1 banana

1/4 c honey

1/2 tsp vanilla

1 cup (frozen or fresh) blueberries

1 1/2 cups (frozen or fresh) strawberries

Apple Pie

August 22nd, 2009

So I made this apple pie today. It was to die for. Seriously it was. I said the same thing to Tony and he was like “okay, we will see, your mom’s pie is pretty good!!” He took a bite and was like “WOW!!!! Did you write the recipe down honey??” Well, No I did not…I just made it up as I went along. :) So anyways, I am going to try and remember everything I did later on tonight. :)

As of right now, we are installing new carpet on our stairs! Yah, cause we are crazy like that! :)

Why pay someone 800 bucks to do it, when I can pay my husband with apple pies and kisses. We both win and it is so much cheaper!!!! ;)
