Cheesy Olive Beer Bread

There is nothing like walking in the door and smelling homemade bread baking in the oven. I really enjoy baking bread and my family loves it. We have no problem with left overs when it comes to a great loaf of bread. Our Cheesy Olive Beer Bread is a quick bread that doesn't take all day but rather just a few minutes to mix and put into the oven. This recipe is a blend of a olive and cheese board all rolled into a wonderful bread. Just one slice of this bread won't be enough!

Slow Cooker Pepper Jelly Pork Chops, Apples & Onions

We really enjoy the combination of pork, apple & onions, in a recipe. The flavors in this recipe really come together cooking real slow to insure a fabulous dish. Pepper Jelly Pork Chops, Apples & Onions is so easy to put together and can serve a nice family dinner or a crowd. It is just one of those recipes that can be used for any occasion. Coming in the door at the end of the day and smelling this delicious recipe is a special welcome home!

Whats For Dinner Next Week 10-15-17

I am sitting out on the screen porch today, just reflecting on the bounty of the harvest that we have had this year and looking forward to making my meal plan for next week. I have a couple of request from family for some of their favorites so of course we will work that into the meal plan. I am headed to the barn to check out the inventory in the cold bins before I start the meal plan, who knows what I will find to give me inspiration. Hope you are inspired to make a meal plan this week saving time and money for you and your family.

Full Plate Thursday #349

It has been very busy here at the cottage, getting fall cleaning and fall decorating completed. I have had my slow cooker out lately, it just gives me more time to spend outside of the kitchen when the days are so beautiful. I sure am looking forward to all of your beautiful tables and the awesome recipes you bring to share with us every week. We are also enjoying some great food related articles at our party now. I'm ready to get this party started, it is so good to see all of you today!

Caramel Apple Poke Cake

I was going through my recipes the other day and saw this cake recipe that I haven't made in a long time. It is filled with warm spices and so moist it is almost like a pudding cake. This is a very easy recipe to put together and is great to have on hand when your friends are stopping over for cake and coffee after the game. I use fresh apples in this recipe giving it a very rich consistency with the spice cake, caramel and little bites of apple, yes it is delicious!

Slow Cooker Steak Soup

We used to go to a restaurant called the Iron Tender and my favorite thing on the menu was their Steak Soup. After we moved away from that city we really missed their awesome Steak Soup, so I developed my own recipe for Steak Soup which is very close to the one we loved so much. This soup just simmer's all day in the slow cooker giving all the flavors a chance to come together to make this amazing soup. Hope you enjoy this recipe as much as we do!
