Fool-Proof Apple Pie

It seems like quite a few of my recipes are made for those of us with a love of baking but little talent towards it. I have tried so many different recipes and I would say 7/8 of them don't ever turn out like they should. But that is life, and life is frustrating.

I have an apple pie recipe for you today that is extremely simple. You just use your favorite pie crust recipe (mine is my Fool-Proof-Even-I-Can't-Screw-It-Up Pie Crust), cut up your favorite apples, sprinkle some sugar-flour-cinnamon mixture on top, finish it up with either a crumble or lattice top, and bake it until it is to the point of disintegrating.

My Dad always complains that whenever I cook potatoes, apples, or another hard fruit/vegetable that I never cook them long enough. He doesn't seem to like "al dente." He likes mush apparently. So I cook things longer than necessary, but an hour and fifteen minutes will do too here.



1. Start by cutting 5 to 6 cups worth of apples into slivers. Granny Smith, Pink Lady, and Honeycrisp work best.
2. Mix flour, sugar, cinnamon, and salt into a small bowl.

3. Lay apples on top of pie crust.

4. Sprinkle sugar mixture on top of apples. Make sure to push the sugar down into the crevices between the apples.

5. Sprinkle chunks of butter on top of the apples and sugar mixture.
6. Top the pie with another crust or a crumble.

7. Bake until the apples are fork tender or longer. Make sure you put something beneath the pie to catch drips.

Keto Protein Chia Pudding

Keto Protein Chia Pudding This is a really simple chia pudding recipe to get a little extra protein in the morning. It really does keep me full until lunch. I usually eat a handful of nuts after eating this with a couple glasses of water. It's been my current go-to for breakfast lately, since I crave sweet stuff in the morning and there isn't too many easy sweet breakfast dishes out there that I've found. It is a little higher with carbs though, but it's doable when you're watching your other meal macros. Nutritional facts (roughly): Servings 1 Calories 200  Protein 18g Fat 10g Carbs 5g Ingredients: 1 - 2 tbsp. Chia seeds (organic if you can) 1/4 - 1/2 cup Unsweetened almond milk 1/2 Cup full fat Cottage Cheese Sweetener of choice to taste Toppings or add-ins of choice (optional) Directions: 1. Literally just add everything into a bowl or tupperware. 2. Place in fridge and wait about an hour or until it becomes more gel- o

The Comprehensive Guide to Concert-Going Part 2: Mosh Pits

Hi and welcome to my second post detailing my concert experiences. Check out the first part of this mini-series  here  if you want to learn about venue sizes and how to get the best tickets and spots in line and on the floor. This second post in the series is all about mosh pits. Mosh pits can be scary to people who have never gone to a concert before, and some people don't know what a mosh pit is or what it entails. When I was getting ready to go to my first concerts, I did not understand what I mosh pit was either and did my best to find out how to avoid them before I went. If you are like me and are confused about how to handle being in or around a pit, I hope this post helps you out and be sure to let me know if you have any other questions or concerns in the comments below! And of course, let me know if I posted something that isn't correct. Mosh pits: I (at this point in time) try to avoid being near the mosh pits, but that is because I am pretty wild as is at con

What I learned at Warped Tour

Last week I posted my  Ultimate List of What to Bring to Warped Tour , and this week I have what I learned from my Warped date. Check out the link above if you are getting ready for your own date and want to know how to over-pack. This list isn't complete, but I wanted to out it out there for people to look at and learn from. I will add to it every once in a while as I think back to Warped Tours I have been to. I like to know what I am getting into, and I like to let other people know what to look for. I hope you don't mind all the details and enjoy the list as you think about your own experiences and hopefully future ones, too.  You will, hands-down, have one of the best days of your life, every year that you go. You will get sunburned. You will get funny tan lines. You will feel like passing out at some point because of dehydration or not eating (guilty). You have to lookout for crowd surfers and the mosh pit so that you don't get knocked in the head by a f
