My Winter Boots

 

Summer has officially come to an end and it is time for me to put all of my summer shoes away to make room for all of my  winter boots.

 

As most of you might remember in my post, my bedroom, I have a 6 foot bookshelf with all of my shoes on it. With the weather getting colder, I need to change out all of my summer shoes with my winter boots.  While I was changing them, I came across a little bit of a problem, most of my boot wouldn’t stand up by on their own.

 

I found to piece of card board in the garage. 

I traced a pattern onto the cardboard. 

Then I cut them out.  

Afterwards, I put the cut cardboard into my boot with the rounded side by the heal and the pointed side by the toe.

 

It really works to keep it standing up! :) 

I moved some of the shelves around to make sure the boots fit.

 

Now all of my boots can stand up straight and stay in great shape!!!  This was any easy fix.  Here is the best part, it didn’t cost me a thing and I love the way it looks!

What do you do with your winter boots?

Apple Crisp

 

I absolutely love fall!  I would like to give you some of my favorite recipes and here is one of them. 

The first thing you will need is apples.  I would say about 2 lbs of apples (about 6 apples), it should fill a pie pan.  My family loves to use Jonathan apples, they are the best to bake with, have the best flavor and become nice and soft!   We like less apples and more crisp because we don’t sweeten the apples in any way.  The only sweet part is the crisp on the top!

 

Peel and cut apples. We use this very handy apple peeler and cutter. It saves so much time!

 

Have the peels go directly to a garbage of compost bucket for easy clean up.

 

We then cut the apples in half and spread out on a tray (A pie pan works well too).

 

Combined all ingredients (full recipe is at the bottom of this post) and mash with a  masher.

Until is just crumbles :) 

Spread on top of the apples. 

Bake at 400 for 40 to 45 min. 

Or until the apples are soft when poked with a fork and the crisp is golden brown.

 

Serve with vanilla ice-cream!!! We only had chocolate chip, it was still great!!!

Apple Crisp

1/2 Cup Oat Meal
1/2 Cup Brown Sugar
1/4 Cup Melted Butter
1/4 Cup Flour
1/2 Teaspoon Cinnamon 

Combined all ingredients together until it crumbles!

I hope you enjoy this amazing dish… Let me know what you think!!!! :)
