Applesauce Cake with Molasses ~ Deer Hunding Update

I went searching for a cake using my homemade applesauce, and one that also used molasses.  

 I doubled this Spiced Applesauce Cake Recipe, and baked it in a 9 x 13 inch pan.  The family loved it.  It's a very dense cake and can be eaten with hands too (kid tested).  It could use a layer of frosting for a tea party or coffee gathering, and is perfect for packing in school lunches.


 I was surprised that there was any left this morning.  In fact, the kids ate a piece for their breakfast.  Yum!

The men were unsuccessful in bringing in a deer yesterday.  However, they got permission to work the woods in which the deer ran into yesterday.  Today is a different story.  The rain and wind make it very difficult to hunt, and they are already stopping for a while.  Maybe they can go back out later.  It would be nice to have meat in the freezer for winter.

With snow in the forecast, we'll be stocking our porch with a load of cut firewood later.  I can hear the wind whistling inside the house.

That cakes looks delish. And if I am not mistaken that plate has a pig under the cake....lol. I have those dishes as well! We bagged a deer as well and I am canning mine later today. I just have trouble trusting my freezer with power outages.

I love molasses and I'm always looking for ways to use my homemade applesauce! In fact, today I made up a batch of the Applesauce BBQ Sauce you mentioned the other day and it is really good (I didn't use as much sugar as the orginal recipe called for)! It's going on baked meatballs for supper!
You guys stay warm!!

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
