Today I'm linking up with We Are That Family in Works For Me Wednesday.I'm going to share a secret of mine with you! I don't buy milk. I use powdered milk to cook with. I buy the great big box and I use it in all my cooking. It is so handy, I never run out, and it keeps me from going to the store. It seems like I always buy a few extra things when I run to the store anyway, so it's good when I can keep away from the store for as long as possible! My family doesn't drink milk, so I can get away with this. Don't worry, we've found other ways to get our calcuim. It Works For Me! Now head on over to We Are That Family and see what everyone else is up to!
Don't forget to check out my giveaway at the bottom of this post!
We found this great trail on our way to pick apples and couldn't resist checking it out! Of course we brought the dogs along. This is Sloan and Fifi.
The leaves were gorgeous! This is Chauncey and Seamus.
The bridges were fun!
Sloan even found a place to rest and enjoy the gorgeous fall day.
Chauncey likes picking apples.
This use to be an old apple orchard, and all the apples were just going to waste.
Ya gotta love free apples even if you have to hike a ways to get them!
Chauncey helped me make this Apple Crisp. We found the recipe in my favorite cookbook. I loved the nutmeg flavor in this recipe.Apple Crisp
8 cups of apples, peeled and sliced
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup flour
1 cup oatmeal
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons nutmeg
1 cup butter, softened
Heat oven to 375 and spray a 9x13 inch pan with Pam.
Measure all the dry ingredients into a large bowl and whisk to mix. Cut in the butter to make a crumb.
Put the apples in the prepared pan. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the apples and spread out evenly. Bake for 30 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream!

I love cooking with powdered milk, too - every now and then I have to be careful (like with my buttercream recipe), but pretty much anything else is perfect for powdered milk! Good tip!
From the Jesse Janes etsy store, I LOVE the rainbow Hearts tile. I adore rainbows.
