After continuously hearing from Brooke how her and her sister cook dinner all the time, Jeff and I finally got an invite! Here are some pictures from our night of great food and even greatER company:
I apologize for the weirdness of the picture above...I still had a weird setting on my camera...but these are the amazing ladies that fixed us dinner :)
Homemade hummus!
mmmmMmmm! Everything was delicious, but I think we all got second helpings of the green bean casserole....
And what's dinner without dessert?! -->
Brooke made an AMAZING apple crisp, which she said was pretty simple to make.
In case anyone wants to try to make the apple crisp at home:
Prep time: 30 minutes
Bake: 30 minutes
Oven: 375
Makes: 6 servings
Ingredients:
5 cups sliced, peeled cooking apples
2 to 4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 cup regular rolled oats
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 cup butter or margarine
Vanilla ice cream (optional)
1) Preheat oven to 375. Place fruit in a 2-quart square baking dish. Stir in sugar.
2) For topping, in a medium bowl combine the oats, brown sugar, flour, and nutmeg. Cut in butter until mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle topping over filling. NOTE: Brooke said she would have doubled the topping recipe because it wasn't enough. Proceed at your own risk!
3) Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until fruit is tender and topping is golden. Cool slightly. If desired, serve warm with ice cream.
