I’m totally having fun with this whole fun food for dinner Saturday night. I love seeing my kid’s faces when I put their plate on the table. I love hearing “no way. Great job, Mom.” It makes my entire day! And how could I not make this for Halloween?!?! I’m not sure where I saw […]
For Halloween do you do silly fun or gory? We always do silly fun but I do like a little bit of the gross. So when I saw these cupcakes over on Pinterest (my new love) from Cakehead Loves Evil I knew we had to make them. Totally cool, right?!?! We made stained glass candy […]
I’m not much of a prankster. It’s not that I don’t think they’re funny. I just don’t do them. Well, not a lot at least =o) So for me, April Fools Day isn’t really a big deal. But it’s like I said in my St. Patrick’s Day post, “now that I’m a Mom I have […]
Magic banana? Yep, magic banana. Well, magic banana trick maybe. I guess the banana itself isn’t magic. Or maybe it is. Either way, your kids will think you are magic! Are you ready??? Your going to give your kids bananas and say “abracadabra” and then poof – their banana will be already sliced inside the […]
My Mom called me the other day and asked if I would bring a fruit tray to the family gathering we were having. To me, this was an open invitation for some fruit creativity. I mean, I could have just sliced up some fruit and plopped it on a plate. But really??? That’s not how […]
What do you think of Twinkies? I think people either love them or hate them. I love them. I’m not sure why. If I think about it too long I start to question my love of spongy yellow cake and frosting. So I don’t think about it for too long =o) For awhile, years ago, […]
Here is an easy and fun treat for the kids. They didn’t turn out as cool as I had hoped. I think it was because there was so many bubbles in our 7 Up. But the kids didn’t seem to mind. PrintGummy Bear Popsicles Ingredients7 Up Gummy BearsInstructionsLet your 7 Up sit out for […]
Angry birds seem to be the thing right now. When we were trick or treating there were so many houses that had Angry Bird pumpkins. They were super cool. So when I saw this cute sandwich over on Jill’s blog, Kitchen Fun with My Three Sons, this just seemed like the perfect fun meal. And […]

I haven’t done any canning but I would love to try.
I hate store bought applesauce but I love the homemade stuff. So yum!
We have done a lot of apple sauce this year. There are trees in our neighbourhood that were not being gleaned so we helped ourselves and now we have apple sauce. (And pie!)
I do love homemade applesauce. One year I was bottling applesauce for the 8 of us–no small task. I had 1/2 bushel of ripe pears so I just threw them in with the apples probably 60% apples 40% pears. It was the best stuff ever. The pears added an amazing sweetness and the apples gave it great texture. What ever the combo, it was out of this world. I still think about that wonderful batch.
Hubby and i eat very little applesauce but I do ‘hanging head in shame’ occasionally buy it for the grandkids. I really should make at least one batch. Thanks for the pep talk.
Yum! This looks wonderful!
Found you from the hop!

I made a couple of batches of applesauce over the last few years. Aside from all the peeling and coring, I love it, because it makes the house smell so good. I usually just cook mine in the crockpot though. And I don’t can properly like you have here, just put it into leftover tupperware or containers and freeze it. I love cooking with it, as a substitute for oil in baking recipes. We have apples from an apple festival we went to so I might make some this year, I’m not sure yet.
TOTALLY home made. I won’t eat the store bought stuff at all, only get it for use in recipes. But homemade is divine-no comparison! So with those you can without a water bath, are those OK at room temperature just like the ones boiled in water? I do it your way, letting the heat from whatever I put in there seal it and it always works, but I keep them in the fridge b/c I’m scared I’ve created poison since everyone else boils theirs. Let me know your thoughts!
I learned to make my own because we can’t buy it here. lol 🙂
