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. 

It's the first day of fall and what better way to celebrate than sharing some fantastic fall recipes? Check out the season's best flavors like apple, pumpkin, pear, and sweet potato served up in both sweet and savory dishes!

  It's the last day of #FallFlavors Week and I hope you've enjoyed it as much as I have!  I'm wrapping things up with Pear Crisp Ice Cream because even though the calendar may say it's fall, we're still having 85 degree weather. 

  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!

Hands down, fall is my favorite season. There's just something about the leaves changing and the temps dropping that inspires me to get into the kitchen.   This week I'll be joining some foodie friends to celebrate the flavors of fall and I'm kicking it off with Apple Cranberry Pecan Overnight Oats. 

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!
