Monday Morning Review: 15 Apple Recipes Perfect for Fall

October 6, 2014 by Shari Eckstrom 24 Comments

MR1   This past week we picked all of our apples. It was a little earlier than we had planned. It came down to leaving them and letting the Elk have a party or picking them early when they were still a bit tart. Since Tim and I both like tart apples and we wanted a few to enjoy before the Elk ate every last one, we harvested. 

Even with the few that we donated to the elk our three trees will give us plenty of apples to enjoy all year. I will put some in cold storage, make applesauce, freeze apple slices, and make apple pie filling. In honor of harvesting, this week’s review celebrates apples. Here are 15 Apple Recipes Perfect for the Fall Season. …

Monday Morning Review: A Breakfast of Champions

July 28, 2014 by Shari Eckstrom 12 Comments

What a busy time this past week has been. The garden is in full ‘try to keep up with me’ production and I’m thankful I am now at home full time to do just that. I have no idea how I managed before. My hat goes off to those who work full time and keep up with everything else too. I am grateful the hats that I wear are now only a select few.

This week’s review is a  focus on breakfast. While perusing my favorite blogs, the first morning meal posts are what drew me in. Maybe it’s because breakfast is such an important part of the day, but I have a sneaking suspicion it’s because breakfast has always been one of my favorite meals. So much so, I eat breakfast for lunch and dinner too!I hope you enjoy some of my favorites.

Monday Morning Review: Breakfast of Champions   I have sneaked in a few of my own favorite breakfast posts too.  Hey, having your own blog should entitle you to a few special perks. ?

& Great Breakfasts to Get Your Day Started. #breakfast #recipes #wholefood
