Mini Mason Jar Apple Pies
I have a confession.... I do not like APPLE PIE.... I know, I know.... I'm unAmerican.... I've heard it all!
Regardless, I've found these fabulous, mini apple pies in mason jars that I'd love to make! They're so adorable and I think they'd look great at each table setting for the holidays, as well as, fantastic decor or favors for fall and winter wedding receptions!
I found this fabulous idea at Pure Wow!
Regardless, I've found these fabulous, mini apple pies in mason jars that I'd love to make! They're so adorable and I think they'd look great at each table setting for the holidays, as well as, fantastic decor or favors for fall and winter wedding receptions!
I found this fabulous idea at Pure Wow!
MAKES 6 MINI PIES
START TO FINISH: 1 HOUR 15 MINUTES
INGREDIENTS
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 Honeycrisp apples, peeled and chopped (or other baking apple, such as Granny Smith or McIntosh)
½ cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
½ teaspoon ginger
½ teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
2 packages store-bought pie dough (4 circles total)
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1½ teaspoons turbinado sugar
DIRECTIONS
1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Have ready six ¼ pint (½ cup) mason jars on a baking sheet.
2. In a large sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the apples and sauté until nearly tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
3. Add the sugar, flour, cinnamon, ginger, cloves and vanilla extract, and sauté for 2 minutes more. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
4. On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough until it is flat and slightly thinner than it originally was. Cut the dough into six 3-inch circles and six 2-inch circles.
5. Press a 3-inch circle into a mason jar, pressing it firmly to the base and sides and taking care not to poke holes in the dough. Trim any excess from the top edge with a paring knife. Repeat with the remaining 3-inch circles and jars.
6. Scoop the cooled filling into the pastry-lined jars, mounding it about ½ inch over the top rim.
7. Place the 2-inch rounds over the filling and tuck the edges under so they meet the edge of the jar. Crimp the edges with your fingers or a fork. Chill the pies for 10 minutes.
8. While the pies chill, whisk the egg and water together to combine. Brush the egg wash over each pie top, and then sprinkle the top of each with ½ teaspoon turbinado sugar. Cut small vents into the top of each pie with a paring knife.
9. Bake until the pies are golden brown, 20 to 25 minutes. Cool for at least 10 minutes before serving.

That lost time of my life when I left life as I knew it behind and entered into my lost world... The world of being disabled... I didn't know what to do with myself. It felt as if time had suddenly stopped for me and I didn't know what to or where to turn....
I found blogging!
I always loved my blogs. My personal journey I shared with strangers. I especially enjoyed review blogging and running giveaways. Fun for me and my followers! That's where I find myself now... After spreading my wings and learning and exploring a new way of reviewing through Amazon...
Now, I will merge it all and it is my hope that I can share it all as before, benefitting us all in some way....
Here at Girls With Goodies, we set our site up for pure pleasure... FOODS, ACTIVITIES, BEAUTY.... all the goodies that give us comfort, joy, happiness, excitement.... Pleasures of life!

Unique Gardening Idea
This
worked well for me for many years - it's a simple, weed-free way to
grow lettuce, spinach and even radishes. Take a 2 cubic feet bag of
potting soil (I used Miracle Grow),
rumple it around quite a bit to loose the soil, poke quite a few holes
in the back side for drainage, then lay the bag on a smooth surface that
will allow drainage and not get too hot, and cut out the top, leaving
about a 4 or 5 inch border all around. Lightly rake through the soil to
even it out and loosen it even more, then carefully, and evenly
sprinkle the seeds around. I put my salad green seeds in an old spice
bottle with large shaker holes, added some cornmeal, shook it all up to
mix well and sprinkled them out of it. I put the cornmeal in there to
allow me to see that I had covered the soil evenly. If doing radish
seeds or spinach, just make lines the depth mentioned on the seed pack,
plant the seeds and cover appropriately. For salad greens I sprinkled a
lite covering of soil over the cornmeal and seeds and then spray-misted
to water them in. I put my bags on metal sawhorses and grates to make
them waist level. This kept the bags off the hot concrete and I didn't
have to bend over when cutting my salad. When harvesting, just use a
pair of scissors and cut what you need - don't pull the plants out.
Same goes for spinach - they will grow back almost magically overnight,
and you can't tell where you cut. Spray mist the seeds and plantlings
at first when watering, until they are established, then you can water
more vigorously as the plants mature. You will probably need to water
more often, since the depth of the bags are not as deep as a regular
in-ground garden. I just kept mine moist, but not sopping wet.

80 Uses for Coconut Oil
Personal Hygiene/Body
1. Moisturizer – simply scoop some out of the jar and apply all over your body, including neck and face.
2. Eye cream – apply under the eyes to reduce puffiness, bags, and wrinkles. Use on the lids in the evening.
3. Preshave – coconut oil will prep skin for the pending damage caused by shaving.
4. Aftershave – coconut oil will help heal your skin after shaving without clogging pores.
5. Deodorant – coconut oil alone can be used as a deodorant, but even more effective in combination with cornstarch/arrowroot powder and baking soda!
