Simple Caramel Apples

Posted by Nancy on September 21st, 2010

It is that time of year again when the apples are so good and juicy. Here in Michigan they are in coming into their peak time and available everywhere.

For the last several years I have gone and purchased delicious Caramel Apples from our local candy maker. They are soooo big and delicious you have to cut them into quarters in order to eat them. They are covered with caramel, chocolate and lots of other goodies. They are so good, and so fattening. I get a sugar rush just thinking about them. They also cost around $7.50 each!

Salted Pumpkin Seeds

Posted by Nancy on October 15th, 2009

Remove seeds from pumpkin and wash off all pulp (you will learn anew the meaning of slippery when doing this).  Place seeds in shallow baking pans.  Half cover the seeds with saltwater (1 teaspoon salt to 1 cup of water).

Place in a 200 degree oven and bake until all water has evaporated and seeds are crisp.  Store in airtight container if they last that long!
