Shop Etsy's Big Fall Sale

Amazon is not the only one having a big sale today. (my picks of that sale will be shared tomorrow.) Etsy is offering $10 off  $40 orders with Code: YES10. It feels good to support small businesses, especially when the artisans are so talented. Scroll down for some of my favorite shops for jewelry, gifts, stationery, and home decor.

A Thing Created

A wonderful Etsy shop! I love it for gifts. You will find watercolor stationery, gift wrap, pillows, notebooks and more.  It's all made and personalized to order. It's fresh, feminine, and a touch fancy for the modern girl.

KLB Living Designs

Shop owner, Katina Brown brings the drama with her statement making earrings! Many are created with fabulous leather feathers. You will also find beaded bracelets. It's all more than affordable. Katina would be happy to design something just for you.

The John Legend Etsy Collab

Planing a wedding? If so, you need to head to Olivia Kate Couture. I can't imagine a more fabulous collection. They are made to order and shipped from central Florida.

SJ Letter Company

The artist and  shop owner, Irene,  creates her magic in Broomfield, Colorado. Her hand painted acrylic signs, table numbers, seating charts, and more are amazing additions to any special party or wedding. Irene not only enjoys sharing her talents, she loves working with event planners, brides, moms, and all involved. It's all so special.

Whimsy Beadworks

One of the best things about Etsy is that you can get to know the shop owners. They are real people that hand craft their products. Shelby and Kyra of this jewelry shop, take so much pride in their work. They are simply delightful, and specialize in unique and custom designs. Their prices are more than fair and affordable. I highly recommend this shop!

Foodie Friday: Spotlight On Apples

Apple picking season in The Hudson Valley comes to an end at the end of this month. So it's time to get picking or at least visiting your Farmer's Market for some fresh apples. Here's inspiration for what to do with them. Enjoy!

Fall Fruit Baked Goat & Brie En Croute
An impressive and fabulous fall appetizer.Easy to make and delicious, too! This is a crowd pleasing dish.

Simply Beautiful Eating

Smoky Harvest Apple Cider Margarita

Fall in a glass. The drink is rimmed in salty cinnamon sugar. How clever! It's made with smoky Mezcal, which makes a really special margarita. Oh and there is maple syrup involved. The smoke effect comes from lighting a cinnamon stick on fire!

Half Baked Harvest 

Tart Tatin

This is for Sara, who loves this dish. It is a beautiful way to eat apples. It begins with "made from scratch" puff pastry. I would be tempted to use the frozen sheets, however. Yum!

Food Network

Savory Apple Thyme Tart
Oh this just sounds so fabulous for fall! Slice it up for an amazing appetizer. Or serve it with a side salad as lunch or dinner. I can just imagine how it smells as it is baking.

Le Petite Eats

Apple Cake With Toffee Crust

This recipe had me at the word toffee. I make homemade caramel sauce often, but never have tried toffee sauce. Looks easy, and you can tell by looking at the cake that it is moist.

Food and Wine

Caramelized Onion Apple Mac and Cheese

Panko bread crumbs, and finishing this dish in the oven makes it extra crispy. One of the cheeses used in this recipe is Gouda, which is a must in my kitchen! This really sounds divine!

Olive and Mango

Apple Cream Cheese Bundt Cake

I am not normally a fan of bundt cake - not enough frosting! But between the praline frosting and the cream cheese filling in this case, I think my sweet tooth will be happy.

Southern Living

Waldorf Salad
This version of the classic salad your Mom or Grandma made is bursting with fresh flavor and fruit. What make it different is using Greek Yogurt instead of mayonnaise. There is a bright freshness to the dressing with hints of lemon and corriander.  Worth a try!
Feasting at Home

Salted Apple Fritters

See that apple above? It's a Honeycrisp and they are simply the best at this time of year. One of the things I miss the most about leaving Chicago, is the apple fritters at Stan's Donuts. And I mean I really miss them. These fritters promise to be sweet and salty with a crispy exterior, but soft and gooey on the inside. I may faint.

How Sweet Eats

Apple, Sage, and Prosciutto Stuffed Pork Loin

Oh what a main dish! I do believe that my fave fall flavor is sage. I can almost smell this roast cooking. There is spinach involved in the recipe too, and of course a bit of garlic. Wow!

Delish

Caramel Apple Dip

The base of this dip is slightly sweetened cream cheese. Then it is layered with homemade caramel sauce and toffee bits. This will be a hit at your next tailgate or cocktail party. Serve it with apples, pears, graham crackers  and more!

Dinner At The Zoo

Apple, Caramelized Onion and Spinach Quesadilla

This is a great party appetizer with all the flavors of fall. It's made with fontina cheese, because it melts so well.vLooks fun to serve and eat!

The Modern Proper

Favorite Apple Pie Recipe

I chose to feature the slice of this pie instead of a whole pie picture. Why? Because it is just the right color on the inside. If your pie doesn't look like this, you don't have enough cinnamon and nutmeg in it. A touch of lemon is crucial, too. It keeps the flavors bright and the apples true to color. Perfection!

Sally's Baking Addiction

Caramelized Onion and Apple Tarts
If you want to serve something as French as can be, this is it. It's a sophisticated appetizer that is easy to make but impressive to the taste buds. The Gruyère cheese elevates each bite.
