Homemade Cinnamon Latte

Fall is here and many of us love the taste of fall in our morning coffee.  Homemade cinnamon latte gives you the coffee shop flavor for an economical price.  The best part is the taste but I love knowing I’ve saved money. It’s also a healthier version using coconut sugar with low-fat or almond milk.  Make your regular coffee up to double strength for a strong coffee flavor using your favorite blend or beans.

Windowsill Herb Garden

Make a little herb garden and grow fresh herbs on the windowsill through the winter or all year-long.  It’s easy to get started. A sunny windowsill is all you need to bring fresh basil, dill, rosemary, thyme and other herbs to your table.   Keep them happy all season so you can use them for cocktails, cooking, baking and more.  Have an herb garden outside? Move them inside but remember they will be in shock at the move and need to adjust. Move first to part shade. Then inside. Start new plants from plants, cuttings, or seed. Choose your small pots and start them on your window sill.  Individual pots with drainage and a saucer allow you to give the plant individual care. If you want a longer tray, try to use plants with similar growth needs.

Fall Apple Crisp

There is nothing better than the fresh scent of apples in the fall – except the smell of apples baking with cinnamon in a fabulous fall treat.  Today let’s talk apple crisp. You don’t have to make a crust and it only takes a few minutes to whip together a little flour, oatmeal, and sugar to top off your fresh apple slices. You can use a oven-proof bowl for a small deep-dish apple crisp, or even use a loaf pan for a small serving. If a huge crowd is coming over, double it in a sheet cake pan.  That would feed lots of people.

Easy Meatball Soup

I’m a huge soup fan. Start with a great broth, add fresh vegetables and herbs, and enjoy a fast, healthy meal.  Today let’s talk about meat ball soup. For a warm bowl of Italian comfort.  try this soup which is similar to Italian Wedding soup.  I enjoy eating delicious food, but you know I like to keep it healthy.  I’m using extra-lean ground beef with eggs and bread crumbs for my meatballs. The beef has great flavor and less fat. You could also use ground turkey or chicken.  Let the meatballs cook in the broth with pasta or potatoes and you have a tasty meal with crusty whole-grain bread or cheese toast.  I keep the meatballs smaller like 3/4″ to cook faster and to fit into your soup spoon.
