Yum's Gorgonzola Green Apple Mac n Cheese
I made Yum's insanely good mac 'n' cheese recipe in some ramekins my mother in law gave me for creme brulee. The little tart-size dishes made the meal extra cute, and I substituted bacon for walnuts for extra yumminess. The combo of sharp gorgonzola, crisp apples and rich bacon was so good, literally one of the most delish things I've ever tasted, and I never would have thought of it on my own.

Cheesy Spinach and Artichoke Risotto -- with (a little) Beer!
This dish was inspired by my favorite appetizer, spinach and artichoke dip. Since it is based on bar food, it only seems right to season it with beer. The alcohol cooks off, and the remaining taste is slightly sweet, a perfect complement to the sharp cheese flavors.

Apple Crisp: for those too lazy to make a proper pie crust
I made an apple crisp with apples from the aunt and uncle's orchard¹. No huge story today, just a recipe and some photos. Sorry things aren't precise but think of them as guidelines.
