Steppin' Up To The Plate

On your mark...

Get set....

Cook!!!

And we're off;

my sweet friend Denise over at

Gimme Some Suga!

has issued a holiday challenge!

And yes, she is the one I'm always telling to shut it

on The Six of Us.

She understands my brain and that's why I have 

to say that!!

For the record, she doesn't listen anyway - just look at her comments!

Snarky, snarky, snarky! And THAT is why I love her!!

True friends are honest friends!

Anyway, she recently started her food blog 

and we decided to challenge each other

periodically!

I'm about to be schooled. Meh.

People, check out her blog.

Aside from being the real deal,

she makes delish dishes.

She has gluten issues and still manages

to make scrumptious meals!

Her recent posts include:

Schnitzel - Gutes Essen (Good Eats)

GF Chocolate Chip Cookies - Chillin-and Grillin

and 

An amazing scramble - I'm hungry.

Check her out - your tummy will be happy!

So the challenge:

make an American, 4th of July classic,

with a twist.

Ok......insert lots of smack talking here.

Uh-huh, I'm about to be schooled, ya'll.

So I'm thinking, what's more American than

Apple Pie?

thank you, internet

MMMMHHHHHMMMMM.

Oh yes I am.

Apple pie with a twist.....