6. Hair Conditioner/Deep Treatment – use as a leave in hair conditioner by applying a teaspoon of coconut oil to your ends and then running your fingers through your hair to distribute the rest! For a deeper treatment, rub in a tablespoon of coconut oil onto your dry scalp and gently work through to the ends. Put a shower cap on to prevent transfer onto bed linens and leave on overnight.
7. Hair Gel/Defrizzer – rub a little between your palms and either scrunch into hair (for curly hair) or finger comb in through from scalp to ends (for wavy/straight hair).
8. Toothpaste – there are numerous recipes out there but I just mix coconut oil and baking soda and dab a little of the mix on my toothbrush.
9. Make up remover – use a cotton swab and a dab of coconut oil and you would be amazed at how well it works!
10. Chapstick – just rub a little into lips and it not only acts as a softening agent but it also has an SPF of about 4 so you get a little protection!
11. Massage Oil – pretty simple; grab some and rub!
12. Lubricant – it is an all natural, perfectly safe personal lubricant. Not compatible with latex!
13. Sunscreen – see my post on natural sunscreen for more detailed information.
14. Stretch Mark Cream – coconut oil is great at nourishing damaged skin. It may not be the magic stretch mark cure but it will help.
15. Nipple Cream – works great to nourish cracked, sore, or dry nipples. Apply to a cotton ball and leave on your nipples between feedings.
16. Diaper salve – very comforting on a rashy bum with no harsh chemicals. Also safe for cloth diapers.
17. Cradle cap – having issues with dry skin on your baby’s scalp? Coconut oil will not only nourish your baby’s skin, it also helps eliminate cradle cap. Just rub a teaspoon onto scalp daily.
18. Body scrub – mix coconut oil and sugar together and rub all over! Rinse off and your skin will be super soft! You can add in essential oils if you would like a specific smell.
19. Healing – when applied on scrapes and cuts, coconut oil forms a thin, chemical layer which protects the wound from outside dust, bacteria and virus. Coconut oil speeds up the healing process of bruises by repairing damaged tissues. Plus, it smells a heck-of-a-lot better than anything from the pharmacy.
20. Bug Bites – when applied directly to a bug bite, coconut oil can stop the itching and burning sensation as well as hasten the healing process.
21. Skin problems – coconut oil relieves skin problems such as psoriasis, dermatitis, and eczema.
22. Swimmers Ear – mix garlic oil and coconut oil and put a few drops in affected ear for about 10 minutes. Do this 2-3 times a day and it usually works within one or two days.
General Health and Wellness
23. Stress Relief – relieve mental fatigue by applying coconut oil to the head in a circular, massaging motion. The natural aroma of coconuts is extremely soothing thus helping to lower your stress level.
24. Digestion – the saturated fats in coconut oil have anti-bacterial properties that help control, parasites, and fungi that cause indigestion and other digestion related problems such as irritable bowel syndrome. The fat in coconut oil also aids in the absorption of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, making you healthier all around.
25. Fitness – coconut oil has been proven to stimulate your metabolism, improve thyroid function, and escalate energy levels, all of which help decrease your unwanted fat, while increasing muscle.
26. Nose bleeds – coconut oil can prevent nose bleeding that is caused by sensitivity to weather such as extreme hotness and extreme coldness. This condition happens when the nasal passages become dry because of cold or dry air resulting to burns and cracks in the mucus membranes so bleeding happens. To prevent this just put coconut oil in you nostrils. Coat your finger with coconut oil and then lie down and coat your finger inside your nose. Doing this will strengthen and protect the capillaries in the nasal passages. A Vitamin C supplement will also help prevent nose bleeding.
27. For breastfeeding moms, consuming 3 ½ tablespoons of coconut oil daily will enrich your milk supply.
28. Helps with weight loss & controlling cravings.
29. Helps keep blood sugar levels stable and/or helps with cravings in those with diabetes.

Home Remedies for Earaches
Earaches can be caused by a number of different things. Foreign matter or water stuck within the ear canal can be a cause for infection, and subsequently, the discomforts which are associated with earaches. Earaches may also be caused by colds, fever, or even by lymphatic infections. Generally more common in children than in adults, earaches can sometimes be managed at home using all-natural remedies, the majority of which can be found in your pantry or cupboard. Here are ten great all-natural home remedies that can be found in your home kitchen, cupboard, or pantry:
1. Hot compresses – one of the most readily accessible remedies for earaches are hot compresses, which can be done simply by dipping a tea towel in hot water and carefully wringing out the excess. This can then be placed next to the affected area, usually upon the side of the face, just behind the lower jaw. Alternately, you can opt to use a hot water bottle for less hassle.
2. Herbal Poultices – for a more potent and near-instantaneous relief of earaches, you can opt to switch the hot compress with a hot herbal poultice made from a combination of crushed ginger root, bruised nettle leaves, crushed cinnamon bark, and bruised plantain leaves. These can be encased in cheesecloth, steamed, and subsequently applied to the affected area as a hot compress. It’s analgesic action acts faster than regular hot compresses and helps to relieve pain more efficiently. Apply as often as necessary, until the pain subsides.
