Just to tempt your taste buds, I thought I would switch things up a bit. Quilters have to eat, too.

It's errand day and my list is calling. I added "candy" to the list, just in case a couple of costumed goblins show up. If not, the resident mischief maker will have some sweets to snack on. She loves candy corn :)
Happy stitching.
Amish Cinnamon Bread from Redfly....recipe here. I have made this one several times and it is good! I cut the recipe in half when I am in a hurry/ or short on ingredients. Otherwise, the second loaf freezes well once cooled.
From Mennonite Girls Can Cook |
I love the recipes I find at Mennonite Girls Can Cook.....here is one for a stuffed pork loin. I plan on trying this soon---maybe without the sauce, as I picked up a pork loin on sale this week.
Be sure to check out their recipe index while there.....so many things. If you make cinnamon buns, they have an excellent recipe. So good!
I mentioned I made apple bread last week and the house smelled wonderful. I forgot to take photos before putting/ hiding them in the freezer. Sir Old Man can devour a whole loaf in a day! But I thought I would share the recipe. Be forewarned, it takes a while to put together and an hour or so to bake (depending on the size pan you use). The original recipe I found is from 1982 Southern Living cookbook.....Fresh Apples Loaf----we just call it Apple Bread!
4 cups peeled, grated apples
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup sugar
1 cup of brown sugar
- Peel apples.......I like Red Rome apples. Once peeled, I give them a dunk in a lemon and water bath----about 4 C water with 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice until ready to grate. It keeps them from turning brown.
- Grate the apples. I use a large food processor to speed up the process and save my fingers.
- Place grated apples, raisins, and sugar in large bowl. Stir and allow to sit about an hour for the juices to run.
3 C of all purpose flour
2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon cinnamon
- Sift all dry ingredients together.
2 eggs
1 cup butter.....2 sticks, melted
2 teaspoon vanilla
- Once the juices have run from the grated apples, add the dry ingredients. Mix well.
- Add vanilla, butter and eggs. Mix well.
Grease 2 loaf pans----9'' by 5''. Spoon the batter into the pan and bake in preheated oven at 325 degrees for 1 hour and 15 minutes.
If I make smaller size loaves, I check to see if done at 45 minutes for the mini loaf pans, and at 1 hour for the mid-size loaf pan. I use a long wooden skewer to check to see if done....as this recipe is dense and moist. I like Red Rome apples, and I use a food processor for the grating to speed up the process.

How big is your Birds in the Air quilt in the previous post?
That Amish Bread looks wonderful, I went right over and pinned it because I read "with Redfly" which sounds like something I don't want in my bread, LOL. Too early and now I'm hungry.
Wish I could make that bread. Looks really yummy!!
