Oooo we have a lot of goodies for you today! Just one look at this collage for Autumn Bliss, the new ebook from Denise Thompson and Lori Ramsey, and you can see why I was eager to take a peek inside!  Why a book about autumn?

Cinnamon Applesauce (no sugar)

Make cinnamon appelsauce in your corckpot! This recipe is sugar free, gluten free, and paleo!

We keep planning to can it but never have enough left! This recipe is super easy, especially […] Read more »
