Apple Recipes

Hello everyone! Happy Wednesday! There’s a lot going on in the world and nation right now, from the Election, the pandemic and the holidays approaching, so with that being said, today, we are talking about none of those things and instead we are talking about apple recipes!!! 

Something fun and something new and something you can do this weekend!

Last week I took a trip and went apple picking and for the past week I have been enjoying all the apples and I have been baking a lot too!

Fun day apple picking

Last week, I baked my apple turnovers. They are so easy and tasty, perfect for a dessert, snack or even a sweet breakfast! Here’s the recipe from when I made it in the past.

I then made some oatmeal apple crisp! It was perfect with some cold vanilla ice cream! I love the warm apples, with the oats and crisp topping. 

You can find the recipe here for the one with an oats topping.

If oats is not your thing, you can find an alternative one here.

Lastly, I made a new favorite for the fall! I saw this on Pinterest and I wanted to try it. I love the strong apple taste and the crumb cake like topping, plus they are perfect for a breakfast on the or something sweet after a meal. Here’s therecipe I used from Pinterest.

I have loved all the recipes that I made this past week, but there is nothing that beats a fresh apple. Let me know what recipes you try!! Have a sweet week ahead!

Quarantine Activities

Hey everyone! Another week, closer to the summer and getting through the pandemic. Although, this past weekend was Easter and it was a little different, it was still nice to celebrate the holiday with family and a nice meal all together. These past few weeks have really showed me how important the little things in life are, like being together, going for a drive or spending time with people in our lives.

Now, I don’t know about you but there is only so much house work or projects you can do at home, which is why we have been getting creative with things at home. On my days off, I like to spend it with my brothers or parents, we have been watching movies, playing games, or even taking out some of our favorite childhood activites out to bring back childhood memories. 

So, of you are looking for some fun games/ ideas for the days at home with children, here you go!

  • Games

Break out your old favorite childhood games, play board games you haven’t played in a while, it’s something fun and it gets you away from screens for a while. 

Jenga games
  • Crafts

Bring out your creative side and get crafty, the other day my siblings and I found out favorite childhood crafts and we did something creative while always enjoying some childhood memories.

  • Competitions

My siblings and I range from 21-13, so there’s an age range, competitions are always fun with siblings whether it’s ping pong, foosball, or video games, it’s always good to bring out a friendly competition with siblings.

  • Cooking/Baking

One thing I found myself doing through this time home has been looking to try new recipes, I’ve gone through old cookbooks to find new things to try and make, it changes up your meals and once again you are doing something creative with a good and tasty product. 

These are just a few ideas or helpful hints to help you pass the time while being at home. Netflix and reading are also up there with things to do. (Hello Tiger King!!!)

How are you coping with being at home? What things are you doing to pass the time? Stay strong and stay safe! Sending love and positive vibes!

Getting in the Christmas Spirit

Hey guys! Can you believe that it is Christmas Eve?! December flew by, between wrapping up school, graduation and moving back home, it has been whirlwind. I have been doing my best to cram in all the holiday cheer. Although, it has been busy I have been making time for all the special holiday traditions.

Before I left school, I went to a Christmas lights display with one of my friends and we had the most magical time. From the atmosphere, to the lights, and all the Christmas music, it was a great way to start the holidays.

 I have watched my favorite Christmas movies including Love Actually, Christmas Vacation, and other children’s classic movies. Watching a Christmas movie at the end of the day is a perfect way to enjoy the season.

I have been doing lots of baking, from traditional cookies, to festive ones, and ones that are special recipes. Baking is one of my favorite ways to prepare for Christmas. 

This past weekend, we got our tree and decorated it. It was so special to spend quality family time together. 

I am looking forward to spending the next few days with my family. These past few days have also reminded me that Jesus is the reason for the season, although the red and green and gifts are great, remember the true meaning of Christmas lies with Jesus. 

Wishing you and yours a very Merry Christmas!
