in his morning oatmeal. I guess you could say grandpa was the inspiration for these muffins. They are full of apples, but the cheese makes them awesome and adds variety to the kinds of things my food storage brings to my breakfast table. Yes, I spend the extra money on freeze-dried cheeses, but I shop the sales and stock up when I find it for $15-$20 a #10 can. I also feel $40 a can is too much, but when things are on sale, I can justify a lot.
Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal
Dried apples go quickly in our house. My kids will eat them by the handfuls. If I have a chance I love to make this for breakfast. It has simple ingredients and it disappears almost as fast as the apples by themselves.
Apple Pancakes
Don’t let the long list of ingredients keep you from trying these. They are inspired by a family recipe given to me from my mother-in-law. We can’t live without these special pancakes so I was just determined to make them out of shelf stable ingredients. They do not disappoint. Continue reading
Great Pumpkin Cookies
Delicious and reasonably healthy — these are chocolate chip cookies Charlie Brown (and every other kid) will love. As the Mom I love them, too. They freeze well, and (dare I admit?!) we ate them for breakfast last week. Picky boy was all about that! – Mellyn
