Harvest Time Stove Top Apple Butter
November 25, 2016
Thanksgiving has come and gone. I hope you all had a wonderful day! Some people might go from Thanksgiving straight to Christmas, but my mind is still on 'Fall' mode, so that means more fall recipes! Apples are just one of the many wonderful foods that are popular during the fall months, and I love to use them as often as I can!
I have always loved apple butter! Its delicious, full of warm flavors and also really easy to make! A lot of recipes are made for the crockpot, but not everyone has a crock pot, so I wanted to make a recipe that everyone could use! With just a few simple ingredients, you can turn delicious apples into terrific apple butter!
We ordered 2 bushels of apples a few weeks ago, and we've been eating a lot of them, but we can possibly eat both bushels before they go bad, so I had to do something with them! I made apple butter with a few and I hope to make apple sauce and apple-pie filling soon!
Ingredients:
7-8 Large Apples, peeled and chopped into small pieces
1 cup Apple Cider
3/4 cup Sugar of Choice
2 tsp Cinnamon
2 tsp Allspice
Pinch of Salt
1/2 tsp Vanilla
2 TBS Lemon Juice
Once you have peeled and chopped your apples, add them to a pot on the stove along with the apple cider. Turn it on to medium/high.
Bring it to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 20 minutes. Make sure to stir every few minutes to keep it from sticking and burning.
Once the 20 minutes are up, add in the sugar, spices, salt, vanilla and lemon juice.
Bring the mixture back up to a boil and then reduce the heat back to a simmer. Cook at a simmer for 30 minutes, making sure to stir often.
Turn the heat off and taste the mixture to make sure the flavors are to your liking. You might want to add more cinnamon, vanilla or allspice! Transfer to a blender or use an emulsion blender to puree the mixture to your desired texture.
Once you have it blender, add it back into the pot at medium/low heat.
Cook for around 10 minutes, stirring almost constantly to keep from sticking. Then, turn the heat off and allow the mixture to cool. Transfer to an air-tight container or Ziploc back or eat it right away! You can keep it in the fridge for a week or two, or in the freezer for several months!
As I was making this batch of apple butter, I was also making homemade bread! You can imagine how good our kitchen smelled! There is nothing better than homemade apple butter on fresh homemade bread!
This apple butter is delicious on homemade bread, biscuits, muffins, oatmeal, pancakes, waffles, French toast and so much more! It can be enjoyed warm or cold and is terrific by the spoonful!
I really hope you try this recipe out and that you like it as much as I do! Apple butter has always been a favorite of mine and I am so excited to have made some for myself and with my own recipe! If you love it too, please share this recipe with your friends and family so everyone can make homemade apple butter!
Please share my blog with your friends and family to spread the love of a healthy lifestyle and help others become the healthiest version of themselves!

White Bean and Kale Soup Recipe
November 11, 2016
Cooler weather calls for warmer meals, and that is just one of the many reasons why I love fall! I love being able to cuddle up in a blanket, drinking coffee and reading....Watching the leaves fall outside in the crisp air and being warm and cozy inside! With the weather (finally) cooling off here, I am getting excited about making more warm and cozy meals like this soup recipe I am sharing today!
I haven't always been a fan of vegetable soups, especially ones with kale in them, but as I have grown, but taste buds have matured! Now I love all kind of soups with all kinds of vegetables( including kale!). Soups are perfect for easy dinner ideas, healthy meals and they even make delicious lunches! Whenever and however you choose to eat soup, I know you will enjoy this recipe!
This soup is vegan, dairy-free, oil-free and gluten-free! Its super simple and yet so full of flavor and textures! Make this soup on those chilly fall evenings and serve it with some fresh homemade bread!
Ingredients:
1 Yellow Onion- Diced
1 cup Chopped Carrots
1 TBS Garlic- minced
1 1/3 cup Quinoa
1 can Diced Tomatoes
2 cans White Northen Beans
9 cups Veggie Broth
2 cups Chopped Kale
2 tsp Oregano
1 tsp Thyme
1 tsp Parsley
1 tsp Ground Mustard
Salt
Pepper
First, get all the veggies chopped. Heat up a pot on the stove and add in the onions. I prefer to do this without any oil, but you can add some in if you wish. Cook until the onions begin to soften.
Next, add in the carrots and garlic. Saute for about a minute before adding in the seasonings.
(Sorry for the picture quality! My camera was getting foggy from the steam!)
Saute the seasonings for a few seconds before adding in the quinoa, tomatoes and beans. MAKE SURE TO DRAIN AND RINSE YOUR BEANS. It makes a huge differnce in the taste of the soup as well as your digestion later!
Cook to warm everything through and then add in the broth. I added all but 1 cup of the veggie broth at first and reserved the last cup for the end. Bring the broth to a boil , add in the kale and reduce to a simmer.
Cook for 25-30 minutes at a simmer or until the quinoa is fully cooked. The quinoa will absorb quite a bit of the broth, so you might want to add more broth at the end( I added my reserved 1 cup).
Isn't it pretty? Its so colorful looking! You can serve the soup right away, or let it cool down and put it in the fridge of a few days or even freeze it for a few months! Its never a bad idea to have soup in the freezer for those days when you don't feel like cooking!
We ate the soup right away with some delicious bread! It would also be great with some crackers or cornbread! I loved this white bean and kale soup and so did my family! Its perfect for families because it is easy to make, full of fiber and veggies and taste amazing!
I hope you try out this recipe and that you love it as much as I did! I really cannot wait to make it again! This is a great recipe to share with you friends and family, so pass it along so that everyone can have a delicious soup recipe this Fall!
I am on most social media sites and I would love to connect with you on one or all of them! Please follow the blog via email and Google as well as on social media!

