It is time for another Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge. This week the challenge is to use
"A Few of Your Favorite Things".
This was an easy one for me. This Sadie's Apples from Mo's Digital Pencil is one of my favorite Mo images. I used Copics to color her which are also my favorite coloring medium. Then I added some heart buttons. Who doesn't like buttons.
Lastly, I turned it into a recipe card with one of my favorite recipes. This is such an easy recipe and it tastes YUMMY.
8 yellow delicious apples cored, peeled and sliced.
5 tsp. light brown sugar
A cinnamon stick or a tsp of cinnamon (this is optional)
I
Add it all to a crockpot on low and cook 6-8 hours. Your house will smell divine. I stir mine and mash the apples as they get softer. Then when they have cooked I add them to my blender and blend it to an applesauce consistency. Please note that if you make this in your crockpot and it is white it will stain your pot. Ask me how I know. You can also cook this on low on your stove top too.
Then I add it to my canning jars and refrigerate. It must be refrigerated unless you are actually going to can it with a cooker which properly seals it.
Here is my recipe book I use. It is a Lang binder. I just love it.
Thanks to my friend Christine Dol I had found this online at Langs. She has created recipe cards on her blog also.
It has a 3 ring binder with sleeves on the inside. Great for a 4 X 6 recipe card.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the opportunity to win!
I love yout sweet recipe card in it's pretty binder and the finished product looks scrummy too. Regrettably I don't actually cook so I would not be a worthy recipient of the binder - I just popped by to comment! Hugs, Lesley
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful post you have done! I love your recipe cards Dawn. I love how you did the buttons and the copic colours are stunning that you used. Love your book. Thank-you so much for this wonderful recipe. I am definetly making this one, it is cold and damp here and this would be wonderful to have on a cold day!
ReplyDeleteDawn, your recipe cards look beautiful in that lovely recipe binder!! My favorite easy recipe is Peppermint Bark. Here are the easy directions:
ReplyDeleteI start by crushing 8 full-sized candy canes. My kids love doing this part! After they've unwrapped the candy canes and dropped them in a plastic bag, I hand them my heavy-duty ice cream scoop and let them go to town. While they crush, I melt a pound of vanilla candy wafers (I use Melting Wafers from Make 'n Mold) in the microwave. Once the wafers are smooth and melty, just stir in the crushed candy canes, then pour the mixture out onto a cookie sheet covered with waxed paper. After spreading out and smoothing the mixture with a spatula, just pop the tray in the fridge to chill for 20 minutes or so. When it's all set up, break the peppermint bark in to pieces, and that's it. Done! (Each recipe makes 20 ounces of candy.)
Thanks for the chance to win this delicious recipe binder! Hmmm -- quick recipe.....Stuffed eggs. Boil 6 eggs; peel, then cut in half lengthwise. Scoop out yolks into a bowl and mash with a fork. Add 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1/4 tsp. salt and a dash of pepper -- actually, I am heavy-handed on the pepper, probably more like 3 or 4 dashes! Mix together and put into whites. Sprinkle with paprika. I never bring any of these home when I take them to a get-together (I usually do 9 to 12 eggs instead of just 6).
ReplyDeleteOoooh - I bet the house DOES smell yummy while this is cooking! Fabulous recipe card, too, Dawn. If I should happen to be the lucky random winner of this gift, please try again so that someone who would make better use of it gets it. My favorite easy recipe is for my chocolate chip cookies. I have it committed to memory after making them for SO many years:) They never fail to get compliments.
ReplyDeleteOh, Dawn, I have enjoyed the visit so much, everything looks wonderful, thank you for the recept and the inspiration!
ReplyDeletehugs, Alina
You are always thinking outside the box, Dawn. Love your recipe cards. Such beautiful creations.
ReplyDeleteRegarding a recipe...Hmmm, that would have to be Chicken Francese. http://www.food.com/recipe/chicken-francese-50245
Much easier than it sounds and it's a family fav with garlicky angel hair pasta.
Dawn, I always love to see your recipes as family tested recipes are the Bestest!!! Love your coloring as always and your album is awesome to keep your Mo favorite recipe cards in one album, wonderful idea. The winner will be so thrilled.
ReplyDeleteOops. forgot to mention my family favorite recipe is calle Pizza Casserole and is easy and has a layer of crescent rolls laid out flat on the top. Quick and easy.
ReplyDeleteYour recipe cards are always gorgeous, Dawn, and this one is no exception! The recipe sounds delicious, too, so thanks for that! Wonderful album! One of my family's favorite easy recipes is for homemade Macaroni & Cheese. It's made with layers of elbow macaroni and real Vermont Sharp White Cheddar cheese and it's easy and delicious! Now I'm hungry - lol!
ReplyDeleteDawn, your cards are too sweet! Sounds like a great recipe too, I'll have to try that in the fall when we're overrun with apples and pears.Gorgeous recipe card, love the "apples"!
ReplyDeleteOh what a cute recipe card, album and yummy recipe too! I love making homemade applesauce! You've made me hungry! Mo's images are just perfect for these cards too! One of my favorite easy recipes is for taco soup! Great for cool winter nights! Love your new blog look!!!
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful recipe card & the recipe sounds delicious! Nothing is better than homemade! My favorite recipe would have to be my daughter's cheesy potatoes. I could eat them everyday!

Love your recipe card and album - and, am definitely going to try your applesauce recipe! I use my crockpot to make apple butter - easy peasy! One of my favorite easy recipes is a breakfast casserole. But, my favorite "sweet" recipe is Russian Tea Cakes; they're small, light and delicious! Thank you for a chance to win.
ReplyDeleteDawn, you have the prettiest recipe cards ever! Sounds delicious, too!
ReplyDeleteDawn, I love that you are posting your recipes now!! This is one I should try, a perfect gift to make, too!! I don't have any all time favorites, I get bored with my cooking so am always trying something new. My latest find is Snickerdoodles with added white chocolate...oh my goodness! Lang products are the greatest, aren't they?

I was so excited when I saw your recipe book I already ordered one to give to my niece as a bridal shower gift. I will do some recipe cards for her but won't fill the book since I only have til the end of February to complete and mail. I adore your recipe cards and the cute pictures you have stamped and colored. I will be challenged to come even partially close to your end product.
ReplyDeleteThe applesauce sounds yummy and I can imagine how the aroma drifts through the house. My favorite recipe at the moment is Italian Wedding Soup shared by my sister-in-law. The recipe is much too long to share here, but yummy. your recipe card is adorable.
ReplyDeleteI though I left a comment on this one...but guess I missed it..
ReplyDeleteYour recipe cards are to die for... they are just so pretty, each one!
I love to share recipes and try to do them on a special card too, but mine are not quite up to your level!
Dawn, I just love how you recipe card holder turned out. Your color cards are just perfect for this. I am going to have to give the applesauce a try.
ReplyDeleteGosh...a favorite recipe???
I have so many and it depends on how I feel. I guess my absolute favorite would be a chocolate chip cookie recipe. They are always yummy and easy to make.
Hugs, Heide
Hi Dawn....I've never made Applesauce but since I'm retired now, I just might give your recipe a try. My DH loves applesauce. In fact, he takes it every day in his lunch...I could surprise him with homemade!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite recipe is Mini Chocolate Chip & Rolo muffins.
I've had it in my hart to make my sweet sister a recipe book of our family recipe's and i keep putting it off, but when i saw you card I'm ready!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty recipe card. That looks delicious too. I think my favourite recipe is Raspberry Custard Pie. My Mom makes it for my birthday. :-)
ReplyDeleteBeth Greco
