I love you and I hate you. I love you because you give me SO many ideas of what I want to do with crafts, my home, my hair and makeup, my food, photography cheat sheets and ideas, this list could literally go ON and ON.
I hate you because instead of actually doing these aforementioned things I am looking at more things, adding them to my to do "board".
So, in order to balance this love/hate, I am setting a goal to at the very least complete one pinned item per month - be it a recipe, hair style, kids craft, whatever so as long as I am using it for an inspiration not just a time wasting addiction. Yes, addiction, I have started playing on Pinterest right after Nay goes to bed (around 8:30) and the next time I look at the clock it's like 11:00. Time flies!
So my first project timed out well with when a dear friend called to say she had apples that needed to get out of her tree. I found this recipe at: http://changingmydestiny.wordpress.com/2011/10/08/crockpot-apple-butter/
She has a ton of other fun cooking ideas too.
Crock Pot Apple Butter
Makes a little more than 1 pint1 dozen apples, peeled, cored, cubed
1/2 Cup Water
1/4 Cup Brown Sugar
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon All Spice
Step 1:
Peel, Core, and Chop a dozen apples.
Step 2:
Toss the apples in the sugar and spices.
Step 3:
Put everything in the Crockpot, cook it on Low overnight
Step 4:
It’s optional, but I blended the butter down smooth. You can eat it right out of the Crockpot, Naomi and I did. :)
I froze half of the batch and kept half the batch in the fridge to spread on toast, add to oatmeal, eat from the container. YUM.
