Thanks Beverly and Taffy Apple Salad Recipe!


So on a GREAT tip from Mrs. Beverly (she would be the second half to the MOST understanding Aunt and Uncle ever) I dropped the kiddos off at school grabbed my Mom and her GPS and headed towards the first Real Deal Home Decor I could find. It did not disappoint! The place was huge and I found some really neat stuff for my mantel. The closest one to me was in Jefferson and it was not as far as I thought so we got their a little early. We found a cute little coffee shop that had biscuits so were game. Seriously, I have no idea why these things were so good but they were probably the best one I have ever had! Afterwords we found the absolutely CUTEST pharmacy I have ever seen. I think we stepped back in time. I was looking for Opie....They even had a little counter in the back for lunch. I loved it! So, all this to say Thanks Beverly for the great tip, that place was awesome! I'm still going to have to go back for my kitchen table centerpiece though. Another excuse!
For those of you who wanted the Taffy Apple Salad Recipe here it is. I have always loved this. It is so easy and quick to do. Enjoy:
4 cups Granny Smith Apples
1/2 c. pineapple juice
1/2 c. sugar
1tbs. flour
1 egg-slightly beaten (beat this thing to DEATH, or else it will cook when you do the simmer part)
2tsp. Apple Cider Vinegar
1 8oz Cool Whip
1 cup chopped peanuts
Mix flour, sugar, pineapple juice, egg and vinegar in a pan. Simmer till thicken, let cool. Mix cool whip with thickened mixture thoroughly, add apples and 1/2 peanuts.
Put in serving bowl and sprinkle remaining peanuts on top. Chill and serve. Do not make to far in advance.
Take to family you love and enjoy!
