The weather's still warm in my neck of the woods, but that hasn't stopped me from getting into the Autumn spirit! One thing I do at this time each year is make a trip to the apple orchard. Last Saturday, I packed my kids up and headed up to Hillcrest Orchards in Ellijay, GA. If any of y'all are in the area, I highly recommend stopping by! Their website is www.hillcrestorchards.net.

We had a great time, and came home with a bushel and a peck- literally... Don't ask me how a 5 year old and 3 year old managed to get that many, but they did, and they had fun doing it!

Now, I have to figure out what to do with all these! There is a recipe that's been on my list to try for a while, and now seemed like the perfect time to try it: Bacon Apple Pie- need I say more? I found this recipe at www.justapinch.com and it looked pretty simple. I'm always looking for recipes without a lot of prep time! I assembled my ingredients and got to peeling! Whoops! I forgot to put the flour in the picture!

The most time consuming part of this was peeling all the apples. It took me about 10 minutes. FYI- You don't HAVE to peel them for this recipe, but I have picky eaters around these parts! I was so excited to get this treat in the oven and forgot to take a "before baking" picture- can you really blame me? Here I was staring at a little slice of heaven and a 45 minute wait time!

Boy howdy, it was worth the wait! I barely snapped a picture before digging in to this yummy goodness... I also may or may not have eaten a slice for breakfast this morning- What? There's bacon in there!

I will definitely be adding this to my dessert rotation- my kids loved it, and I did too! Of course, my family enjoys anything I make using Pederson's products. Give this recipe a try, and let me know what you think! I'd love to hear what your favorite bacon recipes are for Fall- Stay tuned- I may just try yours next!

Amy and Ciera have been working on a product catalog for Pederson's.  I thought they did a great job describing our process from farm to fork.

Gosh, I really don't even know where to start! The past year of my life has been amazing- I am working my dream job (selling bacon- does it get any better than that?), watching my sweet kids grow up before my eyes, and seriously living the American dream! I'm not the best at putting my thoughts in to words, but bear with me, here goes!

Will there be a bacon shortage? Will the drought cause food prices to rise? Should I stock up on bacon now?
