Yesterday I was upstairs on the bed with the heating pad on my belly while the kids were reading their books downstairs. Between the quiet, warmth from the heating pad, and the nice breeze from the open window, I fell asleep. Next thing I knew, Joe was on his way out to pick up the pizza we had decided to order for dinner. Talk about a perfect day. It doesn’t take much, really.<\/p>\n
After dinner we shared a piece of pecan caramel apple pie we got at the apple orchard earlier in the day. I’m a bit disappointed in the orchard this year because they fenced off the kids’ play area so they could charge admission. That’s like charging admission to a park. They wanted $4 per person, which included parents who were required to accompany their kids. So it would have cost us $16 for the kids to play on a slide, a hay bale, and in some corn. Isn’t that the most ridiculous thing you’ve ever heard? We only spent about an hour at the orchard. Just enough time for me to get a few photos<\/a>, while the kids picked two 1\/2 pecks worth of apples. We are now proud owners of 10 lbs. of fresh-off-the-tree Gala and Ozark Golds. Joe made apple pancakes today, but we’re going to have to find some more apple recipes so these beauties don’t go to waste.<\/p>\n This sounds good, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n Warm Apple Crisp<\/strong><\/p>\n 5 apples, peeled cored & sliced Arrange apples in a buttered 2 quart casserole. In a separate bowl, mix flour, sugars and cinnamon. Cut in butter dry mixture to make crumbs. Cover apples with crumbs. Bake 1 hour at 350 degrees. Delicious served warm with vanilla ice cream.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday I was upstairs on the bed with the heating pad on my belly while the kids were reading their books downstairs.
