Date and Grape Mini Cheese BallsThis is a surprisingly good appetizer for the holidays.

 

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

Apple Cinnamon OatmealOatmeal is so filling, quick, and cheap! But oatmeal can get so boring! I like to "spice" it up every now and then to make it enjoyable again. One of the things I like about this recipe is that you can use your less than perfect apples that are starting to get a bit soft.
