Homemade Apple Crisp!!

I made a Homemade Apple Crisp last night. It turned out delicious. I wanted to share the recipe. Here is the link. I followed the recipe as is... except... it calls for 2 pounds of apples and 2 pounds of pears, I used 4 pounds of apples and no pears. I used Granny Smith Apples. Give it a try!!

I've Been Tagged!!

My friend Nathalie (AuburnChick) from Knitting Help tagged me. Now I must share seven weird and crazy facts about myself. So here goes nothing...



1. When I have to use an alarm to wake up, I check to make sure that it is set right like 10 times before I can go to sleep.


2. When I put the towels in the linen closet, I must have the folded edges facing outward, not the loose edges. I can't stand for the ends to be facing out. It looks messy!!


3. I have to have a white washcloth to wash my face. I can use another color... but it really bugs me!!

4. When I open a new box of cereal, I only tear the bag (inside the box) just a little bit. I hate for it to be torn all the way across.


5. I absolutely HATE for people to chew ice around me. I can't stand it!!

6. I have to sleep on the left side of the bed (when you are looking at it from the foot of the bed). Because I sleep mostly on my right side and that allows me to face the edge of the bed.

7. I cannot get to sleep if the closet door is open. It must be closed.

And now I tag:
Mom (My Family is Loved!)

Holly (HollyP Knits)

Robyn (Knit & Purl Mama)

Amelah (~Ames Her Way~)

Renna (Finding My Knitch)

Nancy (Wyoming Breezes)

Sarah (In Light of the Truth)

Menu Plan Monday

Unfortunately, there will be no MPM for me this week. I had surgery on my left wrist last Wed and I am unable to do anything. I am typing this with my one get hand. Hopefully, we won't starve this week. LOL I will leave you with a couple pictures of my arm.

Menu Plan Monday

This week, I have to have surgery on my arm. YUCK!! I have a cyst in my wrist joint and it has to be removed. Anyway... this is going to be a very easy week, since I will only have one hand to work with. Hubby will have to help, so they have to be easy!! So, please send up some prayers for me. I would really appreciate it!!
