There are so many different ways to make apple dumplings that it is overwhelming. I have tried the recipe that uses crescent rolls and mountain dew and we love those but wow are they ever sugary. I ran across this recipe one day while flipping through an old cookbook. Once I saw it, I just knew it was something I needed to try.
Peel your apples. Any apple will do, we prefer Granny Smith apples.
Mix your apples, bisquick and milk.
Once it is all mixed up it looks a little weird but trust me, it’s gonna be good.
Pour the water, sugar and cinnamon over the apple mix once it has come to a boil.
Bake for 25 minutes at 450 degrees.
Wasn’t that easy? A great dessert in no time and even better with a scoop of ice cream on top.
This is the easiest recipe I have found for apple dumplings, and while the apples aren’t enclosed into a dough they are still considered dumplings. A couple of reasons that we really like this recipe is because it doesn’t taste so sweet. You get a great taste of the apples, not just bread and sugar. Another reason we like these is because they are so easy to make. Apples season is in full swing around here. As I drove through Ellijay the other day on my way to Hiawassee all of the Apple Houses were open and had cars lined up everywhere. That means the Apple Festival will be soon. I can’t wait!
APPLE DUMPLINGS
4-6 apples, peeled and sliced
1 cup baking mix (Bisquick)
1/3 cup milk
1 cup water
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
Mix the apples, baking mix and milk in a bowl. Pour into a greased baking dish (I used a round 3 quart dish but any will work) Bring the water, sugar and cinnamon to a boil. Pour it over the apple mixture and bake for 25 minutes at 450 degrees.

I absolutely LOVE my George Foreman Healthy Cooking Evolve Grill! I have come to rely on this one appliance more than all others lately. I had one of the first George Foreman grills that came out years ago and while I liked it, I wouldn’t use it much. It was too small to use for my size family and it was a pain to clean. The new grills, WOW. The plates are removable for easy cleaning, the cooking surface is perfect for my family and it cuts cooking times in half saving me TONS of time and with all of the different plates available it is so versatile. You can even throw the plates in the dishwasher! Yep, this is my kind of grill.
Now with temperature controls and timers, you can’t go wrong!

Back to school means backpack time! Kids love picking out backpacks with their favorite superheroes or Disney stars but overstuffed packs can take a toll on young bodies. Are your kids wearing their backpacks the right way? Parents should be aware that overloaded backpacks can cause back pain if worn improperly.
Dr. Andrew Casden, associate director of Beth Israel’s Spine Institute, says “overloaded backpacks can lead to fatigue, muscle irritation and tiny muscle tears that bring kids into the office with pain. Students should know the proper way to wear their backpacks to avoid pain.”
The good news is that most times the damage isn’t permanent and pain can be alleviated by minor behavior adjustments. Dr. Casden recommends the following 5 tips for children:
· Reduce the weight in the pack – weight should not exceed 20% of the child’s body weight.
· Bend at the knees, not at the waist when lifting heavy packs.
· Wear the backpack over both shoulders, not slung over only one.
· Place heavy items in the back of the pack.
· Consider a pack on wheels that can be dragged rather than carried.
Back pain in children is rarely serious, but should not be ignored either. If children complain of persistent pain, you should consult a physician to rule out any medical problems.
With school back in it is so important to make sure that your children’s backpacks aren’t overloaded. Kids don’t realize the weight that they are carrying around so it is our jobs as parents to monitor it for them. Just like monitoring time on a PS3 or other video game, monitoring their eating habits or monitoring their personal hygiene…making sure that they aren’t overloading their backs at such an early age is just as important.

It is back into the swing of things. School is back into session for the majority of us, including us homschool families. We just celebrated the last big fling of summer around here and while it is sad to see it go I am so thankful for the cooler temperatures.
The Summer Travel Giveaway Package from Topps Trading Cards and Bazooka Candy Brands is a great way to make sitting in the back seat, well, sweet! The package includes Topps Baseball Trading Cards, as well as some yummy treats like sugar free and regular Ring Pop lollipops, Baby Bottle Pop candy, Push Pops, and Juicy Drop Pops. While summer is “officially” over,Ring Pops make a great back seat treat for sitting in the pick-up line after school. They are great for eating and sharing with friends during recess. Or while sitting at the table doing that much dreaded homework.
While we are a homeschool family and homework isn’t normally something we take part in you can often find Tate with a Ring Pop or Push Pop in his mouth while he works on his schoolwork. It is a favorite treat around here that is used as a reward and for motivation. Erin has always been partial to the Juicy Drop Pops and Marissa loves the Baby Bottle Pops. I love that they are all very affordable even for the tightest of budgets.
The above picture was taken on what is the first day of school for all of the public schools around here. We have been back at school here in our home for over 2 months. This particular morning Tate had already been squirrel hunting and was halfway through his schoolwork and it was 10 AM. What is on his curriculum list this year? Chemistry, Algebra, English Literature, Geography, American History and Japanese. A pretty intense load. Along with the fact that he takes karate and goes 3-4 times a week we stay pretty busy.
So, you can bet that anytime you come over there is a stash of Ring Pops, Push Pops, Juicy Drop Pops and Baby Bottle Pops to keep him motivated, on task and happy that he has a treat in hand. One of our new favorites is the Sugar Free versions! Lower in sugar and calories with the same great taste.
TOPPS trading cards have been known for generations as THE cards to collect. I remember growing up my Dad always talking about his beloved Baseball Card Collection. I think almost every little boy has collected cards at some point in their lives and…