Vegan Sweet Potato Casserole
December 18, 2015
I love sweet potatoes in just about everything! They are also really good for you, and are a great fall time vegetable. However, during this time of year, sweet potatoes get stuffed into dishes with butter, cream, butter, tons of sugar, more butter, marshmallows, and other, not-so-healthy ingredients. It really is sad because they almost cover up the taste of the sweet potato, in all its glory, and you are left with a sugary, buttery over load.
But this recipe for sweet potato casserole is not only vegan, meaning no butter, cream, or other animal products, but also is low in sugars, which allows the beautiful sweet potato to shine! After all, its called Sweet Potato Casserole, so shouldn't you be able to taste the actual sweet potato?
This healthier, vegan, but still delicious recipe is so good, you won't even be able to tell there isn't a bucket load of sugar, butter, or cream in it! So let's make it already! :)
Ingredients:
5-6 medium Sweet Potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
3 TBS Coconut Oil
4-5 TBS Maple Syrup ( add more or less depending on how sweet you like it!)
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp Nutmeg
Pinch of Salt
Splash of Vanilla Extract
Topping:
5 TBS Coconut Oil, melted
4 TBS Maple Syrup
Pinch of Salt
1 Tsp Cinnamon
1/2 Tsp Nutmeg
1/2 cup Almond Flour
1 cup Oats
Handful of chopped Pecans
Sprinkling of Brown Sugar( Optional)
Start by peeling and chopping your sweet potatoes. Add them to a pot of boiling water and cook for 20 minutes, or until soft.
Once they are cooked, drain off the water and return the potatoes to the pot. Use a fork, potato masher, or electric mixer to mash the potatoes into a smooth puree.
Add in the coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vanilla and give it a good mix. Taste and adjust if needed.
Lightly grease a pan with coconut oil, and then spread the potato mash evenly in the pan.
Heat your oven to 350 F. Bake your casserole for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and your house is filled with the smell of fall! Serve right away to your family and friends, or eat it all by yourself! No judging here! :)
The brown sugar on top is totally optional, but I think it gives a really nice crunch. I used maybe a tablespoon, if even that much, and it really makes a difference! You could even use something like coconut sugar!

Then, make the topping! Add the melted coconut oil, maple syrup, cinnamon, salt, and nutmeg to a bowl and give it a whisk. Them stir in the almond flour, oats, and chopped nuts. Give it a really good mix and then layer it on top of the sweet potato mix. Make sure to get an even layer.
This topping would be great for apple crisps, peach cobblers, or even muffins!
Heat your oven to 350 F. Bake your casserole for 35-40 minutes, or until the edges start to brown and your house is filled with the smell of fall! Serve right away to your family and friends, or eat it all by yourself! No judging here! :)

Mhhhmmmmmmmmm. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed making and eating this recipe! So delicious, comforting, perfectly sweet, and healthy! What more could you want?
I really hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I did! Its a great fall time meal, and even a perfect dish to add to your Christmas table!

Amazing Apple Chips
November 13, 2015
Apples are great for so many fall inspired recipes, crafts, and snacks! We ordered two boxes of apples a few weeks ago, and ever since I've been eating apples everyday! We've made apple crisp, cobblers, pancake toppings, and baked apples and they've all been delicious! But, most of those things aren't super healthy, so I wanted to try out a healthy recipe and use some of our apples!
We have made apple chips in a dehydrator before, but not everyone has a dehydrator, and I wanted to make this recipe easy for everyone! These are super easy, super delicious, and such a perfect snack for just about anytime! We ate them all in about a day and a half, they were that good!
What I love about this recipe is how healthy and delicious it is! The chips are still so sweet and apple-y even though you don't add any sugar! Also, this recipe is vegetarian, vegan, and oil free, so what is not to love about them?
Ingredients:
4 Large Apples
Lemon Juice
Cinnamon ( or any other seasonings you like!)
Preheat you oven to 200 F. Wash and dry your apples.
Using a sharp knife, mandolin slicer, or food processor, slice you apples as thinly as you can. Be careful if using a knife or mandolin, you don't want to lose any fingers! :)
Then use a small knife, or little cookie cutter to cut out the center part with the seeds. I used some cute fall themed cookie cutters, and I love how they turned out!
Next, add your apple slices to a bowl and splash on them lemon juice. Make sure to coat each slice. This keeps them fresh-tasting and helps them not turn brown. Then lay the slices on a baking sheets lined with parchment paper or tin-foil. Make sure none of the slices are touching, because they will stick together after baking. Sprinkle with cinnamon to desired flavor!
I honestly would be happy eating just this, but lets continue and make these apple slices into apple chips! Place the pans in the oven for 1 hour. Then carefully flip each slice over and bake for another hour. Depending on how thin your slices were, you might need some extra time. I baked mine for a total of 2 hours and 35 minutes, and some of my slices were fairly thick.
The house smelled so good while these were baking! Let them cool a bit. They will crisp up a bit as they cool too! Place them in an air tight container, if you don't eat them all first! :)
These are so good! I will be making these again very soon, and I want to experiment with the seasonings a little bit! I am thinking nutmeg, ginger, or even go savory with curry powder or paprika!
Fall is such a great time to make recipes using apples, and I really hope you try this one out! Apples are such a beautiful fall fruit, and I want to use them as much as possible right now! These apple chips are a perfect healthy snack for on the go, or whenever you want to reach for those oily potato chips!
I really hope you give this recipe a try, and share it with your friends and family! Please share my blog with your friends and family to spread the love of a healthy lifestyle!
