Happy Monday! Hope everyone had a great weekend. We spent some time with friends processing apples. We made my homemade no-sugar applesauce recipe to start with about 15 apples. It made six pints that we then canned. Then we started some apple butter in the slow cooker. We processed it in the morning and it was delicious. The house smelled awesome. Today I made a second batch of applesauce, plus some dehydrated apple rings. The kids love these for snacks and now we have a full stock of apple (and pineapple!) rings for the lunch box this week.

On the menu this week:
Sunday~ Lemon Orange Rosemary Chicken in the Ninja Cooking System. I didn’t have lemon so I swapped it out for orange. The chicken came out awesome. Madison asked for fourths! I also roasted the last of our cherry tomatoes, along with some honey roasted carrots.
Monday~ L/O Chicken used in a pasta bake. Steamed green beans on the side.
Tuesday~ Apricot Pork chops from the Everyday Food Cookbook. Note~ I use boneless pork chops so the time increases to about 20 minutes. The recipe is also a great way to use up the heels of bread. Maybe some squash on the side, plus polenta in the slow cooker.
Wednesday~ Orange Hoisin Chicken (slow cooker). Recipe from Not Your Mother’s Slow Cooker Cookbook
Thursday~ Last night my sister and family are here from Hawaii. Cozy fall dinner of homemade chili and corn bread planned. Maybe a yummy apple dessert.
Friday~ Pizza!
