Blue is my color but don't care for the misty blue. It looks like it's better suited to a laundry room rather than the kitchen.

I made a round roast. I'll be eating off of it for the next several days.

Thank you Joan. I agree, her recipes look interesting. I enjoy watching her videos too.

You're welcome BakerAunt. I'm sure you'll find recipes you like, I'm happy with the things I've made so far.

When I ran across Jenny on YouTube (Jenny Can Cook) I really didn't know who she was, I thought she was just another youtuber, but I liked the way she was doing stuff. It wasn't until I went to her site and read her bio that I realized who she is.

The apple recipe only calls for 1/4 teaspoon of cinnamon, I used a lot more than that, I didn't measure, I just poured it on. For my taste, it's hard to have to much when it comes to apples. But, I did run out of my good cinnamon and bought a jar of McCormick to tide me over until I put in an order at The Spice House. The McCormick is more mild.

I have used her oil crust several times, it's better than the oil crust I had been using. Her crusts call for equal parts of oil to milk, the crust I had previously used called for 2 to 1 oil to milk.

The apple bars on her site look better than mine, but I think mine look okay.

With a dollop of Greek yogurt.

I baked Apple Pie Bars, recipe from Jenny Jones. I ran across some of her stuff on YouTube. It's very much like apple pie except it's baked in a 8x8 pan and you put a bottom crust in the pan, then the seasoned apple slices and top it with the top crust, no crust coming up the sides. Her recipe calls for an oil crust (no saturated fat), I subbed part of the AP flour with white whole wheat. It came out pretty good, I'll probably make it again.

Yesterday I roasted a chicken that I seasoned with Herbes de Provence. I made a gravy with a little red pepper flakes which really perked it up. Had it with rice.

I'm glad he's back home, I can only imagine how that must make him feel. Keeping the both of you in my prayers and thoughts.

The problem is I didn't have all my ingredients laid out in front of my like I usually do, and didn't double check the recipe.

I put a pork roast on the BBQ. Served it with couscous, asparagus and pumpkin pie.

This morning I made a pumpkin pie. When I served it I realized that I had forgotten to put in the sugar. It's still OK, I'll eat it, maybe dust it with a little powdered sugar.

That looks very interesting, BakerAunt. I'm going to give it a try. My food processor isn't large enough so I will do it with my KA stand mixer. The stand mixer will simply take longer then the food processor.

I made small meatballs (about an ounce each) with brown gravy and had it with rice.

With the weather turning cooler, there's going to be more pizza coming out of my oven. Tonight was pizza with pepperoni, chicken sausage and roasted red peppers.

Yesterday I made a pumpkin pie. I made an oil crust that I found on YouTube. It's a cup and 2/3 of AP, 1/3 cup each of oil and milk and a tablespoon of sugar. It's the best oil crust I've made and was just the right size for my deep dish pie plate. I didn't realize I was almost out of cinnamon, I used up the last of it that I had from KAF. I season my pumpkin pie with cinnamon and vanilla only. It came out great.

Joan, I'm glad to hear you guys are good.
