Yesterday I made my first ever apple pie.  Now I know that apple pie is definitely not weight watchers friendly, but I never made one before and it was on my bucket list.  But what I do want to share with you is what you can do with the apple peel.

Be Prepared: Get into the habit of saving (rather than composting) your orange peels, lemon and lime peels, and apple and pear skins.

Let your imagination be the guide.  This is also a great way to make your kitchen smell like you have been baking all day.  Do this before guests arrive, this is better than any scented candle.

I hope you enjoy this non-recipe!  I transferred mine into this fondue pot, but you certainly don’t need to do that.

Enjoy your day!
