A New Orleans Wedding

James and I spent last weekend in New Orleans for the wedding of an old college friend of his. It was the first time we’ve left Chloe overnight, but she had a ball with her grandparents, and we had a ball at the wedding. It was one of the most fun weddings I’ve ever been to – a mix of Jewish and Cajun traditions, a true New Orleans band, amazing food, and dancing the night away… And let’s just say our gift bags were filled with Advil and bottles of water… 🙂

Here’s a few photos of our mini-getaway…Celebrationdance

Amazing Applesauce Recipe

Been apple picking this season and find yourself with way more apples than you’d ever want to eat but don’t have time to bake? Try this super-easy applesauce recipe – and serve it over ice cream!

10 apples – cored and peeled

1 cup sugar

1 cup water

1 tsp cinnamon

Set slow-cook on low in a crockpot for hours, stirring occasionally, until the apples become applesauce.

It’s like dessert! (and yes, although I’m quite a good cook, I’m not a crock-potter, and this was the first time I used mine – ever – quite a handy gadget, I’d say! 🙂

Enjoy!

That’s how Chloe says what we did this weekend – apple picking… 🙂 What a glorious day – low 70s, sunny, blue-blue skies – great for taking pictures!
