When the leaves start changing color, I start to think about all of the different ways to enjoy apples. I use to work at an apple orchard and bring home lots of apples for apple pie or apple crisp. This filling is the best apple pie filling I’ve ever had and reminds me of home. It’s a recipe that’s been past down, that’s very simple to make – and most of the ingredients can be found in your home normally. This apple pie filling recipe is also very easy to follow.

Nanny’s Meat and Cheese Raviolis | Recipe
My Nanny, who reads my blog (Hi!) is a huge inspiration to my cooking. She played a big part in cooking when I was a child and instilled a love of food, cooking and baking into my soul. Nanny also has the most awesome tools when it comes to aiding herself in making foods. One of her favorite things to make are raviolis! Currently, I do not have one of her ravioli templates, but she has these big, square, templates that you can press lightly into the dough to mark out where the raviolis will be cut, then you can fill those areas, add another layer of dough, and press down the template again to make loads of perfectly square raviolis at once! Nanny took some pictures of these templates, the newest have been made by my uncle, and wanted me to share her recipes and this invention with you all! Her raviolis are fun to make and simply delicious. In this post, we have both the meat filling and cheese filling recipe.

Pork Schnitzel & Salad (Munchies Guide to Dinner) | Recipe
One Recipe a Week has been continuing strong in our household! This time, we took a look at the Munchies Guide to Dinner. This cookbook is for people who are just learning how to cook. The first few pages talk about properly storing your food and the book itself is mainly basics like roasting a chicken, making your own salad dressing and cooking lasagna. Lots of these recipes are stuff most people know how to do, but we decided to take a look at Pork Schnitzel. This recipe had a goal, like most recipes in the book – specifically to learn how to bread various things. At the start of each recipe in the book, it states what your main takeaway is.

Sloppy Jane (My Drunk Kitchen) | Recipe
Another addition to our Recipe a Week project, this time with My Drunk Kitchen, a Youtube cooking show that has branched out greatly and even produced a couple of cookbooks. We had the original My Drunk Kitchen cookbook, which isn’t actually a cookbook per say. The book is more of an inspirational, cooking adjacent book about the author, Hannah Hart, and what she has learned over the years. Her Youtube videos are pretty similar to this – sort of half recipes that always end in a meaningful way, giving you something to take away from it. With that in mind, we took inspiration from her recipe, which was more like a list of ingredients, and wrote our own out of it.
Garlic, Chili & Herb Focaccia (Book of Bread) | Recipe
Still going with One Recipe a Week project, we have been diving into different cookbooks. For Jupiter’s birthday, fellow blogger Claire bought her the National Trust Book of Bread by Jane Eastoe. This cookbook is all about the art of making bread, complete with beautiful, had drawn and watercolour images of the various breads that you can make. The first few chapters explain differences between raising agents, flours, techniques, tools, terms used when baking bread and more before throwing you into baking. Once you have a bit of an understanding of how to make bread, the book itself is split into different sections; Quick Breads, Basic Breads, Fancy Breads, Regional Breads and then Breads from Around the World.
