This weekend I received more apples and more peaches. A TON more! Oh, and some grapes! So, guess what I’ve been doing all weekend?
Yep, going to soccer games.
Oh, and making applesauce and canning peaches. And experimenting with fruit leather. (**UPDATE** I just posted about making fruit leather here!) And making jelly. What a great year for fruit! Go God!

We just made plans to go camping with some friends…so I’ll need to figure out my menu plans for that…FUN!
Thanks to Organizing Junkie for hosting Menu Plan Monday!
If you haven’t signed up for my giveaway…head on over and do that!
And…guess what?
I got me a new digital camera! Now you won’t have to see me in pictures like this. And…my new camera will let me take several minutes of video! For a LONG time, I’ve wanted to be able to put video tutorials on my blog for you. Hopefully I’ll be able to figure all of that out and post one soon!
So, what I wanna know is…what are you most interested to see on a tutorial video? (Just don’t ask me to stand on my head while chewing gum and singing Oh Susanna…I can’t do it.) (You’ll have to pick a different song.)

Video - mozzarella cheese. What? You don’t have to sing anything . . .
OK, realistically (since it might take a while to condense THAT into a several-minute video), your faithful readers will view anything you toss up there for us and be happy about it. :>)

Great looking menu, Laura! I’d love to hear how the fruit leather comes out too. Do you have a dehydrator or?
