Figure 2. Saturday evening baking: apple crisp light. I have had a serious craving for a baked apple dessert for the past week. I served this with classic vanilla ice cream and it satisfied my craving without being too decadent.
Figure 3. Sunday night's dinner: grilled tilapia with smoked paprika, Parmesan polenta, and balsamic-glazed green beans and pearl onions.
Yummm I had some apple crisp yesterday and it was SO good! I'm loving apples in everything!
ReplyDeleteThat parmesan polenta looks good! I've been meaning to give polenta a try but for some reason I cant get myself to!
ReplyDeleteit seems a bit intimidating - but it is actually really simple!
DeleteOh my, all three of these look absolutely delicious. I think it is official: I need to go to your place for a weekend. I will take the healthy bacon and pumpkin pasta first please ;)
ReplyDeletehaha! you are welcome anytime!
DeleteHow "pumpkiny" is the pumpkin pasta? I got the boy to agree to try a pumpkin mac and cheese, but I think I want it more cheesy than pumpkiny. If you were me, would you make him this one or look for one with a cheddar sauce?
ReplyDeletei thought it was really pumpkiny, which i loved. but the boyfriend commented that he couldn't taste the pumpkin at all - just the bacon. i'm not sure he knew what he was talking about. this has no cheese (besides cream cheese) so i might suggest trying a cheddar sauce-based one if that is what you are going for.
DeleteOh man, you're really making me regret my decision to not make an apple crisp this weekend. I thought my mom would bake up a dessert for Sunday night dinner, so I didn't bother... but she didn't :( Send me over a piece?
ReplyDeletewhoa that tilapia, I am so amazed at how much you are able to cook and prepare. delicious to say the least!
ReplyDeleteThat pasta looks incredible-- I never would have thought to combine pumpkin with bacon and now I can't get it out of my head!
