Apple butter 2.0

Apple butter 2.0

It had been a long time since I wanted to make apple butter again. All I needed was a few hours at home, and tons of apples. When the occasion presented itself a few days ago, I didn’t hesitate! I grabbed all the apples we had at home (different varieties, coming from friends or family’s gardens), along with a red kuri squash (small pumpkin) that just happened to be in my way at the right time. Since I don’t have a…

Banana oatmeal healthy pancakes

Banana oatmeal healthy pancakes

Old fashioned pancakes

Old fashioned pancakes

This is the kind of classic US recipe I just can’t get enough of. I’ve been making it a billion times, because nothing beats a huge stack of pancakes on a Sunday morning (or any other day if you ask me)! I got this recipe from a really old cookbook I got when Arnaud and I were living in Flagstaff. I remember us going to a yard sale during one of our first weekends there, riding our yellow bikes, and…
