Apple Grunt
"In olden days this pudding was cooked in a Dutch oven hanging over an open fire. The name "Grunt" presumably came from the sound the pudding made as it bubbled and grunted beneath the biscuitlike topping."

What a delicious comfort food! I threw this together while waiting for a casserole to get done for dinner. By the time dinner was eaten and dishes were cleared, our dessert was almost done. I flipped it out onto a dish and we cut pieces off of it and added a dallop of vanilla frozen yogurt! YUMMY! The walnuts make this special...I left mine in pieces instead of chopping and biting into one was a treat. I needed 3 apples and used 1 granny smith and 2 golden delicious. Thanks for posting this VERY unique and yummy dessert. It is great that it can be made right on the stove top! -

Zaar...Wow, what a place! I'm one of the old timers of Zaar. I can't count the number of wonderful dishes I cooked in the past few years since joining. Along the way I have had the pleasure of meeting several Zaar chefs. Talk about your fruits and nuts! lol. I have enjoyed meeting them all.
Family: What's to say...I have had the same sweet husband forever (Good thing....I'd hate to have to break a new one in...=) and live close to a couple of grown children. (Maybe you've met Smoke Alarm Jr. ..her brown rolls are sooo good!) Therefore, my family gets together often to enjoy each other's company and cooking. My greatest joy is six "little to tallerthanme" kids running around calling me Grammy. They wear me out! lol
For the past thirty years I have been a Special Education teacher for grades 9-12 and love it. Took some time off last year to recovery from surgery, chemotherapy and radiation for breast cancer. (Loved the radiation....I keep imagining that we are absolutely napalming the nasty cancer cells tohellandback to keep the little suckers from returning. =) My prognosis is good and now "I'm back in the saddle again". lol. Being a north country "gurl", I am happiest outside...walking, fishing, sitting in front of an outdoor fire or being on water (although in February it's a bit stiff....=0) When indoors I like to read, garden, knit, quilt and paint. During cold Maine weather I like to warm my feet on a very large ( 100 pounds of long legs and huge feet), sweet and furry golden retriever named Kerry (aka KTBRD: Kerry the big red dawg..lol) . In the summer, the dawg and I round up the grandkids, hit the local dairy bar for a Mounds Sundae that is to die for!!!=0) . Then spend a lot of long and lazy summer days at camp . All in all...Boy, Life is good! =)
