Ethan made these during the conference break today.  DE-Licious!

 The only work is chopping up the two apples.  
The pancakes by themselves are delicious as well if you don't want to make the topping.

In small skillet, put:
2 tart apples, chopped into cubes, (peel optional)
2 Tb unsalted butter
1/2 c maple syrup
2 T brown sugar
1 1/2 t cinnamon
1/2 t baking powder (for lighter pancakes, but optional)
Cook over medium heat until apples soften.
Keep warm for serving.

 meanwhile for pancakes-
Mix dry ingredients in small bowl:
1 1/2 c flour
3 t baking powder
1 T honey, or agave, etc. 
1 cinnamon
1 t salt

 Mix wet ingredients in medium bowl:
1 1/4 c milk
1 egg
1 t vanilla
Mix in 3 T cooled butter (so egg won't cook)

Mexetti Squash

So I wanted to use the spaghetti squash but I wasn't in the mood for the usual Italian meatball pseudo-spaghetti. I also wanted something just as quick and easy so I browsed around on the internet and got an idea to use Mexican flavors. Here is what I served everyone tonight so we can remember it. There are no real measurements since every squash is a different size. Cut a spaghetti squash in half and remove the seeds. In a microwaveable dish, place one half skin side down so it can be filled with: cooked, cut up chicken diced Hatch chiles zucchini, chopped finely red bell pepper, chopped finely onion, chopped finely OR onion powder sprinkled on top Sprinkle it all with a little salt, pepper and cumin and shredded Jack, Manchego or other cheese Pour some enchilada sauce over it all.

Pasta al limone

 Basically it's Lemon Spaghetti. I needed a side dish for a friend's seafood lunch and this was perfect. When I served at cousins beach week, it also got rave reviews (and competition for the leftovers) so it's worth sharing here. I found the recipe by Michelle Doll at Delish.com. What I love about this recipe is it is quick and easy but really it's the technique. Its similar to an Alfredo sauce but because of the way you put it together, it is very evenly distributed and doesn't feel heavy. Tastes great with fish and chicken, so far.  Cook  12 oz. spaghetti in generously salted boiling water.  While waiting for the pasta, slice of a couple thin strips from a lemon for garnish (if desired)  Zest  1 lemon into a large sauce pan (the spaghetti will go into it later)  and juice the lemon , setting the juice aside. Add 1/2 c. heavy cream and  4 Tbsp. unsalted butter to the lemon zest   and let it melt over low hea...
