Apples and spice make everything nice! Included are two recipes - Apple Galette for home, and “speed scratch” Apple Pie Squares, featuring Simplot RoastWorks Flame-Roasted Fuji Apples, for your senior living location.

Part 3 - Grilled & Roasted - We already know they taste good in chocolate cake and quick bread, but they are just as good on their own. And so easy to prepare!

Part 2 - Double Chocolate Zucchini Cake - Don’t you just love when a serving of vegetables looks and tastes like this?

Part 1 - Zucchini Bread - the beauty of quick bread!

Grilled pizzas are a great way to feed a crowd on a hot summer afternoon. The ingredients can be grilled ahead and ready to assemble. Try flavors like this BBQ Chicken Pizza with grilled corn, onion, and poblano pepper, then topped with blue cheese and mozzarella. Dinner is served!

Look at the beautiful color of Rhubarb Berry Sauce! Delicious over ice cream and also a great way to sweeten plain yogurt. Then you don’t have to wait until the socially acceptable time to eat dessert!

These little cakes are easy to make and really pack a punch. Mousse-like cake on the top and lemon pudding on the bottom. Super tangy, and super refreshing! Delicious!

Imagine pulling this out of the oven an hour or so after finishing a busy day! These rolls can be made ahead and completely oven ready. Buon appitito!

As I was putting together a neighborhood sweet table I wondered how we could do something similar for our senior living residents. They are lonely, possibly scared, and craving interaction. I imagine a surprise knock on the door with an afternoon treat would make their day! Because staying at home doesn't mean we're not here for each other. Share a sweet, but stay 6 feet!

This dark chocolate fudgy brownie earns the spotlight on Valentine’s Day! The recipe includes measures for a 10” round for home, and a half sheet pan for your senior community.

One spoon, one whisk, two bowls, 10 ingredients, and a skillet. That’s all you need for baking delicious homemade skillet cornbread!

Imagine the reaction from your senior living community when they are presented with this for their Sunday lunch! And the taste is as delightful as the color!

Surprise your guests with a plated Greek salad topped with minted lamb meatballs. Add pita chips, hummus, and yogurt mint sauce to make it a perfect meal!

Biscuit or streusel? Baked or grilled? Fruit desserts are versatile and delicious, especially with ice cream!

This salad is an unlikely combination of ingredients but when you put them all together the taste is spectacular! The way the corn and pistachios combine with the other flavors is what I find so unique and addicting.

In honor of summer rhubarb, and to preserve my campfire lunch memory, my blog kickoff recipe is Norwegian Rhubarb Cake. Minnesotan rhubarb is not yet as big as Alaskan rhubarb which has help from the Midnight Sun.
