Applesauce is delicious. This is better. My sister is the creator of this. Years ago, she made this for The Progeny. They loved it. They still do. I used to make huge amounts of this and can it in quart jars. The Eldest One used to eat it by the quart, quite literally. Continue reading

‘Tis the time of year for pies and tarts. Autumn…mmmmm! Such good, rich flavors and pears and apples are always a big part of that. Apple pie is a favorite of the men in The Goddess’s life, but she’s sort of partial to a combination of pears and apples. Continue reading

These little bites of apple-pieness are warm, comforting, slightly gooey and entirely too easy not to make often. Apples, bits of crispy, cinnamon-y dough, with just the right amount of gooey-ness..seriously, what’s not to lust after?

We’ve already discussed citrus and how you can use the various types to add flavor.

To that end, we’re going to talk about sage, rosemary and thyme.

I love, love, love cinnamon…okay, it’s out there. I’ve admitted my addiction to it. I love the flavor and the aroma conjures up all sorts of wonderful childhood memories from both my own childhood and the memories I have of when our sons were small. Continue reading
