Easy Slow Cooker “Apple Pie” Sauce

My boys adore this simple homemade applesauce. (Affectionately known as “apple pie sauce” in our house.) So when my neighbor’s apple tree exploded with an abundance of apples this month, we pulled out our slow cooker and started peeling …This lightly spiced version of a traditional classic uses pure apple juice and maple syrup, with just a hint of cinnamon, to accentuate the sweetness of the apples. Mmm…so yummy!

I’m sharing this easy-to-make recipe (perfect for getting the kids in the kitchen with you) over at The Better Mom website. Join me there to get this delicious recipe, perfect for enjoying as a healthy snack, scrumptios lunchbox side and it’s great for creating delicious, healthier baked goods too!

One of my favorite ministries is serving as the Meal Planning Contributor for The Better Mom, where I share my bi-weekly real food meal plans as a way to help inspire and encourage others. Each bi-weekly meal plan includes what’s on the menu for breakfast, lunch and dinner, as well as links to more than 40 of the delicious real food recipes featured.

FEATURED RECIPE: Caprese Pasta is like summer in a bowl. It’s so light and refreshing – definitely a summertime favorite!

And here’s what’s on the full menu for the next two weeks at The Nourishing Home. To view the recipe links for the bi-weekly meal plan, please pop on over to The Better Mom.

Happy July 4th Healthy Holiday Menu

By Kelly · Leave a Comment

One of our favorite summertime activities is gathering together with all of our neighbors for a big ole’ July 4th BBQ-Potluck Celebration. We block off our cul de sac and break out the grills, easy-ups, tables and chairs, and inflate a crazy-big water slide for the kiddos.

Enjoying good homemade food together is a big part of the day’s celebration, and so I always enjoy coming up with healthy real food versions of traditional BBQ fare to share. Because I’m such a fan of patriotic holidays, The Better Mom invited me to create two festive meal plans this summer to showcase some whole food spins on some of America’s BBQ favorites.

To check out my two patriotic meal plans, just click on the links below:
• Healthy & Delicious Memorial Day Menu
• July 4th Healthy Holiday Menu

And I’d also like to invite you to share a link or two to some of your favorite healthy summertime BBQ recipes in the comments. It will be fun to exchange some healthy recipes perfect for summer!

Wishing you and your family a Happy July 4th! What a great time of year to thank God for the freedoms we enjoy and to ask for His continued blessing and guidance for our nation!

Joyfully Serving Him, Kelly
