The days are definitely getting shorter. Nothing enforces getting off your horse or out of the garden like night fall. The past few weeks I have been wondering around my house in the evening thinking WHAT on earth am I going to do all winter long after kids are tucked in for the night? I wish it would stay warm and light enough to be outside but the inevitable is happening and the "s" word is on its way. I won't say it out loud yet! I won't do it!
So guess what I did this week at night after kids went to bed?! BAKING! I tried two recipes that I will share with you below! WHY? Because they turned out AWESOME! I think we all won't have to much trouble fattening up for the long winter ahead at this rate;)
The first recipe is Chocolate Chip Sour Cream Muffins...YUM! I added milk to the batter because it wasn't quite sticky gooey enough (maybe I didn't measure my flour perfect). Here is the link which I found on Pinterest(my other night time filler and new found love!)

The second recipe is Apple Crisp. I'm not a huge lover of apple crisp. I think because I have never perfected it. I find it always to mushy, too sweet...too something. BUT THIS RECIPE!!!! Its PERFECT! I loved it! YOU MUST TRY! Here is the link (thank you Natalie B for sharing your find!!!) And at this time of year, when I have 3, 5 gallon pails of apples from my sweet 80 year old neighbor to use up, it worked out just right and it's a generous size! Bake it until its getting brown and crunchy on top and you must add your favorite vanilla icecream! YUM!
