30 Days of Gratitude: Day 19

Thankful for the opportunity and ability to grow and learn more in the kitchen.

So grateful for the women in my life who have so gracefully taught me their ways (and for my husband, because he's a natural).

This fall I bought 40 pounds of apples and they are all gone now thanks to...

• 3 loaves of Apple-Cinnamon Bread
• 2 batches of apple sauce
• 2 apple pies
• 1 apple crisp
• 1 apple/squash dinner dish
• Dozens of smoothies
• Salad toppings
• and countless fresh apples for lunch or a snack

I thought I was over-buying the amount of apples with hopes of making some Apple Butter, but I ended up not having enough since I kept using them for other things!  Maybe next year...  So grateful for this growth. 

And thank the good Lord for delicious Apples!
