Back To Baking: The Sweet & The Savory

{ Via: Etsy }

Fall's crisp days and longer nights are all the reasons we need to get back to baking. Turn up the heat of your oven, and give one of these sweet or savory recipes a try. A few bakers tools have been added to the mix. Think warm spices, brandied apples, Le Creuset (on sale) quiche and more.

Pumpkin Creme Brulee
Of all the baking I have done over the years, I have never made Creme Brulee. What's wrong with me? It may be because I do not have a torch to toast the sugar topping. Look below where we both can get one.

Creme Brulee Set
I found this to be a great value. You get everything you see. It's all you need to make the above recipe. Or you can just buy the torch HERE for $20 less.

Caramel Apple Cake
Autumn on a plate. This stunning cake is actually said to be very easy to make. It only takes 20 minutes of prep time. The icing on this cake is a heaping serving of brandy apple caramel sauce.

Pumpkin Bread with Cream Cheese Swirl
Well, isn't this a work of art? This five star recipe is baked in the prettiest loaf pan. You can find the pan on sale at Sur La Table. The recipe looks easy enough, but I would double the amount of that cream cheese swirl.



Cook With Color Mixing Bowl Set
A very modern way to mix. Love that these 6 prep bowls come with lids! They come in 20 colors to match the mood of every kitchen. A great buy at $22.99. Most importantly, they are BPA free.

Shortcut Easy Apple Fritters
I have said it before. This household loves an apple fritter, and haven't had a good one since we moved. These look promising using puff pastry. I think we can do this!

Pecan Pie Cheesecake
Nothing is much better than pecan pie to me, except maybe this.  Might want to try it before Thanksgiving.

~ The Savory ~

Savory Monkey Bread
I have always heard of Monkey Bread, but I have never had it or attempted to make it. But thanks to refrigerated biscuits, it looks sinfully easy to make.

Baked Ziti
Just the name of this dish makes me think of The Sopranos. The beauty of this dish is that everyone will love it. It can be adapted any way you wish, add meat or sausage, use only veggies, etc.

Thyme & Cheddar Cheese Cookies
Just what your next Charcuterie or Cheese Board needs! Impress your guests when they ask where you got the crackers. I am going to give these a try.
The Flavor Bender

Spinach & Goat Cheese Quiche with Sweet Potato Crust
{ Gluten Free }
Easy to make and bangn' { the author's words } with flavor. I think that the sweet potato crust is genius and nutritious.

Le Creuset Heritage Pie Dish
Love that the inside of the pan is rich in color, too. Pick a shade to match your kitchen, and don't think twice. I'll take the "oyster" or "flame" On sale at.....
Le Creuset (17 Colors ) or Sur La Table ( 9 Colors )

Caramelized Onion and Apple Tart
Here we have the sweet and the savory. Delicious as a dinner with a salad. I would serve it as a yummy appetizer.
