Enjoy the taste of Fall with these Baked Apple Cider Donuts!

Baked apple cider donut cut in half on parchment paper

This is my favorite time of year. The fall crisp air means, scarves, boots, and apple picking! I go apple picking every year and I always have to get an apple cider donut when I am at the orchard. You now can make them in the comfort of your own home with this donut recipe.

These donuts are baked instead of fried and use white whole-wheat flour to incorporate more whole grains. White whole-wheat flour – sounds like a contradiction, right?

What is white whole wheat flour?

“White wheat is a different type of wheat that has no major genes for bran color (unlike traditional “red” wheat which has one to three bran color genes). An easy way to think of it is as a sort of albino wheat. The bran of white wheat is not only lighter in color but it’s also milder in flavor, making whole white wheat more appealing to many people accustomed to the taste of refined flour.

If you don’t have a donut pan, you can always use a muffin tin. Cook time may vary. To check for doneness, insert a toothpick in the center and see if it comes out clean.

Make dinner even easier with sheet pan dinners and I’ve got the perfect one for you to try first! This Sheet Pan Cajun Chicken with Vegetables can easily be customized with flavors you love, using the same cooking process.

September is National Family Meals Month, a nationwide event designed to underscore the benefits of family meals and to challenge us all to share one more meal at home per week with our families.
The busy demands of modern life often come at the expense of family mealtime at home.  Family meals eaten at home have been proven to benefit the health and wellness of children and adolescents.  They have also been shown to fight obesity, substance abuse and to make families stronger—creating a positive impact on our communities and our nation as a whole.
According to a 2013 Harris poll, only 30 percent of American families share dinner every night.

Family meals were a big part of my life growing up. Even with my sisters and I involved in different activities, my family made it a point to get together around the table for family meals.

Regular family meals are linked to the kinds of outcomes that we all want for our children: higher grades and self-esteem, healthier eating habits and weights, and less risky behavior. (source)

When I go home to have family dinner, I soak that feeling in. Since I’ve moved out, I still try and get home for family dinner at least once a week. It’s a time where we all catch up on each other lives over a delicious home cooked meal. There are always lots of laughs. Charlie (our dog) knows exactly when our dad gets up from the table he can slide in for a few bites from my plate.
I’m excited to share family meals with my own family one day.

Sheet pan dinners are easily customizable. Choose a protein and some veggies, plus a seasoning blend you like. For this sheet pan dinner, I tried a Cajun spice blend. I liked the extra little kick it gave the dish and it was delicious on the cauliflower.

The best part about sheet pan dinners – only one pan to clean up! Can’t beat that! Plus, if you have leftovers, pack it for lunch. Looking to mix it up? Try serving over a bed of greens or quinoa.

Why SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend?

These Slow Cooker Thai Meatballs have the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, sweetened with SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend and adds a kick of spice with Thai chili sauce. SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend is made from only 2 non-GMO ingredients: stevia & cane sugar. With 50% Fewer calories than sugar, a 1⁄2 teaspoon of SPLENDA® Naturals Sugar & Stevia Blend gives you the same amount of sweetness as a full teaspoon of traditional sugar. Bonus – it has no bitter aftertaste that you sometimes get with other artificial or alternative sweeteners.

I used to never hit the snooze button, but when I make my breakfast in advance I justify the little extra time I have in the morning to get ready.

This recipe is so easy to make!


I decided to use Wild Blueberries because I love how sweet and tart they are. Any fruit would work with this recipe. Wild Blueberries have twice (2x) the antioxidant capacity of larger, cultivated blueberries.

By posting this recipe I am entering a recipe contest sponsored by Libby’s Fruits & Vegetables and am eligible to win prizes associated with the contest. I was not compensated for my time.
My boyfriend and I created the term “hankering” when we were in the mood for something sweet. At first, it meant chocolate chip cookies, but now it has transformed into any type of dessert. He supports my sweet tooth cravings.
Pear Crisp for Two via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_Kitchen
One of my absolute favorite kinds of desserts is fruit crisps. I love the soft sweet fruit under a sweet crunchy crumble.
When our hankering kicked in, having a can of Libby’s pear halves came in handy. Libby’s wide variety of shelf-stable, conveniently packed, nutritious and delicious fruit and vegetable products, help busy families get fast, wholesome meals on the table without sacrificing flavor or nutrition, but in our case dessert ready in under 15 minutes.

Keeping canned fruits and vegetables come in handy since they are shelf stable. They have saved dinner time and time again.

