Kitchen Buddies!

I love having buddies in the kitchen with me! Today, Bree and Rylan helped me make a fresh Italian sauce puree go with meatballs for lunch. We had beautiful tomatoes, onions, and peppers from Bountiful Baskets, and we used fresh herbs from our garden. Rylan and Bree even plated up the food. They did such a gorgeous job. So proud of my kiddos!

Applesauce!

One of my favorite things about Fall....

Making applesauce! This year our family graduated from pints to quarts :)

We made 16 quarts this weekend!

A 'crispy' sort of day

A cool and crisp Fall day! Aaron's working so the kids and I made mini apple crisps. We used tasty new crop Jonathan apples. So yummy and tart!

Getting ready to bake them!

...and after much anticipation(seriously, there were tears during the LENGTHY 20 minute baking time)....Ta Da!
