Lavender Oil

What you need:

Glass jars with tight fitting lids

Oil - The best and most reasonable oil is Grapeseed Oil
Or Safflower, Canola, (any oil but Olive, peanut, corn oils – they are too heavy and make sure you don’t get an oil that is scented like Almond

Depending on the size of the jars, you need enough Grapeseed Oil to fill each bottle to almost the top
Lavender Oil – Get from a Whole Foods or any health food chain – you want aromatherapy oil, not cheap imitation, or any bottle that isn’t 100 % lavender oil...
Almost fill each jar with the Grapeseed Oil
Using a dropper, infuse (drop) Lavender Oil into the oil to scent. Usually about 8-10 drops per bottle. (depends on the quality of the Lavender Oil, the more you spend, the stronger the smell.
Put top on jars and gently turn back and forth until blended – don’t shake!

1 Tbsp. pecans- finely chopped

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a baking dish just large enough to hold the apples, pour the water to coat the bottom of the dish. Arrange the apples in the dish. Combine the maple syrup, vanilla, citrus juice and pecans in a bowl. Pour the mixture over and inside each apple, dividing it equally.  Cover the dish and place in the oven. Bake for 30-40 minutes just until the skins start to split. Don’t cook the apples until they are mushy.
Serve the apples warm or chilled with all of the sauce from the bottom of the dish poured evenly over each apple.

I had to blog
To Trish
Immediately...

Because I
Loved her question...


Trish

Understanding this
Is simple

Your 1yr old..
Will love this fruit
And
Mom will understand
More and more and more


I made these for my kids
25 years ago
And
Three days ago....

Baked apples

Organic apples
Cut in half

Placed face down
In a baking dish

In a fraction of an inch of:

Water
Maple syrup

Put em in the oven and bake, at 350 for however long you like how mushy they are...


The other night:

Baked pears....

Organic pears
Cut in half
Cooked the say way

When soft, hot and sexy
Drizzle some cold soy cream
And maple syrup all over them...

Babies adore
Real food
Fruits are simple
To cook
Soft to digest
And
Baby's love them....

Oh, homemade apple sauce

It makes me crazy when I see people buying apple sauce in those tiny plastic cups...

It takes five minutes to make home made organic apple sauce...

In a pressure cooker:


Cut organic apples up in big chunks...
I do tons because we eat tons

Cover with water
An inch or two over top of apples
Lock on lid
Bring to pressure
Reduce to medium high
For
six, seven minutes, the most
And
Bring pressure down
Open lid
Drain water

Add

Maple syrup
Or thick brown sugar...a bit
And
Mash the hell out of them...

Applesauce...
Homemade
l0 minutes, max
Organic
And, the house smells sweeter than sweet...

Done...

Learning more and more everyday...

Enjoy your fruit
And
The learning...
