The Spookiest Day of the Year

Well, I supposed we didn't exactly have "spooky" costumes...

but it was still fun to dress up and hang out with some of our old friends.

Happy Halloween!

Apple Love

It’s no myth that fall brings such beauty. Along with the beauty, come apples. A whole other beauty in itself.

Apple season is by far my favorite- it goes hand in hand with baking season, because really, there is no better fruit to bake with.

If I didn’t have work, I very well could have spent each entire day in my kitchen. This is the first year that I have my own kitchen that I know how to use. Last year, after just getting married everything was too new and was not confident in the kitchen to say the least.  

After much experimentation this year, we decided a trip to Apple Hill was in order. And last weekend we got the perfect opportunity when my Dad invited us to go. It was such a beautiful drive, and we couldn’t have asked for better weather. October is the perfect time to go, apple season is at its peak and it’s completely beautiful.  

We camped at Sly Park not far from Apple Hill and enjoyed our last camping trip of the year.

With the apples we bought from Apple Hill (which are quite possibly the best apples you will ever eat in your whole life) I’ve been taking advantage of my somewhat recent boost of confidence in the kitchen.

Apple Sauce

Caramel Apple Jam

Apple Pie Filling

And this is only the beginning of my apple-ing. I guarantee there will be many more treats to come.. This is just a few that I have in mind… 

Happy Fall Apple Season!
