Applesauce!


I recently purchased a 4lb bag of apples from my local grocery store. They were regularly $4.99 but were reduced 50% because some of them were a little soft and bruised. 
These apples were perfect for applesauce!
 
 
 
All You Need; 
- Crockpot 
- Apples (peeled, cored, & diced)
- 1 tbl of cinnamon 
- 2 tbl of brown sugar 
- 1/2 cup of water 
 

Peel, core, and dice all your apples to approximately the same size. 
Place all apples into your crock pot and pour half a cup of water on top. 
Sprinkle cinnamon and brown sugar on top of apples and stir to combine. 
Cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5-6 hours stirring occasionally. 
I highly recommend leaving the applesauce on your counter to cool some before placing into fridge safe containers. 
 
Enjoy!

Freezing Herbs


I had some leftover rosemary from a recipe and before it went bad I decided to freeze it in olive oil. 
All you need to do is put rosemary into empty ice cube trays and cover it with olive oil. Pop the trays into the freezer and wait for them to completely freeze. Pop them out of the ice cube trays and put them in a freezer safe bag for future use in recipes. 
This can be done with any herb you have on hand! 


Super simple. Super frugal.
