o.k., it was a US mail hod, not an official bushel. You get the picture.

Also, an early January warming trend and snow melt, so I rode my bicyle, as did many others. We are one of the top five cities for bicycle popularity. Another bicycle rider told me that today

Oh, I almost forgot!

Putting apples into the crockpot now. Homemade chunky applesauce coming up shortly.

Would love your applesauce recipe, if you care to share.

I'd love to share. Thanks for asking! I got this off the internet. I use whatever apples I have on hand and the only other suggestion I have is ALWAYS use the lemon otherwise it rapidly turns an unappetizing brown.

(you can even use the lemon juice inside a plastic lemon if you don't have a fresh lemon on hand)

I tried to cut and paste it and too much information came along, so click on the link!
ENJOY!!

All this talk of apples and sauce is making me want to make pork chops with apples... Perhaps that will be dinner tonight, I have some in the freezer...

Looks like I am going out for sushi tonight with the girls. I just watched them swim and then soak in a hot tub, while giggle and laugh like little girls. Wish I had them in my life when they were little. Feels like I missed out on so much. Life can be so serious for them..one has so much pressure in High School with SAT prep and AP classes. Then life in general. The other has massive college pressure to deal with. They are great students and beautiful people. It is so nice to watch them cut loose and just play.

One is a vegetarian and the other will eat anything. lol. Going out to dinner with them will be an adventure. Oddly I have been craving Korean bbq with kimchi. Has anyone made Korean bbq beef? A Chef friend gave me a recipe and I need to try it out. Whenever I am near a Korean neighborhood I look for the busy bbq joint. Its a favorite.

Growing up, Sunday's were always big family dinner day. There was no such thing as working or going out with friends. We gathered at my Grandmothers home and we had a big feast. Every Sunday. The meal and the conversations set the tone for the rest of the week. Sort of like how I experience a good sermon at Church. I had high hopes that by now I would be settled with my own family having Sunday dinners together and carrying on that tradition. But plans don't always work out the way that we think they will, and sometimes the universe has an entirely different path for us. When things have ever fallen apart in my life, I always believe that they do, because I need to see the next door that is opening for me. And it always does. That said, I cant be sad about yesterday or today, because I have so much to look forward to, for all of my tomorrows.

I love Korean bbq beef. Okay to break it down : I love Korean and bbq anything. Together it is one of my favorite comfort meals.There are some great food trucks all over Canada that serve wonderful dishes you would never imagine to find outside of a restaurant. My favorite is a Korean bbq beef taco dish. I was planning on using all of the griled protiens done today through this week for quick meals, would you mind sharing your beef recipe with us?

The recipe belongs to a Chef friend and I need to ask her permission to share it on a public site. If it is ok with her I will post it.

Had a few friends over for New Year's eve and decided to try a couple of new appetizers recipes.

The skinny baked coconut shrimp and stuffed bacon and cream cheese mushrooms were a hit. In fact, all the appetizers were quickly gobbled up.

My Pinterest addiction paid off.
