The disappearing blogger

Wow. I’m getting worse at blogging by the month. Here’s where I’m at: I’m down to 148 pounds, I’ve been crazy busy with out-of-town guests and then I was an out of town guest last weekend (we went to Columbus), my daughter had H1N1, I got a great delivery of meat from our farm share (Thanks, Penn’s Corner!) and my husband may be getting a new job (that he will LOVE!)

That’s a lot in just a few weeks. And mostly good (except for that whole H1N1 business. She’s fine now, thank god.)

A recipe:

Homemade Applesauce
3 lbs of sour apples
1 c. of apple cider
1/2 c. sugar

Core, peel and slice apples. Add to large pot with cider and sugar. Bring to a boil. Add a tsp. of cinnamon, if you like. Cover and reduce heat. Simmer for about 15 mins or until apples have turned to mush. Stir with a wisk. Tada! Applesauce.

It’s completely simple and delicious and is only 2 points per cup. Also extremely cost-saving. You’ll make about 8 cups of applesauce for the price of buying a large jar at the store.

I’m determined to lose another pound or so this week. If I do, I’ll be down 5 pounds from the start of meetings here at my work. Wish me luck!
