Apples. That's what we've been up to the last few weeks. How about you? Oh, and the children really like eating the Grilled Cheese and Apple Sandwiches for breakfast or a snack.
It probably isn't very "Amish", but it is so simple and easy, you should try it.
My mom used to make these for our breakfast every Fall.
Grilled Cheese & Apple Sandwiches
Bread
Butter
Swiss Cheese (or any white cheese)
Thin Slices of peeled apples
Cinnamon & Sugar mixture.
For each sandwich: Butter one side of two slices of bread. Place one slice of bread, buttered side down, on hot skillet. Place a slice of cheese on top of bread, followed by a few thin apple slices, and sprinkle with Cinnamon-Sugar. Top with the second slice of bread (Buttered side up). Use spatula to carefully turn sandwich over, grilling both sides until cheese is melted and bread is lightly toasted. Eat warm! Yum!
We have made this with Jack cheese, provolone, farmer cheese and butter cheese. They are all good. I hope you give it a try!


God Bless,

I Think I CAN

Cherries! Everywhere I look, I see cherries! I am up to my elbows in Cherries!

Mommie and my sisters, Josie and Caroline along with my sister-in-law Etta Sue are coming down to help me can today. I think the children and I have picked over 50 lbs of cherries from the trees so far, and that's what actually made it into the pales. That should give about 22 or 23 qts of cherries. Except I think we will probably end up doing about 7 qts of cherry pie filling. I'll ask the girls and see what they want to do, since I always divide them up for each to take a share home.

Speaking of canning, Etta Sue was telling me over the 4th of July weekend that she cans grapefruit. Have you ever heard of that? I'll be... Grapefruit...
