Goodness Me, it’s been TOO long! I miss you! When can we get together???! These muffins look SO yummy! Mmmm’Mmmmm! Baked apples = my fave taste ever. Cinnamon + Warm apples… Mmmm!

Miz- I like Erica’s idea, but I honestly am too lazy to clean things like a chopper so I prefer to dice them myself. This is how I do apples:

1. wash and cut into for segments
2. cut out the seedy part and peel
3. take each 1/4 and cut it into two pieces (top and bottom)
4. cut across the long way for all of them
5. cut across the short way next
6. remove one hand from the cutting board. with other hand with knife in tow just start chopping away.. in other words, i kind of just drive the knife down into the pile of apple, and every few seconds scoop the pile together so that I can chop more.

Does that make ANY sense?

I do the same pretty much with all fruits/veggies, but I also helped my mom growing up and learned how to avoid cutting myself and to do things quickly and efficiently (after many many years of cuts and such)
