It's that time of year! I used the apples we picked and made me some apple butter! Here is my post from last year (apple butter post). It includes the recipe and my trials from the apple butter making. This year I happened to have ground cloves, and a food mill, thanks to my friend Kristen. I gave her a jar of apple butter last year, and to ensure she got another one this year she got me a food mill for my birthday! I got one with your name on in Kristen! The food mill was so awesome. I am going to make homemade applesauce and use it and I also want to make gnocchi with it!
Apple Butter: It's a beautiful thing. In last years post I talked about how I loved to can. I was reminded of that once again, with every "ping" as the jars were sealing.
Estelle is also 10 months old today! She is getting big so fast! She loves wrestling with Lane. She crawls all over him. She is really pulling up on everything and likes to get into everything with in reach. She has been getting into cupboards a lot too. Next on the list of items to buy is a baby gate and child safe locks for the cabinets! I don't think we ever had a gate for Lane because we lived in a one story house. We all have so much fun with Miss Estelle. She just started refusing baby food too, so now I need to get creative with the finger foods! She's already got quite the opinion.
