Peanut Butter Cups

Peanut Butter Cups by Julie Reihl

A favorite candy enjoyed by kids and adults alike, made with a touch of class. They are very easy to make for an elegant dinner party or a Halloween party. The chocolate cups can be made ahead and prior to serving, make the peanut butter whipped, assemble and serve. This will yield 12 regular sized cups as shown below.

Crêpes Filled with Savory Sage Sausage and Buttercup Squash

Crêpes Filled with Savory Sage Sausage and Buttercup Squash by Julie Reihl

I love making crêpes because they are great for filling with savory ingredients for a meal or sweet ingredients for a dessert. Plus you can make the batter ahead of time or the crêpes. The filling being used is a savory combination of sage sausage and buttercup squash. Serves 8 – 10 depending on how much filling you put in the crêpes.

Halloumi Cheese Appetizer

Halloumi Cheese Appetizer by Julie Reihl

Halloumi cheese is a Greek grilling cheese and it is unique in nature in that it maintains its shape during the frying or grilling process and doesn’t melt as regular types of cheeses do. It normally is made with a mix of sheep and goat’s milk, but sometimes you can find a brand that has cow’s milk added. The texture is firm and the…

Salmon and Mussels with a Mixed Mushroom Sauce

Salmon and Mussels with a Mixed Mushroom Sauce by Julie Reihl

This sauce is fantastic! All the earthy flavor of mushrooms and rich as well! I chose to put it over salmon and mussels since I was in the mood for both and it was a great pairing. It also goes well over chicken, so if you had extra sauce like I did, I saved it, warmed it up, grilled chicken and poured it over the chicken – see…

Do as I did and let my boys paint pie pumpkins, we enjoyed them as decorations for a few days and then made bars. Most kids think pumpkins are just for decorations so…

Spice Cake with Whipped Cream

Spice Cake with Whipped Cream by Julie Reihl

A perfect fall dessert that will be enjoyed for years to come! Make it different by adding spices to your whipped cream or add raisins other dried fruits or nuts to the cake. Optionally, one could ice the cake with cream cheese frosting. I chose to top it with whipped cream, because the cream cheese frosting overpowered the cake the…

Pork Tenderloin with an Apple Fume Blanc Sauce

Pork Tenderloin with an Apple Fume Blanc Sauce by Julie Reihl

This dish is perfect for a fall dinner party or date night. Fume Blanc or Viognier are perfect wines for cooking and drinking for those that do not like Rieslings. The addition of brown sugar and cinnamon will compensate for the sweetness found in a Riesling. With the ingredients used for the sauce, it will only have a hint of…
