Apple Picking Field Trip and Cooking with the Family

Well, this morning was spent at one of the many local apple farms. We got a tour and picked almost a full box of apples. We topped the box off with some Gala apples and bought a second box of Gala seconds (slightly bruised). I have just spent the last hour and a half on the internet finding tons of apple recipes. Yum!!! I can't wait till this weekend to cook up those yummy apples. Plan to make applesauce, apple butter, apple cookies, apple crisp, apple bread, apple brownies, apple cake and apple pie in the next week. This should be great!

We are also getting a ten pound box of tomatoes this weekend. Going to make some tomatoe sauce. Our kitchen should smell wonderful and the kiddos are looking forward to helping. Let's hear it for homeschooling fun. Math and science along with Hogwarts Home Economics by making Swamp Goo-a apple recipe sent by owl mail.

We are so grateful that we can make our own food for the next year!
