New England, autumn, apple picking and cider donuts (doughnuts). These things are one combined memory. It’s an every year excursion, and apple cider donuts are always part of it. This year is no different, despite being a year that is so so different!

Breakfast this morning: Sweet Potato, Apple and Sausage Hash, with Fried Eggs! Really easy, really yummy, really filling. And even though it was my delicious breakfast this morning, the hash (minus the fried eggs) would also make a really good side-dish for Thanksgiving. Double duty, or something. 🙂
Breakfast on the go with these *handy* Gravenstein Apple Turnovers. OK, they don’t have to be Gravenstein Apples, any baking apple will do, but I went apple pickin’ recently and picked this type. Convenient breakfast if you’re headed out of the house (not that I personally do that much these days, but you know… if real life were actually real life these days). Very easy and straight forward as it uses store-bought puff pastry.
I’m never sure when something is a “chowder” or when it has become a “stew”. I suspect that it is actually a bit arbitrary, so while I would normally call this a chowder, I’m going with stew this time. Loaded with salmon, jumbo shrimp, lots (!!!) of Maine lobster, plus potatoes, carrots and peas. Yeah, the peas are a little out of the ordinary. Because as Sunday dinner as the temperature begins to cool in Autumn!
I had intended to make rugulach. But then last night, just before I rolled up the rolls here, I found myself uninspired and frankly, a bit lazy. And I couldn’t find my ruler — and if you know me, I can’t cut a straight line if I tried. So, instead, I rolled the rugulach dough into logs, with the jam spread in the inside, and baked these Spiced Peach Swirl Cookies up this morning. Turned out it was a pretty nice compromise.
