Walnut Frosties THM-S

Many memories were made picking up the walnuts with my grandmother and spreading them in the attic to dry. Over the winter months my grandfather would sit at the kitchen table shelling them.

Mexican Hamburger and Rice THM-S

Are you in need of a tasty budget-friendly meal? This dish combines ground turkey and beef  to cut down on the cost and you really don’t even notice it. Riced cauliflower is very easy to make with a food processor and you can use the entire head not just the florets. There are times that I will add cooked brown rice and corn to this dish for a THM Crossover for my working men.

Apple Butter THM-E

Fall has arrived and the lovely aroma of cinnamon fills the air as apples and pumpkins are turned into delicious fall treats. Years ago, making Apple Butter was an all day affair, as it was made in large copper kettles over an open wood fire. It had to be stirred continually with large wooden paddles so it wouldn’t scorch.  The Apple Butter was slowly cooked until the point where the sugar caramelized giving it a dark rich color and great flavor.  Today, crock-pots have replaced the copper kettle and the sweet cinnamon aroma fills our kitchen.
