Winter-spiced Apple Sauce (slow cooker)
This homemade applesauce is made multiple times in my kitchen in the fall and winter. The aromas from whole spices are other worldly delicious.. If you aren't sure that apple sauce can be indulgent, give this slow cooker spiced version a try. And if you have a vanilla bean hanging out in your pantry or have a special occasion, slice it open and drop it in for truly swoonworthy applesauce experience.

Burdock Root Pickles
These gnarly roots can be wild foraged or store bought. If you choose to wild forage them, please do so safely and ensure you are 100% confident you've properly identified the root. With centuries of medicinal and culinary use, burdock is a root you don't want to pass by. The blood cleansing, liver protecting, anti-inflammatory benefits are just a bonus to what's packaged inside these brine-y, crunchy pickles. Eat them as you would any other pickle! They should last up to a month in the refrigerator. You can also steam can them if you decide to make a bigger batch for shelf storage.

Maple-glazed Walnuts
Such a simple snack and way to mix up the flavor in place of plain nuts. I'll grab a handful of these for a quick snack around the house, add them to salads, crumble them over roasted Brussels sprouts, or have them in my backpack when I'm out and about, or on the trail.
