Jolene's Recipe Journal

Very happy to be joining the Muffin Monday bakers again this month! I had some leftover buttermilk from another recipe so I searched the Taste of Home site and found Robert L's Buttermilk Oatmeal Muffins. 

Fall brings some of the best flavors of the year: pumpkin, apples, pears, squash, cranberries, and warm spices. Whether you're planning a family dinner, baking for a get-together, or trying something new with seasonal produce, these 25 recipes are my favorites.

  This Pear Crisp Ice Cream  combines soft cinnamon-spiced pears with creamy vanilla ice cream and graham oat crumbs. 

  One thing I really like about doing events like #FallFlavors Week is that it forces me to be creative.  I receive product samples from sponsor companies to aid in the creation of my recipes but all opinions are my own, of course! Republic of Tea sent us a tin of their Hot Apple Cider variety.  While I sat enjoying a cup, I thought about recipes I've seen that use tea that I could possibly do a version of.  I thought about macarons, but then it hit me, madeleines!

This Apple Cranberry Pecan Overnight Oats recipe is layered with oats, cinnamon, chia seeds, apples, cranberries and toasted pecans. It’s a simple make-ahead breakfast for busy mornings.

Quinoa has been one of my go-to side dishes for a few years now and I'm always looking for new ways to serve it up.  I found Cindy R's Quinoa and Black Bean Stuffed Peppers on the Taste of Home site. 

September is #WholeGrainsMonth and I'm celebrating with one of my favorites, quinoa!
