Minnesota Apple Crisp
The simplest apple crisp recipe proves that less is more when it comes to apples. I grew up with this recipe, and it never fails to impress. If you have small casserole dishes, you can make individual serving sizes for the kids. I prefer the slightly tart Haralson apple from Minnesota for this recipe. Top with half-and-half, whipped cream, or ice cream.
Pinto Bean Dip
Just like the bean dip you buy in the store but a lot less expensive. The heat can be easily controlled.
Tortellini Minestrone Soup
Good soup for cold day.
