Hello 2022!!!  I've been eagerly anticipating your arrival - I've got big plans for you 2022. 😆 😉

We chose to usher in this new year full of new beginnings with triple berry pie - of course.  🤣

I'm not really a "New Year's resolution" kind of girl, but this year I've decided that setting more goals for myself is actually one of my goals for 2022.  Does that even make sense?  😅 I've never been shy about using the "I'll start in January" excuse to procrastinate the changing of my bad habits but I've never really taken the opportunity of a new year to clearly define achievable goals for myself either professionally or personally.  And before you start thinking crazy thoughts - bungee jumping in Nepal is NOT one the goals I'm adding to my list for 2022. 🤣🏔

Dedicating more time to recipe development is one of my goals for early 2022.  Like many of the recipes that I post, I found the inspiration for this Apple Blackberry Betty in my Cook's Country magazine and I tweaked it to make it my own.  America's Test Kitchen is the creator of that magazine and they are the master of recipe creation and recording about all the trials along their journey to perfection.  This year, try and keep in mind that my goal is to work on creating new and unique recipes and not reach expert level food scientist status. 👩🏻‍🍳 😬
​
The more time I spend on recipe development - the more appreciation I have for the people that do it well.  A really great recipe doesn't just happen by accident which is exactly why I wanted to share this Apple Blackberry Betty recipe with you.  It's amazing and you know that it's been created and tested with extreme care because it's come from America's Test Kitchen.
