I pinned this recipe quite some time ago and put it into my “Fun Food Ideas” board. I mean, seriously, of course I was going to make it. They are adorable! And with the movie Turbo coming out, I figured it was the perfect time to surprise my kids. My son wants to see Turbo badly. […]
Do they look like hot dogs? Of course they do. But are they? Well, sort of. They’re hot dogs, but not the kind you eat for lunch. You eat these hot dogs for dessert! I found the recipe for these over on The Seven Year Cottage. I changed it up just a little bit. They used […]
This is my attempt at making a Thanksgiving cookie. I was planning on making all kinds of cute little turkey cookies but instead I decided to throw myself down the stairs and mess up my ankle. I know. Turkey cookies or the emergency room? Is it a tough choice? Apparently it was for me. I […]
Normally when I look at Sue’s blog I sit back and think “Man, why can’t I do that?!” She is amazing and so talented when it comes to baking and decorating the cutest cookies ever. Then I saw this post and thought “holy smokes, I can do that!” I was so excited! I’m always looking […]
Yep, another Thanksgiving-ish recipe. I told you we were going to rock the Holidays! (If you missed that post, you can check it out here.) And after our delicious Pumpkin Spice Fudge, we needed a kid friendly crafty kind of dessert to make. Can you get any more kid friendly or crafty with these Turkey […]
I can’t believe it’s October 10th and this is only our first Halloween post. Eeeee gads! I’m behind! I need to get my behind in gear and Halloween it up. So, to kick off one of the greatest Holidays known to man…. here are our Sugar Wafer Monsters. If you haven’t checked out Sugar Swings! […]
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 […]
I’ve decided that I’m a little bored with cooking. I make the same basic things for dinners and I’m getting tired of it. Dinner should be fun, right? So that’s our new theme for the summer. Fun food! So we bought a couple of fun kid’s cookbooks. This is the first thing we made – […]

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 🙂
