A true friend is someone who reaches for your hand and touches your heart

I have several true friends whom I can trust and who have touched my heart.  True friends are hard to find but well worth the search.  They are people you can go to with anything or nothing and be happy and blessed.  You will know a true friend when you find them ~ one who doesn't judge you no matter what you say or do.  One who listens and doesn't have to give advice but will if asked and who will tell you the truth when you need to hear it.

Share some time today with some of your true friends.  Make time for your true friends today -- call them or email them or what ever you want to do.  Even if it's just hello ~ make the time to do it today.  You will be blessed for it.

Super Bowl always brings people around - especially if you have good food to serve : )

Happy Sunday ~

Slow Cooker Apple Crisp  

Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 pinch salt
1/2 cup butter, cut into pieces
1 cup chopped walnuts 
1/3 cup white sugar, or to taste
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
6 cups apples - peeled, cored and chopped
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Directions:
1. Mix flour, brown sugar, 1/2 cup of white sugar, 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl. Combine butter with the flour mixture using fingers or a fork until coarse crumbs form. Stir in walnuts and set aside.
2. Whisk together 1/3 cup sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. Place the apples in a slow cooker, stir in the cornstarch mixture; toss with lemon juice. Sprinkle the walnut crumb topping on top. Cover and cook on High for 2 hours or Low for 4 hours, until apples are tender. Partially uncover the slow cooker to allow the topping to harden, about 1 hour.
