Here’s what happened with the September Paint Bucket, beginning with the flavor of the month, apple 🍏 recipes:
Apple Bacon Cheddar Sliders from Will Cook for Smiles reminded me of my Savory Apple Pie Quesadillas
Apple Recipe Round-up of my favorites from the past was featured on Miz Helen’s Country Cottage Full Plate Thursday
Caramel Apple Slab Pie from No Biggie turned into
Salted Caramel Apple Hand Pies
I also made
Artichoke Bread from Closet Cooking turned into Spinach & Artichoke Stuffed Bread
Baked Brie with Fig and Walnuts from the Mediterranean Dish turned into Nutty Naan with Brie, Fig & Prosciutto
Cranberry Broccoli Almond Salad from My Recipes turned into Broccoli Salad with Nuts, Seeds, Berries and Sweet Sesame Dressing
Thai Peanut & Broccoli Stuffed Spaghetti Squash from Connoisseurus Veg turned into Stir Fry Spaghetti Squash with Coconut Chicken Bites
Chicken Cordon Bleu Lasagna from Chef in Training turned into Club Sandwich Lasagna
Peach Puff Pastry Tartlettes from the Creative Life in Between turned into Fruit Pastries with Almond Drizzle
It’s always hard to pick a favorite…we enjoyed them all, but if I had to choose…
My favorite recipe last month was the Fruit Pastries with Almond Cream, so easy to make, perfect for any time of day or occasion, and it can be changed up with a variety of fruit
I will be making this over and over~

Happy October Jenna! I’m ready for all things pumpkin and can hardly wait for Pumpkin Creme Brulee and Pumpkin Pecan Baked Brie! Bring on the butternut squash, cranberry, and maple too! 🎃🍁🍽
Happy October! Oh, it looks so cozy and so delish. And I’m going to love your pumpkin theme! It’s October 1 — I say “hello, pumpkins! Bring it on!”
Pumpkin!!!! I can’t wait to see the brats….I love them especially for football watching parties. They all sound very good, especially the desserts! I love your spooky centerpiece, too. I need to bring out the pumpkins either today or tomorrow!
It is officially pumpkin season!

I am holding you personally responsible for my weight gain!!
I am going to have to remember don’t read your recipes when I am hungry. Now I want one of everything, it’s like going to the grocer when you haven’t eaten. Especially that nutty naan with fig. I have to check that out!
I love pumpkin and the pumpkin pecan caramel bread pudding sounds too fabulous! Looking forward to the brie also.
