Okay, I'm done for now. I'll try to get back to it later tonight.

I've tried a few recipes like this in the past. I particularly love apple fritters. Some of the other is more of an acquired taste which I've yet to acquire. Thanks so much for the recipes and ideas. I have a ton of apple butter that I made last fall... think I'll start setting it out on the table at meals.

**CrazyCat** · 03-13-2009, 01:17 PM

Thank you Thank you Thank you~!!!!!!

Suki, If you've never tired apple butter over cottage cheese give it a go. It is on every menu around here under vegetables to pick from to add to your supper. Sounds strange, but taste fantastic!
