Tis the season!

It's just one of the saddest things I've heard! No apples - we're taking a break check back 2012! Angle Orchard had a rough go this season. If I had known I would have picked more last season! Many of you know this is my most favorite time of the year - into Autumn - I have so many wonderful memories of picking apples at Angle. Since I found out; I had to let go of the disappointment and Google-d other local you pick farms nearby I haven't checked out. Though I've/we've been meaning too - so the plan is why not and do! Brown's Orchard looks like a good place to start and what really got me was that for the past 20 years this established (since 1963) orchard hasn't used chemicals, fungicides, herbicides or the like - so what's not to like?

For more information on up farms in Willcox, AZ go here and if you live else where go here. I hope you enjoy the harvest where you live.

Talking about being busy - it's out of control! I noticed this morning that I have several posts that haven't been posted and left as drafts! I don't know what to say. Too my sadness some posts are on recipes I've made with freshness from our garden. I'm imagining it's never to late to post them - so that's my hope. The garden has grown together recently - okay - it's had some time to do so with some help from me....Not getting to it when I needed to tend to it. But not all was lost I had much success with harvesting. Some of my problem is I'm without a my home computer (it's on an extended vacation) and I'm using my husbands laptop. I realize it maybe a personal problem but I just can't get comfortable and I miss my set up so to speak- and I really don't know where time goes I truly do stay to busy.. :( But, I am hopeful!

Meanwhile here are a few of my older recipes you might like to try with apples you've picked:
(A quick note - some recipes are listed gluten free you of course can use any flour your choosing)
