Another recipe down from the floor pile! It’s the bottom middle picture. That means I have just a few left. Unfortunately, I am not going to be able to make the fried green tomatoes. I closed up shop in the garden and we have no more tomatoes to pillage. Next year!

I volunteered to bring dessert to our weekly Girl’s Night tonight. Last night I was furiously searching the internet for “apple dessert recipes.”
Fortunately Deb at Smitten Kitchen seduced me with her pictures of her Mom’s Apple Cake.
I knew I had to make it!
Another recipe knocked down from my ripped out recipe fall collection!
All I have to say is that this is a whole bowl full of yum. What a great lunch!

The texture of the wilted kale is perfect with the softness of the delicata squash and beans.
I also love the sweet & sourness of the balsamic dressing. It is the main reason why this salad is amazing.
We had a small birthday celebration for Cooper this weekend.
It was primary color & circle themed!

I had a bunch of candy on the table for the adults- The little meringues from Trader Joe’s were a hit!
