Dear Pinterest...

Dear Pinterest,

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 pint
1 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.



Crock Pot Apple Butter
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.
