An Older [Foster] Cupcake Mom in an Apple World

It's been 13 years since we've had a first grader [Figgy] in the house. My, how things have changed. Maybe it's bc Fig didn't want to play soccer. For Punch's first game today, I was asked to bring a healthy snack, like fruit or crackers. Hence, 14 Honeycrisp apples coming up. I made sure to wash them all. Resisted urge to dunk in caramel and swirl with chocolate.; Have you noticed this change too? What's next, celery on Halloween?

  3. Well, Honeycrisps are the best of all! In Philly, I would say soft pretzels are the hot after-game snack. They're not as healthy as apples, but they're not processed, either. :)

  4. Eileen that is a great idea and so true to Philly! Where do you get them? Serve at room/field temp? Alice

  5. Well, we have soft-pretzel bakeries all over the place. Usually they are field temp by the time the game ends, but they are definitely best hot. Just caught up on your posts, and I hope your mother-in-law is OK!
