Baking Therapy!

After a trying week and some advice from Facebook... Not to mention some inspiration from Pinterest, I decided to make a batch of applesauce and a loaf of banana bread.

For the applesauce I used:

-2 bags of different local apples, peeled, cored and cubed
-tablespoon of lemon rind or juice
-Cinnamon, nutmeg, and brown sugar to taste

I just threw it all in my crockpot on low until the apples were soft enough to mash. You can also purée these but I like mine with a few chunks.

The banana bread recipe was just something I found on Pinterest and I will have to try it a few more times to fully tweak the recipe before I post it.

I packaged each jar of applesauce with a bow and a tag as gifts for each of our Thanksgiving hosts as well as our neighbours.

Now I am feeling much better and ready to make some other things in my crockpots this week :)
