Yum..

What a wonderful thread. I, too, love to cook, try new things, mix up new ingredients, try new gadgets. First, let me say, I love my kitchen! I've been stuck in apt size kitchens way too long. New house, wonderful kitchen. Best part...the kitchen island. Love love the space!

This morning I cut up 3 different types of apples, added some butter, sugar, cinnamon and the last of the dried cranberries ( the new raisin, lol). Put them all in the crockpot for crockpot applesauce. Waiting for the smell to wake up the house.

I get most of my ideas from magazines, the cooking channel and lately Pinterest. I'm a fresh food cook, hardly canned anything.

So Bon appetite , let's see what we can learn and share here!
