Quote of the Day “It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it’s the pebble in your shoe.” Muhammad Ali
The HH made a beef and broccoli dish for dinner last night {that makes 2 Sunday’s in a row of cooking for him!} and well, let’s just say Lucy was staring him down the entire time. That pup, she can be intense I tell you. Especially when food is involved. She will not leave her post until she has secured something tasty.
On the agenda for today:
- Get a crack ton of work done so The Girl and I can go on a mini road trip later this week
- Work on hooked rug pumpkin runner
- Draw out another pumpkin runner {it’s a hot ticket item this year apparently}
- Pick tomatoes and zucchini, stake Brussels sprouts
- Dermatology appointment to get my moles checked {too much information, I know}
- Make some sort of egg dish for dinner. A frittata perhaps?
- Research crab apple recipes {anyone have a good one?}
- Long walk with the Puggle Princess
How about YOU? What’s on your to-do list today?

Hey Mavis,
It’s not really a recipe but with our crab apple pies, we use mostly or all brown sugar, cinnamon, a bit of cornstarch and sometimes I put a bit of butter under the top crust. Honestly, I prefer crab apple pie over regular apple pie. I love the tart flavor especially with ice cream.
Brianna says
I just picked my crab apple tree Friday and froze 7 quarts of cinnamon applesauce. I cut them, boiled them briefly, tossed them into a hand crank food mill for canning, and stirred in a homemade cinnamon simple syrup.
Sandi says
I make reduced-sugar crabapple jam. I don’t have the patience to strain it to make jelly. I add cinnamon and use the low/no sugar Sure-jel pectin. My friend has the tree and she lets me have as much as I can pick! She, of course, gets several jars of jam as a thank you! The tart jam tastes great on artisan bread/toast!
Hazel says
We have a couple of apple trees, one of which is only good for cooking although it’s not specifically a cooking apple, and there are always boxes of apples to help yourself from at the end of peoples drives round here, so I feel a batch of apple pie jam coming on!
