Autumn Caramel Apple Bowls

How about this for an Autumnal Sunday treat? Baked Apple Ice Cream Bowls.

Ingredients: 4 apples (hollowed out) 1 tbsp sugar, 1 tbsp cinnamon, vanilla ice cream, caramel topping.

Directions: Hollow out apples. Mix together sugar and cinnamon and add to inside of apples. Bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. When apples are baked, fill with vanilla ice cream and top with caramel. Nom!

Chopped Autumn Salad

Ingredients
*6 to 8 cups chopped romaine lettuce
*2 medium pears, chopped
*1 cup dried cranberries
*1 cup chopped pecans
*8 slices thick-cut bacon, crisp-cooked and crumbled
*4 to 6 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
*Poppy seed Salad Dressing
*Balsamic Vinaigrette

On a large platter, combine the lettuce, pears, cranberries, pecans, bacon and feta cheese. Drizzle generously with poppy seed dressing, followed by some of the balsamic vinaigrette. (We would estimate that I used about a cup of dressing: 70 percent poppy seed dressing and 30 percent balsamic vinaigrette) If you prefer your salad to have more dressing, feel free to experiment with the combination.
