(2017) Dutch Apple Pie Cookies

Normally, I’m not a fan of purchased pie crust, and you certainly can make your own. As a matter of fact, this would be a good place for a gluten-free press-in-place crust. (I find gluten-free crusts just don’t roll out well for me.) And if you want the cookie to be gluten-free, of course substitute a gluten-free flour in the streusel.

These make the most adorable little individual apple pies – the recipe’s from lovelylittlekitchen.com.

(2017) Fried Rice with Collards

I can’t be the only one glad to see collards arriving in our boxes. They have truly become a favorite green in my house. No idea where this recipe came from originally. Stem, chop and wash those collards, then steam them in a saucepan, in your microwave or with my new favorite appliance, an electric pressure cooker. Then you’re all set for the rest of this dish. (did I mention that these new electric pressure cookers double as rice cookers as well? love, love, love)

(2017) Scalloped Sweet Potatoes

Totally decadent, but a great way to use the giant sweet potato (at least mine was) in today’s box. From chow.com which adapted it from Southern Living. If yours was as big as mine, cut the potato into quarters before slicing. You want pieces that will fit in a muffin cup. Pretty individual servings. Fancy!
