Apple Crisp

-
I have quite a few bags of sliced apples in my freezer from last fall. I decided to make apple crisp yesterday.

Slice 6-7 apples. Add 1/2 cups of sugar, 2 Tbsp. flour, 2 tsp. cinnamon, a dash of nutmeg and a 1/4 tsp. of salt. Transfer to 9" x 13" pan.

In a bowl, cut together with a pastry cutter 1 cup rolled oats, 1/2 tsp. salt, 1/2 cup of margarine, and 1 cup of brown sugar.

Sprinkle on top of the apples.

Bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes.

Enjoy!

    Traci,

    I like Empire or Rome apples. They hold up well to freezing and are nice and tart for pies.

    Terri, my husband is a produce manager and I shop ONLY his department! :0) I don't think he carries Empire apples. I know he carries the Romes, but I usually don't buy those. Do you think Fuji or maybe even granny smith would do well, or would they be too tart? Also, do you have to do anything special when you freeze the apples, or just slice and bag? I know after you slice you're supposed to put lemon juice on them to keep them from browning, but didn't know if you have to do that when freezing. And one more thing (sorry!), I don't have a pastry cutter, is that a necessity? Can I do it a different way?

    Aprille, I honestly think any kind of apple would do. I like the tarter and firmer apples because I think they hold up better to the cooking and don't turn to mush. However, use whatever you want.

    I fill a large mixing bowl with cold water and add about 2 tsp. lemon juice. Then I slice enough apples for one pie (about 7-8) and as I'm done peeling and slicing, I add them to the water. Then I take them out of the water and drain them in a colander and then put them in a freezer bag. I squeeze as much air as possible out of the bag.

    Sometimes they do form some ice crystals on top but overall they stay pretty good in the freezer.

Choosing Not to Kick the Cat

The choices we make can either be good or bad. So many don't realize that even our attitudes and feelings are a choice. We have a choice each day to make that day one in which we will react to our circumstances or choose not to react. I can choose to let someone else's bad day ruin mine, or I can choose to not take on someone else's attitude. When Dan and I were first married we worked for a sales organization. I still remember listening to a motivational speaker, Zig Ziglar who was talking about this topic. He gave the scenario of a man being a work and having a boss that was berating him all day long. The man then came home and snapped at his wife. His wife, in turn, yelled at their son for a small infraction because she was upset. The son was now hurt by his mom and pushed his little sister. She, being the youngest, turns around and kicks the cat! Zig talked about making a different choice by not allowing others bad behaviors and moods cause you to respond in the

Oh What to Do; I'm Sixty-Two!

Today is my sixty-second birthday and it's hard to believe I've achieved that....um....seasoned age! My first thought this morning was one of not being sure that I like it. However,  as I thought I about it, I decided to take joy in the fact that I've reached an older age. Because age comes with benefits. Benefit #1 - I'm a bit wiser.   When I look back at some of the decisions I made when I was younger, I cringe. With age has come the ability to slow down and think things through before I make major upheavals in my life. I've also discovered that getting worked up about certain things is just an absolute waste of emotional energy. Benefit #2 - I'm enjoying my life.   As I've aged I've learned all kinds of skills and hobbies and can honestly say that I'm never, ever bored. I love all the different things I'm able to do and it's fun! Benefit #3 - I've learned to appreciate my relationships. With age I've learned to work on developing a

Eating to Live

  Despite the unexpected busyness and interruptions, I have been plugging away at my weight loss as well as writing the plant-based, whole food cookbook. Recipe testing fell by the wayside the past two weeks, but I've still gotten a good chunk of the book done. I also got on the scale this morning for another one pound loss which makes a total of 61 lbs. since I started this journey back in July. It's second nature at this point and I have so much more energy and feel healthy. The only negative is that because I've lost so much weight I'm seeing some sagging, crepe-papery skin happening. Yuck. Some of that is age and I need to figure out some toning exercises. It's definitely a life-style change, but a positive one which I'm so thankful I started on. The pictures above are a small selection of meals I've eaten the past two months and many of those will be included in the book.  This will be a printable e-book as I find that will be the easiest and most cost
