Autumn is here! If any one food really represents autumn, it is the apple.
10 Minute Apple Sauce
Ingredients
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
3 Fuji apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
1 cup unfiltered apple juice
2 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Directions: In a sealable microwave-safe container, combine apples with all other ingredients. Close lid, leaving one corner of lid open to allow steam to escape. Microwave on high for 10 minutes. Using a hand blender or potato masher, blend to desired consistency. Serve hot immediately or chill for later
This is another inexpensive receipt for Pork from Shannon.She used the boneless pork loin that was on sale, but would also work with pork butt or would also work for inexpensive cuts of beef.

Rice is Nice
A pound of dry white rice costs between 3 to 6¢ per serving and can be easily added to casseroles, soup, and stews. I just looked at the Nutrition Label on my cheap white rice and I discovered that a 1/4 cup of rice has no fat, 3 g of protein and lots of B vitamins. So here are a bunch of speedy recipes which take only about as long as it takes to cook your rice. They are tasty, healthy, quick, and inexpensive.
If you enjoy rice pilaf, making it from scratch takes as much time as making a prepackaged Rice Dish, but for one third the cost. Steamed rice is great with stir fried veggies and meat tips, and can be used to make rice pudding.Curried Rice: My favorite! With your boiling or steaming rice, add a few sliced scallions, pea pods and baby carrots if you have any or all of them; skip if you don't. Season with a few tablespoons of grated ginger root or one tbsp. of ground ginger, two teaspoons of curry powder and a little salt. Fried Rice: Cook some rice with baby carrots. Add fresh mushrooms toward the end. Optional: Cut up some partially thawed chicken breast and sauté in butter or oil and garlic. When chicken is no longer pink, pour and simmer in some chicken broth, chopped onions or scallions with the chicken. Crack two eggs in and stir and cook until they are 'stringy'. Blend with cooked rice mixture. Season with soy sauce. You can skip the chicken and simply simmer the chicken broth with mushrooms.Spanish rice: Very Easy! Mix your favorite salsa in with cooked rice. I told you it was easy. Sprinkle some shredded cheese and microwave if you need more protein another step!Divine rice: When you make the rice, use a package of French onion soup mix in the water. When the rice is cooked, add a can of mushroom soup. This is great with pork chops or chicken legs and thighs. Rinse the meat and add a few cups of water and 1 cup of uncooked rice. I add 1-2 cans of cream soup depending on the amount of meat. I sprinkle on one envelope of onion soup mix and bake for about 1-2 hours at 325 to 350 degrees.
