Gourmet Caramel Apples~from home :)

Now, granted, the end product is not any where close to the beauty found at specialty gourmet apple shops ~ do they even have such a shop??  But I assure you, from many taste tests, looks are not everything :) The one thing I noticed in the end, when I bit into the decedent, rich, slice smothered messily in Chocolate, Caramel and crushed Candy, my first thought was, 'It didn't fall apart!'  Each bite was just as wonderful of an experience as the first :) 

To Start

Daddy and Maximus unwrap the Caramels for melting :)

Our Motto:  The uglier the better :)

So yummy!

I got the idea from A Little Tipsy's Blog--check it out for the recipe and her more beautiful end result :)

It's a messy undertaking, but for this 7 month pregnant lady, completely worth the effort!

Let me know how yours turn out :)

Octo Tote Giveaway Winner!!!!

A HUGE THANK YOU to all who participated in our First Ever Giveaway!!!  From the response, we will definitely be making this a weekly event--It was so much fun :)

I tried to prove just how legit it was via photo documentation, but alas, we have three very, busy bodies and this was as much proof as we could muster...

Me cutting, Leo crumpling and placing in tote...

Ava Drawing a name, but disapproving  of my handwriting...

So she rewrote it :)  McCall is the WINNER!!!

 Congratulations McCall the Grand Winner!!!  Yay!

Come back and see us Wednesday for our 2nd weekly giveaway!!!!!

Brown Sacking it!

At church this morning we were all given a sack to fill of staple, non-perishable groceries as we hit the market this week.  The sacks will be returned throughout the week and distributed to the Hope Center in San Antonio, TX.   

I love how simple they made it for me to give.  

They gave me a sack with a grocery list of just 10 items to include.  I can now simply add these 10 items to my grocery list, keep this sack of filled goods in the car as I unload and, viola, I'm all set to give back next Sunday.  

As I was thinking about the simplicity and affordability of this "good", a thought came to mind:  Why not do this every time I grocery shop, and make a point to deliver it to a food bank throughout my week?  Or keep in my car ready to give the next panhandler I see--which is many on my route throughout my day...  I'm going to give it a try each time I go to the store from now through Thanksgiving.  

Posted you'll find the grocery list in case it's something you feel the desire to try as well, or better yet--Share another idea!  It's much more exciting of a case study to explore all options :)

Sack of Groceries:

*  Green Beans

*  Canned Tomatoes

*  Macaroni 'n Cheese

*  Canned Vegetables

*  Canned Chili

*  Small bags of Dry Pinto Beans

*  Canned Fruit

*  Peanut Butter and Jelly

*  Small Bags of Rice

*  Pudding Packs

**Any non-perishable food items are welcome!

To simple not to try :)

How will you Branch Out today?

Wishing you Warmth, love and happiness today--and full bellies.
