One thing I do love around the holidays is these salty, sweet nuts with just a bit of a kick to them. They’re a little sugary, a little salty, slightly spicy, crunchy and just divine. And Sweet Spicy Slow Cooker Nuts are pretty much addictive.

Here it is, September already, and I’m in full-on denial. Maybe that should be “fall” on denial! I keep seeing little signs of fall, although you wouldn’t know it by the weather. Or the glut of fruits & veggies at the store. The gorgeous Colorado peaches (I think some of the best) inspired this Arugula & Peach Salad with Feta & Bacon.

I think I might have a perfect end of summer meal for you: Grilled Pork Chops with Plum Compote along with Grilled Plums on the side.

Do you ever open up a magazine and want to make everything in it? That’s how I felt about the July/August issue of Midwest Living. I recently whipped up a variation of their Vanilla Orange Cake with Apricots but it was this recipe, this Chocolate Cherry Crisp, that I couldn’t get out of my mind.

I’ve been going nuts over a Midwest Living magazine this summer and you’ll see more recipes inspired from them in the coming days and weeks. This recipe, Orange Apricot Snack Cake, was inspired by their Vanilla Orange Snack Cake and is so much more than it sounds!
