An Apple a Day...

Saturday the boys and I headed out west to go apple picking!   The weather was fabulous, the views lovely and the apples delicious.  We had a great time wandering the orchards, chasing after fallen apples and picking a zillion to bring home.  


B ran around like a crazy dog trying to attack every apple he saw fall.  





It was pretty adorable.  



We ended up with a 1/2 bushel and I've already whipped up some applesauce, a gluten-free apple dumpling that needs some more tinkering with and a tasty apple crumble. Yay for Fall!


I wore my new clog booties for the adventure, mostly because the description of the shoe mentions how they're perfect for apple picking.  In truth, I'd have to disagree.  Climbing around a very apple/weeds/rocky hill in heeled clogs was actually rather difficult.  At least they looked cute :)



p.s. We demo'ed some Brussels sprouts the other night with dinner and are tentatively impressed, full dinner post coming soon.

yayyyy apple picking! ps i made a gluten-free pie (my coworker is gluten-free and i wanted to include her!) last week, and it turned out pretty excellent! she recommended king arthur gluten-free flour for baking, but watch out bc it's extra dry (apparently xanthum gum--sp?--helps with the dryness?)
