Welcome to fall 2016! I haven't posted much this year, I know. I've been lazy and was linking the pics only to my Facebook page instead. For the last few months friends and family have been asking me about the blog because they want the recipes too. So we're back!
This weekend was Thanksgiving and the hubster and I spent it with my sister and her family. We went apple picking at a local orchard. The apples were sweet, and abundant.
After picking 22 lbs of apples, I also picked up some fresh apple cider. I can't lie, the ideas have been brewing ever since setting foot in the orchard.
As newly diagnosed diabetics, we've used the last year to learn how to adapt our food to our new dietary needs. The key is moderation in everything and we'll be able to enjoy the food we love! Obviously, our portions will be smaller than what the serving suggests, but at least we get to indulge in this ooey-gooey caramel-y apple deliciousness!
