Autumn Apple Entrees

It’s that time again – the leaves are slowly beginning to change colors, the morning air is crisp, and the days are becoming shorter! This is time of year when peaches, cherries, and strawberries fade away and are replaced by pears and apples. With the fall harvest season upon us, there’s no better time to cook with apples.

Beans and Franks

Beans ‘N’ Franks

Can I be frank? July is also National Hot Dog Month, so it just made sense to make July 13th National Beans ‘n’ Franks Day in the U.S.! Also known as “beanie weenies” both dishes are similar to pork ‘n’ beans, but substitute frankfurters or hot dogs for the pork in the baked bean dish that Americans of all ages enjoy! History While the origins of this special day are unknown, it is the perfect excuse to whip up a
