an apple a day...

or two, or three...
so I ordered a box of Utah apples, like, FOREVER ago... and even with Eryn Jane eating one to two apples every day I still had a full box... I needed to do something with them. So, for the first time I made applesauce and apple pie filling and I think it turned out pretty good. I'm excited to try them out on pancakes or to make an apple crisp.
I couldn't have done it without my friend Allison. I have to say how lucky I am to have moved next door to such an awesome family. Allison is so nice... quick to help out, quick to lend a hand and some kind words. She always makes my day with a nice comment. Very organized and talented. She's a great example to me of the kind of mom and person I'd like to be. Among all that she is a great cook and has ALL the Gadgets. She's my food storage Guru. I've learned so much from her and thankfully she is selfless and let's me borrow all her cool kitchen stuff.

So, this time, along with borrowing her water bath canner, once again, I borrowed her apple corer, peeler, slicer. It was SOOO much Fun!!! My kids and I had a blast using it! It's on my wish list now!
