My Firsts

I made my first, all from scratch, apple pie! It was a process that's for sure! I made the crust with Butter Flavored Crisco instead of lard and it turned out perfect! I made the dough for the crust in the morning and put it together in the afternoon. I have one very cool tool in my kitchen that does make this process a lot easier. It's a Pampered Chef - Apple-peeler-corer-slicer!


Here is a picture before the pie went into the oven.


And after....


Here are some pictures of the soaps I have made so far. I've used the Honey Bunches of Oats, and the Basic Soap. I LOVE-LOVE-LOVE them!

This is just a basic soap with a lavender scent. This one if for the girls!
