Making Homemade Apple Butter

We LOVE apple butter in our family...the is absolutely nothing quite as lovely as a piece of "secret toast" smothered in apple butter before heading to bed.

"Secret Toast" is a nod towards one of our favorite movies Nanny McFee, if you haven't seen it check it out..then have some "Secret Toast" for yourself :)

I wish that I could say I came up with this wonderful recipe, but alas it was not me. The wonderful people over at Love and Olive Oil came up with it, and our family will forever be grateful.

There recipe, that can be found here is quick and easy, and tastes simply AMAZING!

Give it a try, snap a picture, have some "Secret Toast" and let me know how you liked it!

Picture Video made by the AWESOME Olivia and can be seen here!

Having to say Goodbye

Saying good bye to someone is never easy, especially if you know that it may be the Last time you may ever see them, hug them, whisper that you Love them. You want to hold on to them forever and never let go......and then you have to leave...with that doubt in your mind, the whispered lies floating through your mind, taking root, that you were not there enough, that you didn't hug, kiss, or say you loved them enough. It's enough to crush you...enough to make you want to hide away from everyone.....even yourself. This is where we are...my Beautiful Mom is on hospice..and I am trying to wrap my head around that word.. Hospice......such a scary word....its the knowledge that the end is near, but never knowing when that final day will come. The past few months we have been making every opportunity to be with her, we knew this was coming, and we were going to make as many memories with her as we could, but there will always be more memories we want to share with her. ...

Bread Baking Adventure

Lets talk about bread...... I have a love/hate relationship with the stuff. I LOVE the taste of it, but I HATE what it does to me. Lately I have been on a search for healthier foods for me and my family, and since my daughter has a milk allergy, I have focusing most of my searches around what she needs the most ( or in this case what she cant have- milk based products) I have come up with a few great milk-less recipes that we love, like this Milk-less Pancake Recipe and this awesome milk-less Muffin base that we use all the time. I love mixing up the add-in ingredients to make different muffins that my daughter can enjoy. In an attempt to know what we are putting in to our bodies, I have started making most of our snacks/meals from scratch...and while it takes a little more time and effort, I think it is worth it in the long run. I LOVE to bake, but I am not that great of a bread maker...I don't even own a bread machine! I can make pumpkin bread and sweet breads.......

Between the Blinks

I blinked….that’s all I did, nothing special……just a blink. And 10 years were GONE! My baby who was so small and helpless is now a beautiful little girl, so curious about the world around her. Wanting to try everything (except food) new! She wants to explore, to help others, to be something great! And all I want her to do, is sit on my lap and let me hold her for just one minute longer, to whisper I love you and hear her sweet voice say it back to me. I want to re-watch every moment of her life…to be able to see her learn to walk, hear her 1 st words again, to just be able to recapture her early years! While I know that what I want is unattainable, I am realizing that it will happen again all too soon. I will blink and she will be graduating high school, learning to drive, finding love, getting married, and having her own family. It’s all just a Blink away! I can’t change it, no matter how hard I try. What I can change is ...
