There are apples and then there are Vermont grown apples! I have spent many years picking (and sampling) my way through many of our amazing orchards, leaving with a full belly and plans for pies, apple sauce, chutneys and apple cakes swirling through my head. With more than 150 varieties grown in Vermont there are many flavors, colors, and textures to explore. A Vermont orchard is a foodie’s paradise. With great joy this week, I took my first bite of a delicious Honey Crisp Apple from Champlain Orchards, the first of the season. What a celebration! Our simple recipe for Cinnamon Apples with Maple Syrup makes the perfect after-school snack, dessert or mid-day pick me up.

My food style can best be summed up as “outside the box”, so why not combine my love of squash with my love of all things breakfast! Maple and Spice Spaghetti Squash celebrates all the flavors of my favorite breakfast items in a low-carb, guilt free way! Nutrient rich and a good source of fiber, spaghetti squash has a beautiful yellow interior that is stringy rather than dense in texture. When cooked spaghetti squash will easily pull into strands resembling spaghetti pasta. The neutral flavor, and hearty texture of this squash makes it versatile to use and a great addition to your menus'. Looking for one less dish to clean?... No need to transfer to a dish, the exterior shell makes a great bowl! Maple & Spice Spaghetti Squash may also be served as a side dish, and pairs great with chicken and pork.
