Baked apples with Autumnal spices is one of those comforting dishes that can serve as a side dish, dessert, or even breakfast, depending on how you finish it.
I call these Weekend Crepes because I usually make them on the weekends when I have a little more time to stand at the stove, drinking my tea and swirling crepes, while the rest of the house sleeps.
Oatmeal is one of the grains I use regularly for make ahead meal options.
Cooler weather always means soup to me.
