Grateful for Comfort Food!

I am grateful for so many things! My gratefulness always bubbles up exponentially as we get closer to Thanksgiving Day and precious family time. But sometimes, especially this time of year, I am most grateful for good old comfort food!

It's chilly outdoors (and getting colder) and I really want to cuddle up under a blanket with some apple cider and eat my way through a myriad of comfort dishes! What's your favorite comfort food? Try one of our faves too!

Apples, Orchards and Harvest Time

With harvest time here and orchards heavy with gorgeous fruit, I thought I'd offer up an apple recipe round-up for those of you who are fond of Big Red (or Big Green). Here in western Idaho, we are blessed to be surrounded by some fabulous apple orchards, as well as other fruit orchards and wineries. Plus with Washington as a next door neighbor, it's really hard to avoid the tangy sweet round goodness in the supermarket.

As an aside: Do you live near an orchard, fruit stand or farmer's market? If so, I highly recommend visiting one of these places to pick up a crate full of crunchy red or green fun and then go home and make something delicious out them! Don't forget to send a juicy snack with your kids to gift their teachers with school starting again. 


Apple Rice Pudding

Apple Pie w/ Candied Crust

Apple Cake w/ Cream Cheese Frosting

Apple Salad


Apple Crisp

And one extra recipe just for fun...

Spiced Applesauce

2 lbs tart cooking apples
1/2 - 2/3 cup sugar
1 tsp lemon juice
1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp nutmeg

Wash, core, and peel apples then cut into quarters. In medium saucepan, bring 1/2 cup water to a boil. Add the apples and return to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer, covered, for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally

Jammin' Fruity Ideas

Do you can? Put up preserves? In my family it's a time-honored tradition to make jams, jellies, preserves, syrups and pie filling with all sorts of fruits. (We can veggies too but that's for another post!) My great grandmother and grandmother taught my mother [and me] to can and preserve and someday I hope to teach my future daughters-in-law how to do it too, if they don't already know how.

Canning is not only a practical way to store up your family's favorite fruits for winter use, but it's also a fun way to connect or re-connect with friends and extended family. There's nothing quite like sweating together over a boiling pot of jam to help bond peeps together. Get some friends or relatives together and save the fruit for later in the form of jams and jellies, using some of our simple free fruity recipes.

Oh and I threw in the blackberry smoothie recipe to help you cool off after a day of canning - enjoy!
