Apple harvest time

I was debating whether this was a crabapple tree then realized it must be an apple tree, as crabapples are much smaller, silly me. They are starting to fall off a neighbourhood tree, harvest time is from August to November from what I can google.


Daughter L convinced me to start watching 'The Voice' auditions, which has been airing on TV the past 2 nights. It has been very entertaining. It is going to be hard to find a winner with all the talent I have been hearing. I don't watch a lot of TV beyond news, FoodTV and HGTV. Although I am going to try to remember to watch the Amazing Race Canada finale tonight. The show has been renewed for a 4th season. It is fantastic actually.

I am also looking into quinoa recipes, it is a wonder grain, low on the glycemic index and happens to be a complete protein as well.

Lovely apple tree. The path through the fields at the back is lined with apple trees, and anyone can pick them, as they are not 'farmed' any more. Quinoa is really good. Hugs, Valerie

I just LOVE this time of year. Beautiful tree! My stepdaughter's mom is into quinoa. Everything they eat is super healthy. It seems to work well for them!

My mom likes the voice, but I'm tired of singing contests

I love cooking shows! I especially like Alton Brown's show Good Eats. A friend made a yummy quinoa and apple salad for our lunch the other day. It was delicious. And perfect for this time of year! :)

I know a lot of friends really love The Voice. I'm hooked right now on The Big Bang Theory.

I enjoy good grains. And sometimes, I hydrate them with chicken stock instead of water. Or veggie stock. So flippin' good.

Enjoy your grain adventures. There's so many good ones still left.
