Fall Flavors
Apples are a delicious part of a fall diet! Try these unique ideas of how to use this fruit:
– Use apples instead of bread for a twist on a peanut butter and jelly sandwich
– Create adorable shapes by using cookie cutters
– Try sprinkling cinnamon on apple slices to add another dimension of flavor
Autumn Acorn Vase
This simple DIY Acorn Vase is a great way to get your kids involved with yard work!
- Have your children go outside and collect all the acorns they can find. It is fun for them and clears your yard of those pesky acorns.
- Heat the acorns on a cookie sheet at about 200 degrees for 30 minutes. This is to rid the acorns of any leftover bugs that might have been nesting inside.
- Using a hot glue gun, glue the acorns to a plastic container.
- Once it dries, add fresh flowers from Beneva to complete your project
