Home-Made Applesauce

Ahhh, Fall----the time of year when apples are picked and I get to make apple pies, apple sauce, apple crisp and anything else that calls for apples!   Yesterday, the kids and I met up with my father to go apple picking at McDougal's Orchard.  It was cloudy and started to drizzle near the end of our venture, but we picked quite a bit. 

This morning, my daughter and I decided make Home-made Apple Cinnamon Sauce.  Right now the house smells sooooo good!  This is an easy, simple recipe.

It's That Time of Year!

Well, it's that time of year when the weather gets cooler, the leaves change color and it's time for.....CRAFTING!  I'll be doing more crafting as the holidays approach.  I've also been invited to participate in a craft fair to be held in November.  Matter of fact, I need to look into other craft fairs as well.  So, check back and see what I've created!
