Five on Friday {Fall Edition}

It's been a very long time since I've done a five on friday (I think Easter was my last!)  Five on Friday is just a unique way to post about the randomness of life.  And you know me, twist my arm to make it about something seasonal;-)

Sunday is our Sabbath day in our household...and we had a wonderful Sabbath last weekend.  We had a Halloween/ fall day.  After church we picked up some groceries for making some appetizers, buffalo chicken cups (see number 2), "mummy dogs" aka pigs in a blanket, and apple cider.  We enjoyed playing the leaves with the kids, drinking hot apple cider, a campfire while we ate our appetizers.  Then we carved our humble little pumpkin and the kids got to show it off to our neighbor. It was truly one of those days I'll always remember (& I hope Anya does too!)

He's WALKING!  And you wouldn't even believe if you knew just how difficult it is to capture a picture of it.  Okay, maybe you do if you have a one year old;-)

I have the best father-in-law EVER!  This morning he stopped by to give this Mommy a much needed PSL & pumpkin scone.  Thank you for thinking of me on this beautiful fall day!

Yes, that is a bite taken out of the back.  Y'all don't understand...I've got a very hungry little girl who must be starving.  #thanksanya

Happy Friday Friends!

Apple Crisp

Me- "Anya say 'cheese'"!
Anya- "Mommy can I take a bite?"
Love her!!


We make a TON of apple crisp during September and October.  And Anya and I have the best recipe for you, although I rarely follow recipes.  We ALWAYS double the apples and probably triple the crisp.  But if you like following recipes...here's one that's delish!

4 diced apples
2/3-3/4 cup of brown sugar
1/2 cup flour
1/2 cup oats
3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/3 cup softened butter
dash of salt
1/4 cup of water or less

Place the diced apples in an 8x8 dish.  Pour in 1/4 cup of water over the apples.  Mix together brown sugar and butter.  Add in flour, oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.  Stir mixture until crumbly.  If it's to dough-y I just add more flour and oats.  Sometimes I add vanilla too.
Bake 375 degrees for 30-35 minutes.

I love it a la mode!
