baked apples crock pot style

Ever since I pinned this beaut, I've been wanting to give these guys a try and last night's rainy weather proved to be the best time. I and every other member of my family has a huge affinity with everything apple pie. So I couldn't wait to try a spin off of the same tasty treat. I followed this recipe and despite my crock pot being on super power and cooking them a bit too long, they still tasted pretty delish with the customary scoop of vanilla ice cream. 

three things: easter edition

Happy (good & earth day) friday! That means that easter is just around the corner and it has been a favorite holiday of mine for quite some time, mostly because when I was a kid, it was my grandma's favorite and she made it so fun for us grands. She would make each of us a basket with the best candy and goodies and hide it in her huge house and it was up to us to find it! To this day I still try to carry on her tradition in making easter baskets. Here are a three fun ideas of things to add to your baskets...
