Biscotti

Biscotti are very versatile cookies. With a good base recipe you can make any kind of biscotti you like!  In the cookies I made most recently, I used maple sugar, no almond extract and added pecans instead of cranberries and pistachios.

It's a fairly simple recipe, but makes a delicious batch of cookies!
Give them a try!

Apple Picking

It feels like Autumn! The days are getting shorter and the temperatures cooler. In New York, that means it's time to start thinking about apples and pumpkins. 

Below are a few choices that are available for apple picking in the Buffalo area as well as some farms that have fall produce markets. Most farms may also have other local products available such as jelly, maple syrup or honey.

Remember, if you want to go apple picking, it is important to pay attention to the picking schedules. The farms that offer "u-pick" (you pick your own apples) will have a schedule or chart displaying when each type of apples will be ready. 

Wash your apples before you eat them!
