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/Brunch
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.
The other day, I bought this amazing green (of course) mini-bundt pan from Ten Hands Pottery on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/TenHandsPottery). It arrived late last week and the very first thing I thought was what to make — and came up with this recipe for a Hazelnut Chocolate Red Currant Bundt. It was a riff on my standard pound cake recipe, so I wasn’t sure that it would come out as planned, but it’s delicious. And it photographs well in the lovely pan.
