What I Made: June 7, 2012

I had a lot of things planned for June 7.  Then my body decided to not agree with me and I had a pain flare.  While my dogs enjoyed me sitting around and napping, I didn't get a lot of cooking/baking done.

That doesn't mean I didn't make ANYTHING.  It just stopped once I couldn't take it anymore.

My morning started off with a smoothie from my archives.  Good Housekeeping had this Jump-Start Smoothie in their September 2011 issue.

What I learned from September's Food Network Magazine

The Next Big Thing – the Grapple

(c) Food Network

What is a Grapple, you ask?  A Fuji or Gala apple infused with grape flavoring.  There’s just one thing… it isn’t the next big thing – I’ve  been eating these for several years.  And I’d like to say that THEY ARE TASTY!  However, I did learn from The Grapple’s website and Facebook page that they aren’t available year round, and that makes sense why I haven’t seen them in a while.  If you’re interested they should be hitting the shelves soon (next to the “regular” apples) and I’ve seen them in both Meijer and Jewel.  Apparently you can order them online too!
