On The Blog: Whole Grain Apple Cake (with cinnamon yogurt whipped cream)! We've had a bit of unseasonably cold weather so I broke out the bin of winter gear last weekend and we officially swapped our mudroom from summer to winter. We put away all the swimsuits and pool gear and loaded up our over-the-door organizer with gloves, mittens, hats, and face masks. The kids tried on coats, snow pants, and boots, and we made a list of the few things we need to buy for the season (I already found and purchased 2 needed items on Marketplace!) I've been rocking my super cozy vest all week, and excited to wear winter hats now that I have longer hair! Simple Food. One of my favorite things about Fall is fresh-from-the-orchard apples... especially when I turn those apples into a whole-grain apple cake (with cinnamon yogurt whipped cream). Get the recipe --> Irresistible Whole-Grain Apple Cake Organized Home. As I mentioned above, we organized all our winter gear over the weekend, so we're ready and waiting for the snow to fly (hopefully not too soon though!) If you'd like a little help or motivation to organize your winter gear, I can help! Learn more --> How to organize kids' winter gear. Intentional Living.

I sent out Clara's birth announcement 6 years ago this week (with one of my all-time favorite pictures of the 4 kids on the back). Nora was only 5 when Clara was born -- and yes, the pearls still make me smile every time! 🥰 Last weekend, Meijer had packages of raspberries on sale for $0.50 (regularly $4.99)... and I bought 48 packages! Yup... 48. 😳 I made 2 batches of raspberry jam, a batch of strawberry/raspberry jam, flash-froze a gallon bag for smoothies, made raspberry shortcake, gave several containers away, and let the kids eat as many fresh raspberries as they wanted! We officially closed the pool for the year. Dave swam in it almost daily until the cold spell last week... until next year, pool! I hope you give my apple cake a try soon! Blessings 😊 ~ Andrea |
