October is flying by! And, boy, is this time of year busy in my house! For one thing, my husband’s birthday is this weekend, which he will be spending at a kids’ Halloween party. haha. Our little Jude has been invited to a Halloween party that night, so the whole family is going decked out in costumes (or so I hope). Since we are going to the Halloween party on his birthday, Hubby has declared that it is his year to choose the costumes. [Insert roll of the eyes] No way. Everyone knows that it is the wife’s job to pick the costumes. Jude is going to be a spider!!! And since it is such a festive week, I am going to make a spice cake and maybe even a cake with a Halloween motif.
Fun Facts About Apples
Varieties: Oh yum. Where do I start? Granny Smith, Gala, Braeburn, Fuji, Cripps Pink, Red Delicious…Go visit this site for pictures of several varieties.
Selection: Buy in season, buy locally, and don’t be afraid to try a new variety or two. Choose apples without bruising or black spots.
Storage: Put your apples in the refrigerator! Most varieties of apples can be kept in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
A Few Recipes: Book of Yum’s Apple Turnover, GF Cooking School’s Spiced Apple Pancakes, By the Bay’s Apple Raspberry Pie, Gluten a Go Go’s Millet Pilaf and my Apple Crisp.
