My favorite Envy apples are here! They are only around for a very short time, so I make sure to enjoy them while I can. They have great flavor and super crunchy texture.
Have you had an Envy? They are huge. Like, one pound each. Here’s one next to a large banana:
This photo of an Envy next to a normal sized Gala better shows how big they are.
It is my goal to eat an apple a day in September – and I hope many of them are Envys.
In other news, I have enjoyed many Caesar salads lately.
I am developing a plant based Caesar salad for a project outside of the blog. I have made several variations, including an awesome raw dressing! Good thing I love salads…
More eats from the week -
southwest six layer dip – as dinner. So good, I haven’t used the fire roasted green chiles from Santa Fe in a while… and saying you had dip for dinner? Always good.
…and because fall is upon us, but I am still making ice creams like the calendar says May, we enjoyed chai-spiked pumpkin shakes yesterday. First pumpkin of the season, and it was good.
Lastly – I picked up some of these bars on our Sonoma road trip (yes, I will have recaps soon!). My favorite was the apricot goji energy bar. Delicious!
What are you enjoying this week?

So I thought this was going to be a recipe for apple-chai-Caesar salad. The best part was I thought “that could be good!” LOL!
oooh, that does sound good! oh my and I know how I’m gonna do it… I am, I am! (maybe not caesar… entirely). still give props to you though… need to stock up on the Envy!
Ok so are the apples sweet, tart, perfect combo? I saw some the other day but am so picky about red apples.
I have NEVER heard of these apples! they look scrumptious! I want to hear about these bars you picked up!
that southwest dip needs to be in front of my face.
I know… it’s pretty good, if I can say so…
Mmm, I’m excited for fresh, in-season Pink Lady apples! Those are my favorites, hands down. And they tend to be pretty massive too. Maybe there’s a correlation between size and apple deliciousness?
Dip for dinner, yup, I like how you roll.
hmm, I wonder? it would seem the opposite should be true, right? but I sure love those envys.
I’ve never even heard of Envy apples–and I lived in Michigan, land of apples, for years! (We certainly had plenty of winesaps and other heritagenous strains, though. WINESAPS!) Now I’m going to have to search one out.
oh, I hope you can find some, they really are only around a very short time!
