- Skillet Cinnamon Apples
  
  Posted at 11:08 am by NativeNM, on November 3, 2017
  One of my favorite things is cinnamon apples. The aroma of apples cooking in cinnamon sauce is so fragrant throughout the kitchen. It definitely sets the mood of Fall. I made these as a side dish for the smoked ribs that we had last week. They also make a good dessert with a scoop of ice cream on the side. These were made with Honeycrisp apples and brown sugar but I’ve also tried McIntosh apples and granulated sugar. Joe loves the brown sugar and cinnamon mixture but I like the lighter flavor of granulated sugar. Either way you can’t go wrong!

- Cinnamon Streusel Bread Pudding
  
  Posted at 9:55 am by NativeNM, on October 16, 2017
  If you enjoyed the Cinnamon Streusel Brioch Bread then you will love this bread pudding. It practically melts in your mouth and is topped with a sweet crunchy streusel that adds texture and sweetness to every bite. The recipe is almost the same as the Cinnamon Streusel Brioch Bread except the loaf is baked without the streusel and saved for topping the bread pudding. It is so delicious it could be served as breakfast, brunch or dessert.

- Cherry Fried Pies with a Lemon Glaze
  
  Posted at 10:09 am by NativeNM, on August 4, 2017
  After 6 years, An Inspired Cook is getting a new look. There are now more recipe categories with a photo of each recipe to make it easier to find that perfect recipe and visualize how it might look. I hope you all will come along with me for the next chapter. Here’s one of my favorites . . . fried pies. I have to admit they are my guilty pleasure, there I said it! Honestly I love all pies but I am especially fond of fruit pies. Sweet fried pies which are sometimes referred to as hand pies are filled with any number of fruits and sometimes even cream fillings like chocolate or lemon. For these cherry pies I opted to used frozen cherries over fresh. Frozen cherries break down when cooked and emit the juice that’s needed to make a glossy pie filling that tastes so good in a fried pie. Then there’s the lemon glaze, the oh so yummy icing on the cake . . . um I mean pie!!

- Dark Chocolate Brownies with Sea Salt
  
  Posted at 10:45 am by NativeNM, on July 14, 2017
  I cannot in any way take credit for these brownies. They were created, taste tested and approved from Bakes in Slippers and they are the most delectable brownies I’ve ever made. One of my favorite things about this recipe is that all the ingredients go together in one pot on top of the stove which makes for very little clean up. Best of all is the moist chewy texture and dark chocolaty taste. A sprinkle of sea salt on top just enhances the flavor. Calling all chocolate lovers, you will not want to miss out on these!

- Frozen Pineapple Whip
  
  Posted at 10:03 am by NativeNM, on March 24, 2017
  If you’ve ever been to the Magic Kingdom at Disney World you may have had a Dole Pineapple Whip. It’s one of those things that you won’t find anywhere but at Disney. It’s so refreshing, a slushy whipped frozen pineapple with pineapple juice pooled around the bottom. I took my version a step further and ran it through the ice cream maker to make it more like the texture of a sorbet. Either way it’s delicious!!

- Apple Pie Egg Rolls with Salted Caramel Sauce
  
  Posted at 10:08 am by NativeNM, on October 21, 2016
  Way back in 2011 I posted “Dessert Egg Rolls” which became on of my most popular desserts. I hope these apple pie egg rolls will be a big hit too. I made them individually so they are always hot and crisp. Paired with salted caramel sauce to dip or drizzle over top makes them even more delectable. It’s apple season and you’ll find an abundance of apples to choose from this time of year. My favorite cooked apple pie filling made up approximately 12 egg rolls. Using cooked pie filling allows you to keep any unused filling in the refrigerator and cook the egg rolls up fresh. They are easy to roll and pan fry in just a few minutes. Hope you enjoy these egg rolls as much as we did!

- Skillet Blackberry Bread Pudding with Lemony Whipped Cream
  
  Posted at 9:42 am by NativeNM, on October 6, 2015
  Bread pudding is one of my favorite things on earth. In fact, I’ve never met a bread pudding I didn’t like. I had my boys over for dinner and made this especially for them. They showed up about the time this came out of the oven and as soon as the pictures were taken it was devoured! Normally, I would take the time to make a loaf of brioche myself, but I found this great brioche bread at Sprouts that is so good! If you have a Sprouts store, you must try this bread. It’s already sliced and perfect for french toast and easy to cube for a pan of bread pudding. Adding just a hint of lemon juice to the sweetened whipped cream turned out to be a big hit. Another reason I chose this dessert is because this is my 300th post of An Inspired Cook. I thought this would be the perfect dessert to mark the occasion!

- Praline Pecan Ice Cream
  
  Posted at 8:57 am by NativeNM, on July 3, 2015
  I made this for Joe on Father’s Day and thought it would make a great 4th of July treat as well. It was one of the few things he has ever asked me to make. He was real stingy with his ice cream but when Little Man Z crawled in his lap he found an extra spoon to share. He’s our new kitty and so adorable. You should see the two of them sit together and eat ice cream. This version is really simple and tastes like you went to your favorite ice cream shop. I made up a batch of my homemade vanilla ice cream and added caramel sauce, a little coarse sea salt and praline pecans. Honestly, I think homemade ice cream is key but if making ice cream isn’t your thing, well just go out and pick up 1 1/2 quarts of vanilla ice cream. If you are the ambitious type and want to make everything yourself, I have links to my homemade vanilla ice cream, salted caramel sauce, and vanilla sugar glazed walnuts (just sub in pecans) that will get you the same results.

- Margarita Popsicles with Berries
  
  Posted at 9:01 am by NativeNM, on June 23, 2015
  I don’t know anything better on a hot summer day than a cool slushy popsicle. Making your own popsicles are fun because you can try so many different flavor combinations and add any kind of fruit. In the old days we used to make popsicles with Kool Aid and sometimes add Jello. It was all about keeping it simple, inexpensive, fun to make and fun to eat. I’ve kept those same qualities with these popsicles. I find them to be the most luscious frozen treats that taste like hand held frozen margaritas using only a single can of frozen limeade or lemonade, a few berries and a little pre-made margarita mix. So simple yet so tasty. For a kid friendly version, leave out the alcohol. Kids will love the frozen berries tucked inside their frozen limeade or lemonade.

- Date Bars
  
  Posted at 8:54 am by NativeNM, on December 16, 2014
  It seems like dried fruit is always front and center this time of year. I enjoy most dried fruits but dates aren’t necessarily one of them. However, they are one of Joe’s favorites and he loves date bars so I thought I would give them a try. He described a soft chewy bar with a bottom crust and date filling, topped with a crumbly streusel. They must have turned out pretty good because he grabbed a bar every time he walked by and gave me a thumbs up with a smile!
