Tasty Tuesday: Autumn arugula salad
OK, I must confess that I did not follow this recipe completely. I don’t like avocados much, and I didn’t have any squash on hand. But I made the rest of this autumn arugula salad from How Sweet Treats and omg, is it amazing! If nothing else, you’ve got to try the dressing. Plus, pomegranates are so cheap right now; Wood Sprite picked out a bunch for fifty cents at Aldi the other day.
Want to make your own apple cider from scratch? This idea from Instructables looks like it would work well.
Skip the usual ghostly lollipop covers this year and make these spooky skeletons and ghosts instead! You can never go wrong with the Crafty Crow; Wood Sprite and I use ideas there every single week.
My family is missing the Apple Butter Festival this year because, frankly, we have things going every single day this week (up to four activities on some days) and we are pooped! But this slow cooker recipe for apple butter from Baked by Rachel makes my mouth water. It looks SO easy, and if you’ve never had apple butter, you are in for a treat! It’s so good just on toast or biscuits but you can really use it for anything, from a ham dressing to an ice cream topping. If you don’t want to commit to a whole batch, just visit Cracker Barrel to try some on biscuits. It’s delicious!
Freebie Finding Mom has a whole bunch of fun toddler lunch ideas. I have to be honest; Wood Sprite and I often have all-fingerfood lunches, or a combination of soup/sandwich/or pasta with some raw vegetables and fruits. We just like to eat that way—and sometimes we are so busy that I don’t have time to make much. So if you are like us, you might use them for the older kids and adults in the house, too!
