The first recipe in the feature of Five Fabulous Fall Recipes is this fresh fall salad. It’s made with arugula, pomegranate, pecans, apples, feta, and the perfect fall dressing.

Recipe: Apple Butter
Fall is here! Oh, and so is thanksgiving – happy thanksgiving to all my Canadian fans! When October hits I know it’s time to pluck the apples from our tree. Last year we pruned it, so it didn’t produce any apples. This year, however, the apples were plentiful. Time for apple butter. Here we go…apple butter in the slow cooker.

Love peanut butter? Apples? A bit of chocolate? Need a quick breakfast in the morning? Apple peanut butter burritos are for you!!

Fruity Juicy
This juice packs a punch – perfect for a fresh start morning. All fruit with a bit of parsley…and ginger – I don’t think ginger is a fruit! Fruity Juicy Juice it up! A great thing about this juicer, you don’t need to cut the veggies or fruit up very much…saves time! This one was so good. The green apple and the lemon add some sourness to it…mmm. Green goodness.
