Happy Recipe Thursday, everyone!
(I just made that up)
I was thinking about all of you the other night
as I was making dinner.
One of the very hardest things
I run into with meal-making is coming
up with side-dishes.
And entrees.
And clean forks.
And any shred of motivation
to walk into my kitchen.
Anyway,
as I was scrambling to put something with my pork chops,
I eyed me some apples.
"How 'bout them apples?"
I said to myself.
So I got to work.
I am a lifeless shrew without my cutting board
and butcher knife.
Tossed it all in a saucepan.
With some orange juice.
Added brown sugar, cinnamon, honey, and cranberries.
And chocolate chips.
Just kidding.
Simmer, simmer for about 15 minutes.
Delicious!
And once again,
I saved the day.
Oh how my family admires me.
(Actually, I'm not sure they noticed I was even there)
It's these little things in life that
make me say,
"Wow Lori, you are quite the culinary genius."
(I am delusional, I know.)

I should do this now! I just bought a bag of apples and I'm making pancakes for supper. These would go great! Thanks for the idea. :-)
Do they count as a green vegetable? My cupboard is bare...I must make a grocery run very soon or we will be ...
Well Joe did ask what sawdust tastes like.
I just can't stand people who can whip up stuff without recipes. bwahahahahahaha
The teenager can do that. I cannot. No fair. :)
I tried it, minus the honey and cinnamon, and it was a hit! :-)
This sounds so good! I may have to try it with pears.
Yummy! Thanks, my friend!
