Sugarless Applesauce Cake

Lisa over at  http://stopnsmellthechocolates.blogspot.com/  is having a Fall Fruits Festival.  Everyday this week is recipes with a different fruit, other than Friday.  She has declared that to be chocolate day.  Well today is apples.  So I decided to share a apple recipe that is probably a little different.  I made it for my ex-mother-in-law for her birthday every year because she was a diabetic.  It's a very simple recipe.

Also Diana over at  http://dfseason.blogspot.com/  is looking for Fall recipes for a wonderful cookbook giveaway.  So please go check both of these ladies, they are both wonderful bloggers. 
Sugarless Applesauce Cake

1 cup raisins                     

1 cup diced dried apples

2 cups water
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1 1/2 tsps. cinnamon
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup natural applesauce
2 Tbsp liquid sweetener
1 tsp. vanilla
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup chopped nuts

Combine raisins, apples, and water in a saucepan.  Cook uncovered until water is evaporated and fruit is soft.  Set aside.  In a large bowl combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices.  In another bowl combine eggs, applesauce, sweetener, oil, and vanilla.  Add nuts and fruit mixture.  Stir in dry ingredients and blend thouroughly.  Pour into a 10-inch greased bundt pan.  Bake at 350 for 35-40 minutes or until done.

Our County Fair by the Kiwanas

The fair started here yesterday.  I took so many pictures but I won't bore ya'll with all of them.

They thought they wanted to ride the ferris wheel but it wasn't working.  It had just stopped raining so some of the rides weren't running.

Nobody braved this one.

There wasn't much the girls wouldn't ride.  Even the rides way up in the air. Braver than me. I like to keep my feet on the ground.

 And then the food.  Brianna asked me why are you taking pics of the funnel cake.  Makayla answered real fast and said to blog about it.  Getting bad I guess when kids start seeing you with a camera alot  all the time.

Then Megan, Denny and Emily found us and Emily had to have her first taste of funnel cake.  Even if Mama says no, you know Nana always gives in.

And a good time was had by all.

This N That

For some reason this morning my mind seems to be going in all different directions and not really on blogging.  Sorta a BLAH morning.  It's dreary here, chance of rain and we're suppose to take the kids to the county fair tonight.  Only night that my two step-kids will be here to go with us.  So I sit here and ponder, do I blog about all the awesome giveaways I've come across.  Then I saw an idea from Jessica over at   http://wrongweek.blogspot.com/2009/10/spreading-love-this-saturday.html    I'm not stealing   copying any of her links.  You will just have to go check them out yourself. 

Blogs that have information on them.  Not just your everyday happenings.

http://faithfulbloggers.com/blogging/using-your-blog-for-good       Using your blog for good, there's some great tips, so go check them out.

http://www.blogcoach.org/  This is another one with great blogging tips.

http://yourlittlebirdie.blogspot.com/  For a really cute little girls bathroom idea.  Very simple and affordable.

http://www.deepsouthdish.com/  Are you looking for some great southern recipes?  Look no further she has plenty of them.  I'm trying her sour cream biscuits soon.

http://2setsoftwins-helene.blogspot.com/   Found this one recently, always good for a laugh or two.  She's handling life with 2 sets of twins.  More power to her.  I couldn't do it.

http://notimeforflashcards.com/  This one has great activities for young children.  She's uses simple everyday stuff you have around the house.

http://ordinarychristianwomansheart.blogspot.com/    When I need encouragement I go to read Jennifer's blog.  She is so real.  She comes across as the type that she is what she is.  That no matter where you might see her, or what day it is, she's still the same.

http://www.survivalmodeparent.org/    Mandy has started a wonderful volunteer program.  If you have ever had a child in the hospital you know there's always so much that is needed to be done back at home.  If nothing but a hot meal for those at home, or bring one to you.  You can't stand but so much take-out.  Go check her out she can explain it so much better than I can.


I could go on and on but for some reason it won't copy and paste or link anymore and it's just too frustrating.   Just check out my blogroll, trust me there is plenty there.  The kids are waking up and are wanting breakfast.  Clothes need to be folded, and dishes washed.

Mama's Journey

Last year for Christmas I gave my Mom and Mother-in-law a journal jar.   As I blogged about earlier this year  at http://nanathena.blogspot.com/2009/02/journal-jar.html
Well my Mom has taken the questions and wrote them in a book for me.  When I read it I told her it was directed more towards me.  She said well you gave me the questions.  Since then I have convinced her to write books for my brothers, and sister, and possibly other family members.  Therefore, I have decided to begin writing each day a question and an answer out of the book.  At a second blog My Mama's Journey.    http://mymamasjourney.blogspot.com/

Two Choices

Matthew 7:13,14           Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it. 14 But small is the gate and narrow the road that leads to life, and only a few find it.

We all have a choice to make.  Either to live in a relationship with God and experience life everlasting.  Or to live a life of sin, that ultimately leads to distruction.
 He never said the narrow way would be easy.  But He said He would never leave us nor forsake us.
Which choice will you make today?  Life or death?
