"apple sauce" news and stories

Not sure what to do with your hand blender?

I'd never actually made my own applesauce before, but I'd purchased some fresh-made from the deli at my local grocery a few weeks back, which got the idea in my head. And I had a couple of apples that I hadn't felt like eating raw, and so I decided to attempt to make some applesauce of my own. I jumped into the project with a half-remembered recipe and only what I had in my own kitchen. And the results were pretty tastey, if I may say so myself -- though I'm likely to tweak the recipe when I try it again (too much sugar -- making it a better dessert topping than a snack).

Words to eat by's writer, Debbie, is often a diet-minded food blogger, which makes her site a great reference for a delicious but not-as-bad-for-you cake or cookies. She knows, however, that certain things only happen once a year and they should not be skimped on. Her latke recipe is one of her once-a-year recipes and though its simplicity may belie the delicious taste of the results, Debbie's photo certainly does not. One look at it and I can taste the hot, oil crisped potato pancakes yielding to a moist, tender center in latke perfection.
Happy Hannukah, everyone!
