Apple Pie Goodie

Apples. They are in abundance this time of year. But what do you do with all those apples?

A few years ago I found the yummiest recipe on a blog.
 

Apple Pie Goodie has been a mainstay for us. A dessert that makes up quickly and everyone seems to love it.

Go to Kim's blog post for the recipe. I know you will enjoy it!

Hurricane Isaias

 

Here we go again. The start of Hurricane season. Hurricane Isaias is hurrying up the gulf coast. We have had a LOT of rain the last few days, and this will really soak the ground. Here's hoping and praying Isaias will dissipate quickly and not leave too much damage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The cities of Gulfport, Mississippi; Mobile, Alabama; and Pensacola, Florida are within the storm's forecast path, as of Wednesday morning.

Forecasters say Isaias' exact track is not yet certain, but people across the Gulf Coast should prepare themselves for impacts from the storm.
