Imitation Post #2..Apple Pie and Oatmeal Butterscotch Toffee Chip Cookies

Mom's Apple Pie

Oatmeal Butterscotch Toffee Chip Cookies

I have been MIA for 5 days or so.. Hectic as all heck because of this. I don't and won't have much time to post my usual shenanigans, so bear with me. I will be posting about food, and commenting as much as I can squeeze in.. but not too many of my antics until all this moving business is put behind my family. Hope you stick with me.

OK, I admit, I havent just been busy with the sale of my home, or the buying of a new home, I also spent some quality time here

It has proven to be a great vacay spot. Unloads you of stress, relaxes your muscles, wonderful sights, food is delicious(ha ha), and once you've been there, it will beCOME a place you'll want to visit again, and again, and again, and again! Multiple times!

This will be my second round of Imitation posts. I will be doing them all week long. If you don't know what Imitation posts are, see my very first one here. Imitation is the most sincere form of flattery, so I hope you wonderful bloggers that I imitated will feel flattered..

Let's begin with The Duo Dishes. I adore these 2.. not only do they have delicious food, they are always so upbeat and cheeryI chose Mom's Apple Pie to make from their blog.

And am I ever glad I did.

It is undeniably delicious and easy peasy to make.

Side note.. don'tcha just LOVE the smell of freshly grated nutmeg?? I love it almost as much as the scent of a good sweaty romp.

I was drawn to it because of the crumb topping,

lattice crust,

and the fact that you could make it with refrigerated pie dough.

A delicious weeknight dessert..

My children loved it,and leftovers sent to the firehouse and were gobbled down.

Please visit them if you haven't. You won't be sorry that you did.

Thanks Duo Dishes for a keeper recipe to add to my file. I will be making it over and over again.

Next I decided to try Oatmeal Butterscotch Toffee Chip Cookies,

which I discovered on Rachel's Blog.

If you are a fan of butterscotch,

these cookies are a must try! Rachel has a lovely, lovely blog.

She has many recipes that call my name.

I made the cookies as she directed but for one change, I only added 1 3/4 cups butterscotch chips (1 pkg).

My husbands co-workers, the fighters of flames, enjoyed these immensely.

Whether or not my family and the firefighters enjoy something determines the "keeper" status of a recipe.

This also earned the title of keeper/repeater and a place in my Recipe Keepsake Binder.

One day Id like to do a post on that also.

This is for you, Duo Dishes and Rachel Vs The Kitchen. Thank you so much for 2 wonderful finds!

Tune in tomorrow for more imitator recipes.
