Apple-licous! Homemaking Memories in the Kitchen and MORE



Now that we have done a post for fall about serving food inside of pumpkins, now I thought it would also be a good time to have a little inspiration with apples since it is apple picking time and you can get them super cheap. I like these ideas because they can make the ordinary homemaker feel like she has a few tricks up her sleeve to liven up  kitchen and  family meal table.


I really loved this idea, Mr. Fuentes just loves ice cream AND caramel and what a cute way to use up all those extra apples!



Get your best apple cider recipe (or just buy some at the store and heat) and serve it in these pretty apple cups!


Make the kids something fun--instead of regular sandwiches try an apple creation instead!


We can't forget apple dippin',


This grilled apple bacon cheese sandwich is a favorite at our home. We usually like to have it on the first day of fall. It tastes delicious and super simple to make. If you don't have bacon on hand, you can also use bacon bits.


A few days ago my daughter made some homemade pie from apple picking at the orchard. We kept the apple peels and tossed them in cinnamon and sugar and baked them at 350 degrees for 20 minutes No waste and tasted great!

All of the recipe links for the images above can be found over at my Fall Pinterest Board.

Speaking of cooking--DID YOU KNOW that Homestead Blessings came out with a new cookbook?


The Homestead Blessings Cookbook-$20
We loved their DVD series, so was so glad to see they actually have a new cookbook available now!

Also here is a peek of some of the new products in the  Vision Forum store that will be in the 2012 catalog:

Set of 10 CD's--These were fantastic and I highly recommend them!

This looks interesting...especially the one on excellence.

This is definitely for the industrious woman--I would love to get this for my daughters to read through!

You have to see the lineup of toys they have this year for boys--
Oh my!
They must've known that I have FIVE sons.
I think I am going to have to hide my Vision Forum catalog away from them this year!
