Fall Days

TGIF ~!

The beautiful fall weather is upon us and the leaves are ever changing their clothes of green to beautiful reds and oranges. 
Today was a wonderful day for a long awaited birthday visit from my best friend and her daughters. I had the pleasure of making some simple, yet yummy food for the girls. Last week I asked my niece what she would like for me to make her when she came to visit. She said that she wants fried rice. 
I made a simple fried rice with potatoes, onions, and red bell peppers. I also made my version of a Waldorf chicken salad minus the nuts. I figured the girls wouldn't be fond of biting into crunchy walnuts. You can't complete a meal with out dessert~! I made an apple crostata. The buttery, flaky crust with cinnamony apples. It was a perfect ending to the meal. The girls were hesitant to try the apple crostata because it's something they haven't tried before. Once they had a bite, they were hooked~!  The girls finished their piece. I was so glad my girls loved their lunch. It was a wonderful birthday present just to be able to spend time with them. 
Here is a photo of the apple crostata I made today. 
Until next time.
