Taffy Apple Salad

This is one of our favorite recipes, although we don’t make it very often. It calls for a lot of sugar and we try to limit the amount of sugar we consume. We make it usually for Thanksgiving. The combination of the peanuts and apples makes this so tasty.

1 cup sugar (I use less.)
16 oz crushed pineapple (I use chunked pineapple sometimes.)
2 tablespoons flour
2 eggs
4 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

Mix and heat in a sauce pan, on medium heat, until thick. Chill for 2 hours. (If you use chunked pineapple use only the juice for this step and fold the chunks in later with the apples.)

16 oz whipped topping (I like to replace whipping cream sweetened with maple syrup)

Add this whipped topping to the chilled sauce.8 cups Granny Smith apples cut up into small pieces
2 cups chopped peanuts

Fold the apples and peanuts into the creamy mixture.

Now it is ready to serve! Yummy!

A Great Way to Organize your Paint Colors

Have you ever opened a paint can after a couple of years, to touch up the walls, and the paint had dried out or was ruined and you couldn’t read the label to buy more?

Here is a great way to organize paint colors.  
When you have a can of paint mixed, ask for an extra label, attach it to the color swatch on a piece of paper, put into a plastic sleeve, and then in a folder. Mark what room it is for.

A New Family Photo and Thanksgiving!

How was your Thanksgiving? We had a great time with our parents, our children, and grandchildren over to our house for a feast. It was nice to have everyone together, and we were able to take a family photo.

Bathroom Organization

Like us on Facebook for more tips.

Storage is always and issue for our family in every room. Keeping things simplified is one of the things we try to do. The more things you have, the more things you have to store. We have garage sales twice a year, one in the spring and one in the fall. I find that having a garage sale encourages us to go through everything the best we could. It is important to keep things neat and clean, even in the bathroom.

Here is our master bathroom. I like to keep it as neat as possible with nothing on the counters. I chose brown for the walls because I like the contrast against the white, and we get plenty of light in there.

I must have different watt bulbs in the light fixture. lol (I didn’t notice this before.)

You could see how we framed the mirror here.

DIABETES TESTIMONIAL:

As you know, I am diabetic with all the problems that go along.  One of my greatest fears is losing my legs as my grandfather lost his from diabetes.  I suffered severe neuropathy in both my legs and feet.  In addition to that, I had 3 stints put in my left leg last summer and was diagnosed with PAD.