3. Warm oil – warming a good quality vegetable-based oil such as coconut oil, olive oil, almond oil, jojoba oil until it’s warm to the touch and using a dropper to trickle small amounts of the substance into the ailing ear should readily cure an earache. It should be done preferably while you are lying down. If doing this for children, soothing conversation which coaxes them to keep still, and a firm hand to hold their heads in one place might help to hasten the process. Some have suggested to increase the medicinal benefits of this remedy by adding a drop of peppermint essential oil, one drop of rosemary essential oil, and one drop of oil of cloves to the warmed oil mixture, as this is considered an excellent antimicrobial oil. If you do this, ensure that only negligible amounts of essential oils are mixed with the base oil, and that you use this remedy only sparingly. One to two applications, a day apart from each other, is usually reported enough to elicit the desired therapeutic effect.
4. Onions – the juice of an onion, extracted by squeezing a whole onion through a sieve or strainer and collecting the extruded substance, makes for an excellent cure for earaches. You can simply siphon the onion juice in minute amounts into the ailing ear, or otherwise trickle it slowly using a funnel. It provides quick and lasting relief for nagging earaches.
5. Garlic – garlic is an ancient herb reputed for its myriad healing capacities and its powerful antimicrobial properties. As such, the juice of garlic, can, like the juice of onions, be employed as a remedy for earaches by employing it in a similar manner as you would the onion juice. In fact, both the garlic and the onion juice may be employed in conjunction with one another to elicit a more potent effect.
6. Ginger Root – ginger root is a great cure-all spice to always have in your kitchen cupboard. A natural antibacterial and analgesic, the juice extracted from ginger root can be employed as an instant pain-remedy for earaches. Alternatively, you can allow dried ginger root to macerate in oil, or otherwise heat raw ginger in oil and allow the mixture to cool to a tolerably warm temperature, and employ it as you would any oil-based remedy. Drinking a strong cup of ginger tea should also help with the pain management. When used in conjunction with the oil or juice remedy, it should help treat earaches in less than a day. You can even opt to combine the juice of ginger root, onions, and garlic for a more potent remedy which requires only a trifling dose to elicit near-instantaneous effects.
7. Licorice Root – a not-so-well-known earache remedy, licorice root can make for an excellent balm for earaches, especially recurring ones. To create an earache balm, warm some crushed licorice root in your choice of a base, whether it be shea butter, beeswax, cacao butter, or a mixture of any of the following, over a double boiler for ten to fifteen minutes; allow the infusion to cool and afterwards apply the mixture around the affected area and within the inner ear (but do not push into the ear canal), until sufficient relief is felt. Apply as often as needed until the pain disappears completely. You may increase the therapeutic properties of the balm by incorporating ground or sliced ginger into the mix for added anti-inflammatory and analgesic benefits.
8. Mullein – mullein is a traditional remedy for earaches employed since the Middle Ages, although its usage has somewhat dwindled with the advent of modernity. Because most of the mullein available in herbal stores and apothecaries nowadays are the dried variety, allowing it to macerate in an oil, which can then be kept for emergency purposes, should be kept on hand. If caught in a pinch, you can opt to heat dried mullein in your choice of base oil over a double boiler and allow it to cook sufficiently prior to application. You may also brew a very potent decocted reduction of mullein in apple cider vinegar, after which it can be applied directly to the affected area through the use of a funnel or a dropper. Mullein is a natural antimicrobial herb, which can help to prevent infections, thus avoiding complications.
9. Calendula – the oil of calendula or a maceration of calendula in apple cider vinegar (or any type of vinegar, the former being more preferred for its mild acidity) makes for a good earache remedy, especially if employed for mild earaches. Because calendula is a very mild (albeit highly powerful) herb, it is the prime choice for treating earaches in small children and in infants.
10. Ear Candles and Moxa – while this alternative remedy has mixed opinions when it comes to its efficiency, it must be noted that ear candles can also be employed as a remedy for earaches, and is often employed in Eastern alternative medicine shops, however, because its efficiency can be somewhat unreliable, its usage is left to your discretion. An alternative (and possibly more effective) means to treat earache is to employ moxibustion – a Traditional Japanese Herbal Medicinal practice that is similar to the practice of ear candles – wherein a practitioner burns a cylinder of sage placed into the ear’s orifice as one would incense, to elicit therapeutic benefits. Again, the employment of such remedies should be left to your discretion, as any of the given remedies above (with the exception of the tenth) should suffice for the alleviation of earaches.
As always, this is not medical advice and not substitution for consultation with a medical professional. With the exception of the use of base oils and the employment of poultices, caution should be used when using herbs or spices to treat earaches, as some individuals may be allergic to certain kinds of herbs or spices. It should also be noted that if an earache is serious or persists for more than three days, it is best to seek expert medical help to avoid the possibility of infections or complications. Likewise, when a ringing of the affected area is experienced, or if difficulties in hearing are observed, you should immediately seek professional help.
