Slow Cooker Apple Butter
So what started out as a great idea for Christmas presents has turned into a labor of love, but after my 4th batch of doubling the recipe I am becoming quite the apple butter makin’ workhorse! I initially peeled the apples using a potato peeler and then chopped them by hand….needless to say it took quite a while and then I was so sad that I only got 3 and 1/2 jars!! AND THEN…my sweet friend loaned my an apple corer/peeler/chopper and my life changed! I ordered a crate of apples from our local apple guy and went to work! […]
Chocolate Cake
I was searching for a yummy chocolate cake recipe for a friend of mine and came across this on nourishingmeals.com. I was very super tasty although my creation turned out a little lumpy and the icing was grey but hey who cares, right? Here is the link to the cake recipe http://www.nourishingmeals.com/2009/02/gluten-free-vegan-sugar-free-chocolate.html *I did the modification of adding the chia seeds instead of the xanthum gum and it worked great! I didn’t use the frosting recipe included on the post, but instead I made some Cashew Cream Frosting. I thought it worked really well with the cake but the color […]

I used this for the chili and now I know I’m officially spoiled, it was soooooooo…(breath)…soooooooooo….GOOD! Hope you guys enjoy it as well!
