baked apples with goat cheese

well hello there…it’s been a while. i missed you.

it’s been a chaotic week. i wish i could tell you it was all good.

i did however loose 5 pounds…but that was due to the raging sinus infection that left me bed ridden for days…days.

ask me if i cooked? nope.

ask me if i thought about food? nope.

and now ask me how i got my mojo back?

baked apples baby.

super easy to make and super easy to bake. that kind of rhymed. don’t worry, i’m not going there. you don’t want me rhyming, it never ends well.

delicious, easy, fragrant and loved by all.

add your favorite spices, replace the goat cheese for creme fraiche. either way, a warm delish dessert that will make you happy and hopefully bring your mojo back too.

happy monday!