Pear Crisp for Two via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_Kitchen
According to the Canned Food Alliance, from a nutrition and sensory standpoint, recipes prepared with canned ingredients and those prepared using cooked fresh and/or frozen ingredients rate comparable. Canned fruits and vegetables are packed at their peak of harvest, which means they are packed at their peak nutrient value.

Traveling always inspires me to create my favorite travel eats at home. My recent France trip inspired me to make these Strawberry Lemon Ricotta Filled Crepes.

If you have been following my Instagram stories, you know last week I was traveling all around France with my sisters. Read my travel recap here: Part One & Part Two.

I love traveling because I always become inspired to develop new recipes for my blog. The first thing that I recreated the day after I came home was crepes! We had plenty of delicious crepes throughout our travels through France. The little crepe stands that we ordered crepes from, had their crepe making down to a science.

It was amazing to see how fast and seamless they worked. Their flipping skills are far more superior to mine. You guys know I even struggle with flipping pancakes, so I tend to make waffles instead!

Don’t worry, you don’t need any fancy crepe pans and tools to create delicious crepes in your own kitchen. You’ll just need a large nonstick pan, rubber spatula, and a little patience. It’s best to make the batter the night before and let it rest overnight in the refrigerator, allowing the flour to fully absorb into the liquid and give the gluten a chance to relax.

While it was tempting stuff my crepe with Nutella that I enjoyed in France, I wanted to try something new and a little lighter. The strawberries I picked up from the farmer’s market were perfect, so they definitely had to make an appearance in these crepes.

This recipe idea came to me as I was waiting in line at Starbucks and was looking at the cake pops in the glass case. I wonder who first created the cake pop? It’s such a clever idea, but I always found them way too sweet. Cake plus overload on frosting blended into the cake to make the cake pop shape. I was curious if it would work with yogurt. Guess what – it did! (or I wouldn’t have posted this recipe)

I know my typical dessert combo is chocolate and peanut butter (like here, here, and here), but I also love the chocolate raspberry combination. Okay, let’s be real.. chocolate and anything. Hi my name is Julie and I’m a chocoholic.

Vanilla Espresso Energy Bites via RDelicious Kitchen @RD_KitchenI originally posted this recipe back in 2014 on my travels to Blog Brulee in Vermont. Boy, a lot has changed since that conference. That conference hands down was the most amazing experience and I contribute a lot of my blogging success from that conference. It gave me the confidence to turn my hobby into my business.
One of my biggest goals was to focus on my food photography. When you are sharing a recipe online, it has to look visually appealing. While some of my old recipes taste delicious, they are not very photogenic. I am working on updating old recipes this summer. This is one of my favorite energy bite recipes, but the photo definitely needed an upgrade.
Then vs. Now - Improving Food PhotographyEvery time I take food pictures, I am constantly learning and improving. It is a constant learning process.

Need a little afternoon pick-me-up? These Vanilla Espresso Energy Bites are a perfect energy boosting snack. @RD_Kitchen

If you are a coffee lover, you’ll love the addition of the espresso powder. It will give you that little jolt to power you through the afternoon. Find espresso powder in the coffee aisle of the grocery store.
Make these ahead and enjoy all week (if they even last that long). Just remember to store in the refrigerator, or they dry out and get very crumbly.

Start your morning with this Green Goddess Smoothie Bowl. 
Green Goddess Smoothie BowlI haven’t had the best luck lately. When I was bringing groceries into my apartment, my canvas bag strap broke and the eggs in my bag ended up all over the floor of my kitchen. Back to the store I went because I was shooting a video for my Flourless Peanut Butter Chocolate Muffins that day.

Then, you may have seen on Instagram that I ended up with 3 stitches on my finger this week.
@RDeliciousKitchen InstagramThursday, I was at Living Plate getting ready for a cooking class and washing a mandolin and accidentally sliced my finger. I headed to urgent care while two interns continued to prep for the class. These dietetic interns just started working with me and with my little accident, they saved the day! I got stitched up, headed back and the class was ready to go. The interns were rock stars! The class was ready to go and the class was a success!
Green Goddess Smoothie BowlSo maybe it really wasn’t a bad luck week, more like a clumsy week. Yes, I may have had my kerfuffle moments, but one thing that was consistently great this week, was breakfast. This Green Goddess Smoothie Bowl was enjoyed all week. I’ve been on a total smoothie kick lately and have been making this exact combo daily. I really do enjoy the act of eating smoothie bowls with a spoon. It helps practice mindful eating and you get to enjoy it for so much longer.
After every storm is a rainbow because I am now sitting on Lake Champlain with my bff’s in Vermont for the weekend. Girls weekend!
