Keep Your Apples From Browning!
Autumn has arrived and it’s time to enjoy those delicious, fresh apples! But, the worst thing is when you cut an apple and it browns right away. Here are a couple really simple ways to keep your apples from browning:
- Lemon juice. You can use either freshly squeezed or lemon juice. You can add the lemon juice right to the cut side of the apple simply tossing them in a bowl with a little bit of the lemon juice. This method will give your apple a slightly lemon taste. Rinse after you are done with the lemon juice.
- Carbonated drinks. You can drop your apples in a bowl of your chosen carbonated drink for around 5 minutes, but no loner. After that is finished, go ahead and drain the apples and rinse with cool water.
- Plastic wrap. How incredibly simple! This method just keeps the air away from the apple, preventing it from browning. Wrap the plastic wrap as tight as possible to keep it fresh for much longer!
- Choose Wisely! Did you know that certain types of apples brown faster than others? If you’re planning a certain dessert or would like them cut up and have them out for awhile, remember that Granny Smith brown the least and Red Delicious browned the fastest!
- Smart Storage! The best way to store your cut apples is to place them directly in a sealed bag and ensure that all of the air is out of the bag before you close it and set them in your refrigerator until ready to serve!
Dogs & Zucchini
Dogs & Zucchini
Did you know a GREAT, Healthy nutritious snack that most dogs LOVE is Zucchini? Cooked Zucchini, Steamed Zucchini, Raw Zucchini, Dehydrated Zucchini, the options are endless for your precious pooch!
Every 100 grams of zucchini only has 15 calories, and yet it offers a lot of nutrients such as Vitamin C and B complex, as well as magnesium, calcium, potassium and protein.
Zucchini is also good for their coat and skin, and let’s not forget the benefits to their heart!
Weight Loss or for Nutritional Benefits: Add some shredded zucchini to their food each day. I add some right to my dogs dried dog food and he gobbles it right up! (I do peel them first when shredding)
Give as a Treat: Keep some FRESH chopped up Zucchini right in the fridge for when they deserve a healthy, low fat treat. If you want their treats to last longer and through the winter, dehydrate them.
Like I said, the option’s are endless!
If you have a bit of a picky eater. Try this…
- 2 to 3 Zucchinis
- 2 tablespoons of a treat they like (Freeze Dried 100% meat works well)
Use a dehydrator or preheat your over to 150 degrees. Wash your zucchini and slice thin to your preference. In a Ziploc bag, put in the dog treats your dog likes, and use a rolling pin to make them into a fine powder. Put the Zucchini slices in the powdered dog treat mix and shake, shake, SHAKE! Now dehydrate or bake for 8 to 12 hours depending on how thick you have sliced them.
Design Your Own Plates!
Let your child design their own plates!
Supplies Needed:
Dollar Store Plate (white – Porcelain)
Sharpie Marker (any color!) – We researched and Sharpies are in fact NON TOXIC.
Oven set at 425* for 30 minutes
I have a 3 (soon to be 4!) year old son that loves doing arts & crafts with me. Recently we were at the dollar store and I passed by the dishware. They have nice, white plates for only $1 each so I thought we would give this a shot!
I purchased one white plate from the Dollar Store. Make sure it’s white so they can draw on it all over! I’m sure you could buy ones that have color & designs on the side also! Also make sure you have a sharpie marker. We used plain black because that’s all my store had and I wanted to see how this worked before using colored ones.
I let my son draw whatever his little heart desired. (I did write his name and the year on it.) While he was working on his masterpiece, I pre-heated my oven to 425*. When he was completely finished, I let the plate sit for about 15 minutes to allow the marker to dry completely. After that, I stuck it in the oven for 30 minutes. Set your kitchen timers! When the 30 minutes is up, turn off your oven and allow your plate to sit in there and cool completely.
