Spicy Apple Butter

My husband just loves Apple Butter, every year when we pick up the apples from the farmers market, the first thing he say's is when are you making the Apple Butter? We recently made our Apple Butter for the season and will give some of it as holiday gifts. This Apple Butter is very spicy with a little kick that we just love and yet it still has the familiar flavors of the old fashioned Apple Butter.

I told her I hadn't made it in a long time but after I found the recipe and remembered how good it was, guess what I made a big pot of the soup. This Chicken Enchilada Soup is full of flavor and very easy to put together. It is a great recipe for any event or a family dinner.

Whats For Dinner Next Week 10-24-14

Carving the pumpkins, getting the trick or treat bags ready for all the little callers that we will have this week, the cottage is all a buzz. We had a very successful garage sale last weekend and this week we have put the final touches on our fall cleaning. One of the things I do in the fall is get my pantry ready for the holiday baking season and make sure that I have lots of staples on hand for the bad weather days. Have you been getting ready for the little visitors that will be coming around at the end of the week? Give me some ideas as to what you will be doing for the cute little monsters.
