Thank you for your support. A few days ago I shared a recipe with you that used dried apples, not reconstituted. It was a fabulous recipe for Dried Apple Oatmeal Cookies. I mentioned in that post that sometimes you reconstitute apples to use them when baking and sometimes you don't have to. A few people have asked me about how to reconstitute them, so I thought I would share the simple process with you, plus give you a recipe for Apple Crisp using dried apples as well. (I think I also mentioned that in the cookie post.)

Thank you for your support. Last Spring, I told you about my new centrifugal juicer on this post. I have been using it more and more and loving it! Lately, with all of the canning I've been doing, I've used it to finish off the last bits of fruit to make peach nectar and apple juice. I have to tell you that fresh pressed apple juice is fantastic. The only problem is that the small amount of solids that do make it into the juice, form a strange looking foam on the top of the container. I skimmed some of it off, but it was impossible to get it all. Then, I started straining the juice through a flour sack towel and that helped quite a bit, but there was still a little foam left. The juice tastes so good that we don't mind the foam, but I wanted to give you a heads up! May son and daughter-in-law on the other had use a steam juicer and they had no foam on their apple juice. So, I may have to look into one of those for canning apple juice. The apples I have been canning lately are from said son and daughter-in-law's fuji apple tree. After my first attempt at juicing apples, I asked them about the foam problem. They informed me then that they had no foam AND that they used the pulp from their juicing to make applesauce!

I've been gifted quite a few butternut squash. Luckily, this squash keeps well on the counter because I haven't had a chance to prepare it. Plus, in 118 degree weather, no one feels like making soup or roasting vegetables. But, now that school has started and we have had a few thunderstorms, it is beginning to feel like Fall, in spirit, if not in temperature. The time has come to prepare the squash! There are 3 recipes that we have posted here on the blog that are a few of my go-to recipes when I have squash to prepare. I'm sure that I will make at least one of these:
You know, sometimes you just feel like trying something new. So, I've been scouring the web to see if something strikes my fancy. Here are a few that I'm interested in:
Which of these recipes do you think you would like to try? Let me know in the comments! I will let you know how the muffins turn out!

A few things led me to this recipe. First-It is Fall! Our weather has cooled down and to me, that means it is baking weather! Second-My husband and I are suddenly empty nesters again and we were left with more milk than we could use, so I needed to find recipes that called for milk! Third-I had a variety of bread heels and odds and ends in my bread box that were perfect for Bread Pudding!
Bread Pudding is such an old fashioned comfort food, and I don't always think to bake it. But, when all of those elements came together, it was like a perfect storm! A deliciously perfect baking storm! And, since today is a bit rainy, (something we love in Phoenix), a dish of warm bread pudding tastes even better.
