    Apple Walnut Oatmeal Muffins

    Here’s another old recipe that I thought I’d share again since it’s one of the items on my Fall Food Bucket List. I have had a craving for apples and oatmeal lately. I decided to make these Apple Walnut Oatmeal Muffins. These turned out so good and I think they’re my second favorite muffins! Aren’t apples one of the must have, must make fall fruits? I’ll never forget when Rob and I were in Rochester, NY several years ago. It was the end of August, but it was definitely feeling like Fall up in New York. Leaves were just starting…

    Butterscotch Apple Toffee Cookies

    I’ve been wanting to try a pudding mix cookie. When I thought about mixing apples with a butterscotch flavor, I thought there was no better recipe to try it with. Cookies with pudding mix in the batter becoming quite soft and more cake like, so keep that in mind if you decide to do this recipe.

    Caramel-Toffee Apples {Crockpot}

    One of my favorite parts of Fall is getting to enjoy caramel apples, but what would make it even better is not getting caramel all over my face in the process!

    Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce {Crockpot}

    Nothing says fall more than apples! I decided to kick the weekend off with some Homemade Cinnamon Applesauce. For my first time making it, it turned out pretty well. Rob’s Gramma was the first person I ever met who makes her own applesauce. Maybe after a few times of making it, it will be as yummy as hers. Servings: 3-4 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cooking Time: 4 hours

    Whole Wheat Waffles

    This weeks the kids are back to school. Just can’t believe summer is over already. On the first day of school, I usually get up and make the boys breakfast. I’ve decided for tomorrow, I’m going to make the boys waffles, but with a healthy twist. When I’m on one of my healthy eating kicks, I’ll usually just make the normal waffles out of bisquick and I don’t eat one. However, this year I want to try whole wheat. Servings: 4-5 depending on size of waffle iron Prep Time: 5 minutes Cooking Time: 3-5 minutes depending on waffle iron Ingredients:…
