Pickle Chicken Salad

I am fairly certain that I will never tire of dill pickles – and that includes recipes that call for an abundance of them. There’s something extra fun about adding salty, sour pickle crunch to salads, dips, pasta, sauces, and more.

Do you love pickles? If so, then Dill Pickle Dip is especially for you. I’ve dipped hundreds of carrot sticks into this deliciousness over the past few years and I like it just as much now as I did the first time I made it.

What is a galette?

The first galette I ever made was peach and I loved it from the first bite. A galette is lighter than a pie, not at all heavy with fruit or overly sweet with sugar. I love this method of baking fruit.

The beauty of a galette is that it doesn’t need to be perfect at all. It’s a simple crust topped with fresh fruit. Fold the sides in to contain the fruit and its juices as it bakes.

Galettes are one of those desserts that we call “rustic” and we get away with making them as messy as we like. No-pressure desserts are my favorite!

Peach Galette

To make this peach galette, you’ll need the following ingredients:

  • fresh peaches
  • flour
  • salt
  • butter
  • sugar
  • cinnamon
  • water

Apple Bread with Brown Sugar Icing [+Video]

Fall comes and I crave all the apple desserts! This apple bread recipe is perfectly spiced and loaded with that warm comforting apple flavor we all love. And it’s the brown sugar icing that will keep you coming back for more!

I have been waiting to make this apple quick bread for years!! There’s something so wonderful about apple anything but the real treat for me is that brown sugar icing.

When I was growing up my Dad would sometimes request a spice cake for his birthday dessert and Mom always threw on a cooked frosting that reminded me of a thick caramel. For some reason the idea of cozy spices and that warm brown sugar icing became a bit nostalgic for me, and while Mom isn’t a huge cooked apple fan, I knew I could make a version that would make her swoon, hence the apple bread with brown sugar icing.

I have included a few tips for success when making this quick bread recipe, so keep scrolling so you don’t miss those!

Recommended Equipment:

Before You Begin…

You’ll want to start by browning the butter you need for this recipe. There’s a section below for how to brown butter. You will use the browned butter in the cake and in the icing, and you will want it ready when you start this recipe. Brown a whole stick of butter, then you will remove 3 tablespoons for the icing and use the rest in bread.

Also, make sure that you have apple butter ready, either homemade or store bought.

What Do I Need to Make This Apple Bread Recipe?

I’m going to divide the ingredients into two groups – ingredients for the bread and ingredients for the icing. Here is what you will need:

For the Bread

  • Flour: just regular all purpose flour is all you need
  • Baking Soda: acts as a leavening agent to give rise and fluffines

Soft and Chewy Pumpkin Pie Cookies [+Video]

Indulge in the flavors of fall with these soft and chewy pumpkin pie cookies topped with a dollop of whipped cream. Perfect for satisfying your pumpkin spice cravings!

I saw a cookie floating around on Instagram that everyone was obsessed with all about pumpkin pie. You use a filling similar in flavor to classic pumpkin pie, but it’s really nothing like a pumpkin pie. After tackling the key lime pie cookie I couldn’t get it out of my head that the best idea ever for those who hate making pie and want something more kid friendly on Thanksgiving was to make a pie cookie. These are to die for!!

Of course that darn Crumbl beat me to it, so now you can make that yummy pumpkin pie Crumbl cookie at home! And to me, our is better….shhhhhh! 🤐

Ingredients and Materials Needed

For this cookie pie recipe, there are two main components and then a couple of optional components. We will start with the cookie base, then while it chills, we will make a pumpkin pie filling. You have the option of rolling the cookie dough in pie crust crumbles (which I HIGHLY recommend) and topping it with whipped cream just like you would a slice of pumpkin pie. It all combines for the perfect pumpkin dessert bite! Here is what you will need:

Cookie Base

  • Butter: Use unsalted butter and you want it softened but not warm
  • Brown Sugar: Adds sweetness and richness of flavor
  • White Sugar: Adds sweetness
  • Egg: Gives the cookie base structure
  • Vanilla: Adds flavor
  • Flour: Just regular all-purpose flour is all you need
  • Cornstarch: Adds chewiness and tenderness to the cookie
  • Baking Powder: Adds rise, fluffiness to the cookie base
  • Baking Soda: Works with the baking powder to leaven the cookie base
  • Salt: Enhances all the other flavors
  • Cinnamon Sugar: Adds flavor to the crumbled pie crust
  • Pie Crust: Rolling the cookie dough in pie crust crumbles gives the cookies that craveable flaky, buttery flavor and texture.

Pumpkin Pie Filling

  • Pumpkin Puree: Make sure you have pumpkin puree and not pumpkin pie filling
  • Maple Syrup: Adds natural sweetness and flavor
  • Sugar: Adds more sweetness
  • Cornstarch: Helps the filling thicken as it bakes
  • Vanilla Extract: Adds flavor
  • Unsalted Butter: Adds flavor and richness
  • Pumpkin Pie Spice: Adds that signature pumpkin pie warmth and flavor

What I’m READING: Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep by Matthew Walker. This book is detailed and scientific throughout and it turned out to be a fascinating read on the importance of sleep.

Takeaway quote from this book: “I was once fond of saying, ‘Sleep is the third pillar of good health, alongside diet and exercise.’ I have changed my tune. Sleep is more than a pillar; it is the foundation on which the other two health bastions sit. Take away the bedrock of sleep, or weaken it just a little, and careful eating or physical exercise become less than effective, as we shall see.”
