#46 & Continuing I swear...

I really am continuing my "ONE NEW RECIPE A WEEK". Although I was getting a little nervous because I almost forgot that I needed to make something new last week. The problem that occurred was that last week we didn't go grocery shopping. Well meat non-existent in our house. But by Thursday night Tim and I knew that Saturday was a day to tailgate and watch some football. And I was in charge of dessert. So I found a recipe on http://www.allrecipes.com which seemed easy enough to make the night before. I had a lot of fun making EASY APPLE CRISP! It turned out delish and I even got some raves from my father-in-law. I promise that I am going to email my friends with the recipe. Here is the recipe http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Easy-Apple-Crisp/Detail.aspx for those of you that may be interested.

This weeks new recipe is Baked Ziti. I am excited because I love anything pasta. I'll let you know how everything turned out next week. Here is that recipe as well...
