| I Just Wanna Know How To Make It |
THERE ARE NO RECIPES
Nana has been making her delicacies for so long she just adds a bag of this and a handful of that. There may be one other small problem. She makes batches like she's doom's day prepping. I only want a few jars for the season. The last time I signed up to learn how to make pickled relish it was an eight day process that produced 30 plus jars of finished product.

| I Want Apple butter! |
Not to mention I still had two large bags of apples that needed to be used and fast. So I googled and pintrest'ed. In the end I opted for a recipe I found on a lovely blog that had one ingredient that cinched it. Cinnamon red hots. Nana's "secret" ingredient.
I remember the little candies would only show up once a year. They magically disappeared and apple butter would appear in it's place. After 18 hours of simmering, I ended up with four glorious jars of my very own Apple Butter.

We were getting pretty low on basic condiments. Still managed to
stay under the mark. Putting the difference away for future restock needs.

It's another rainy weekend but the only baking
I plan on doing is some quicky scones and an
angel food cake. Looks like I might have to
curl up on the couch and read.

I generally plan on Wed when I have 30 minutes before mass chaos begins.
I shop on Fri so our family menus (posted on the fridge) run from Fri to Thur.
How do I keep it all straight without pulling my hair out? I use Pepperplate.
This site/App keeps all my recipes, super easy to upload from other sites,
my shopping list which automatically uploads, my weekly/monthly planner,
AAAND (with best infomercial voice I can muster) So Much More!
(Nope I didn't get paid to say that either.)
