A Dessert for the Fall.

Apple Crisp

This particular recipe is a family heirloom from my adorable wife's family. It originally had oats, but she substitutes for those with Quinoa flakes, and almond slices.

Slice and peel apples and place in the bottom of baking dish. Shake sugar and cinnamon over apples.
Blend
 1/2 cup Mighty Fine Flour.
1/2 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
Add to the blend
3/4 Quinoa, and almond slices.
Cover the apples with the blend.
Bake 350 degrees, for about 40 min, or until golden brown.

We often enjoy this dessert with vanilla ice cream

This dessert is a favorite for special events in the fall including birthdays, anniversaries, remodeling completion, parties, and just because!

Can you make chocolate cake in a blender?

It may seem strange but yes. The best chocolate cake I have eaten in years, perhaps even my whole life is made in a blender!  My adorable wife found a recipe for a Quinoa Chocolate cake in the book Quinoa 365: The Everyday Superfood   It is moist and rich and smooth. 

It is also very good with some vanilla ice cream which compliments the cake quite well. If your a Black Forest fan then put some cherry pie filling on top.
