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~

  2. 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!”

  3. 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!
