Apple....

   Apple Cinnamon Scones....was going to make them this morning but then I received a text from my sweet husband last night saying to save them because he was making french toast! WHO could resist that? French toast is my FAVORITE breakfast treat!

    I ended up making our homemade syrup. Did you know you can make syrup? At a FRACTION of the cost of store bought? MIND you it isn't the real deal maple stuff that comes from the tree...BUT its tastes WAY better than that popular butter brand~you all know what I am talking about! I started making it because well lets face it, High Fructose Corn Syrup is in that store bought brand, and I wont do it. I am tellin ya that stuff is from the devil himself! I try my very hardest not to buy that stuff so I started making it. The first time I did my husband poo pooed the idea, thinking there was NO WAY it could taste as good. To his surprise he liked it SO much he now lets me know in advance when we will need it! :) The only downfall I have discovered is that homemade syrup does not last. I am afraid you cant make it with all the poison...ahem....preservatives like the store bought kind. You can look up recipes and try them out, but I just add in equal portions of white and brown sugar and a bit o butter and some water enough to make it the consistency we like! I add a dash of maple flavoring after its boiled!

I wonder how freezing the unused portion would work out.

And have you tried crackers? I am going to try making some today. I found a few recipes I like so I am going to give it a whirl.
