Pumpkin Spice Biscuits

These biscuits are the bee's knees... 

For real these biscuits were by far the BEST biscuits I've ever made or tasted. No BS. Surprisingly they weren't as difficult to make, sometimes adventuring into scratchmade things I get nervous! They had a beautiful color, super soft, a hint of pumpkin pie spice, and tons of sweet salty flavor! 

Since I was actually hungry and not just creating a recipe I went ahead and made a quick BAE sandwich. For those of you who don't know, the culinary meaning of BAE is bacon and eggs.  

This would be the perfect addition to your Thanksgiving breakfast or brunch!

Here's how I made them!! 

Apple Turnover with Apple Cream Sauce

These little babies were so easy to make, tasted excellent, and only took about 30 minutes to make! It worked out perfectly for an easy meal during the Thanksgivings break. These apple turnovers are not only a crowd pleaser but also a great meal to make with the kiddos!! 

Here's how I made them. 

Apple Pecan Granola

I've failed making granola 9 out 10 times...literally. I either burn it, roast it, make a cajun blackened granola (aka BURNT), or it doesn't have any taste. I really want to start eating Greek yogurt again, but I HAVE to have something crunchy with it. I'm really weird with food textures, especially foods that giggle such as pudding, tapioca, or cottage cheese.  Am I the only person who does that?

I wanted really crunchy hearty tasting granola with nice clusters! The secrets ingredient to crunchy granola is: egg whites! When making this it'll seem really gooey but don't worry it just makes for a crunchier granola in the end. I also added chia seeds for more fiber! 

One thing to look out for when your granola is baking is the color and texture. Your granola WILL NOT get crunchy while baking. Once it's lightly browned take it out to cool completely, once it's hardened you can break into clusters. 

Music City Food and Wine Fest 2015

 

Today I had the pleasure of going to my first food and wine festival ever! Words really can't describe how much fun I had and I got to share it all with my wonderful boyfriend. This event was welcoming from the beginning when we walked in there was an awesome Infiniti display, got the chance to check out some dream cars! Each person was given an cute recyclable bag, a plastic wine glass, and a few Goo Goo Clusters..they were very tasty and I understand the cult following now.

Immediately upon arriving I saw this really awesome Iron Chef and one of the hosts of The Chew, you may have heard of him Michael Symon. So I ate some grilled chicken first, then bought one of his books which I plan on cooking my way through. I waited patiently in line like a giddy child waiting to see Santa, when my time came and I was so nervous. Then I met him, and he decided to talk trash about my 3-0 Bengals, but he was great despite his love for his Cleveland Browns...oops.
