If you remember, I had a rough time picking apples this year. We ended up with a whole lotta’ nothing 🙁 But I sure won’t let that stop me! I still had to make some applesauce, even if it meant using apples we didn’t pick ourselves. I was able to snag some from a local farmer’s…

Gourmet Caramel Apples
Want to hear a sad story? I LOVE apple picking. It’s one of my favorite traditions my little family has started, so I was so excited to go this year. Being in a new (and tiny) town, I had to find a new orchard to go to. As it turns out, the closest pick-your-own orchard…
Baked Apple Chips

Baked Sweet Potato Fries
I think we all know that eating our feelings is a bad thing. But… I still do it. I mean, when your 4 year old, who has beautiful long hair that has never even been trimmed, decides to give herself a haircut, you have to do something to feel better. My kryptonite is a heaping…
