RECIPE # 4 APPLE CRISP-A-LICIOUS
This particular sweet treat always has me excited and I jumped at the opportunity to make it for you guys. Syliva and I chose different recipes because there are so many ways you can make Apple Crisp. When you feel the need to indulge, make either of these and dont forget the vanilla ice cream to set it over the top!

RECIPE # 3 Fresh Lasagna With Pesto, Yukon Golds & Swiss Chard
From Sylvia's Kitchen:
Hey! Made a delicous Pesto potato and spinach lasagna following the recipe. http://www.sfgate.com/food/recipes/detail.html?p=detail&rid=16602&sorig=qs Made the pasta at home with a super eggy pasta recipe (2 c flour mixed and kneaded with 2 eggs and 6 egg yolks, rested and rolled with hand cranked pasta machine to lasagna thickness, cooked <1mn in salted boiling water to assemble)! Also, precooked wild spinach and charred with onions and garlic. Assembled and cooked for 20mns, to good reviews and deliciousness! *made* extra bc it was a dinner party, but *happened* to have leftovers for tomorrow! The meatless lasagna is a good choice with a light salad (see final pic) and works for weeknight meals as well as fancier dinner parties! Looking forward to more!

Luk Cooking: This recipe was a really great way to work with swiss chard and I never think about using it often. It is so delicious!!! I completely botched this recipe by practically giving this dish a pesto bath and while it still tasted good, this is a perfect example of what not to do while Sylvia clearly had perfection from the start!! Yay Sylvia! I am going to attempt this recipe again and "take 2" photos will be posted soon to show how I corrected the mistakes :o) Note how different my finished result looks. Bleh! It is good to make mistakes however because without failure we can never appreciate when we succeed! Good job Syliva on a great looking dish! On a side note, I added sauteed mushrooms and onions in the mid layer and I felt it added so much to the flavor. I imagine when I do this recipe the way it was intended it will be even better! this was the last layer before copious amounts of cheese was put over the top :o) |

Sylvia and I both did this recipe differently making each dinner unique and giving a different perspective on how so versatile this particular recipe is. You can find the original recipe that we used for chicken rillets at skinnytaste.com.

RECIPE # 1 Pumpkin Cheesecake
Hello Everyone!!! We begin our adventure with a delicious pumpkin cheesecake just in time for the Thanksgiving Holiday! If you would like the recipe you can visit www.joyofbaking.com/pumpkincheesecake.html. Sylvia chose the recipe for this week and I thought it was quite appropriate for the season and it sure makes for a great photo session! This was so much fun to cook and actually pretty easy as far as cheesecakes go. Enjoy!!!
Okay so this recipe was a success!!! My biggest advice about this cheesecake was to definitely put a pan of water in the bottom of the oven with the cheesecake. I had no cracks and it was so moist and creamy. Check back soon because next weeks recipe is coming!!!
