Fourteen for Fall

Today I came up with a fun idea! As you all know, I read many, many food blogs. I always see the various cooks/bakers/chefs challenging themselves with different things, ex. Tuesdays with Dorie. I don't feel I'm quite up to those challenges yet, but this morning I thought of my own personal challenge. There are so many fall recipes I'm wanting to try, I decided that I am going to challenge myself to make one new fall recipe each week of the season!! Now, there are only 13 weeks of Autumn, but I figured I could try to fit one extra in there at some point--you know, provide myself with more of a challenge. I'm thinking this will be very exciting and push myself to make these things instead of just saving them all up!

I will plan to debut a new recipe each Thursday, starting this Thursday, September 23rd since it's the first, full, official day of Autumn! Are you getting excited? I am! Does anyone want to join me? Sister? Mom? Just a shout-out, let me know what you think... you could even do like every other week or something!

One thing I have learned from the blogs is that you don't always have to make the full recipe. So I'll probably cut some of the recipes in half. Plus, I'll plan on bringing some to work for people to evaluate as well.

I tried my hand at Pioneer Woman's Flat Apple Pie this weekend and it was wonderfully delicious! (I'll try to post a picture soon--although the picture isn't great). The pie crust was flaky and awesome. Will most likely be my permanent pie crust recipe! Regardless, I think I'm going to start off my Fourteen for Fall challenge with Easy Caramel Apple Cake. Come back on Thursday to see how it turns out!

To Life... full of new challenges!
