Boost My Blog Friday 10/22



Today is Friday, that means it's time again to catch up with Boost My Blog Friday here on Design It Chic:

BoostMyBlogFriday


It's simple.. the only rule is: no rules!! That's right!! This blog-hop is supposed to be a boost in our blogs' asses... friends-wise:)!!
SO just make sure you link with us, follow me as the hostess (and leave me a comment so i know you follow me and return the love back:) and then feel free to follow whoever you want to, leave nice comments, send them love notes and chocolate boxes *WOW scratch that last part:P* and don't forget to do the happy dance!

If you join with us on Boost My Blog Friday, please take your time and leave a comment, so we know you're participating with us and maybe pay you a visit:) Thanks!




And as always, today I have another question for you guys:
What sweets recipes do you like to try around Thanksgiving or during fall in general?

I was always an advocate of pies here, but besides the already popular apple pies(for some odd reason we don't like pumpkin no more) we are huge fans of carrot cake!! Every year around Thanksgiving and long after that, during the Christmas, we have carrot cake around the house! It's true that it adds tons of calories.. but who cares, we'll get rid of that once the Holiday season has passed, right?:) Now what is your favorite recipe around the fall season?? Do share the sweet dish!!
Happy Friday!

And don't forget to check Blogger tutorials for more blog-handy tips and easy HTML tutorials, plus you can check SEO or Unclutter tips for more improving your web traffic secrets!:)


If you follow me from any of these hops or something else, let me know so i can come check your blog back;)

And don't forget to sign up our awesome retro-modern giveaway while it still lasts! I'm out now! Peace!

Hello,

I am following you and have joined in with your hop today. Thanks for hosting. As for sweet receipes, I have to be honest and say I rarely bake anything sweet apart from classic sponge cakes and maybe rock cakes with the kids. I have a real problem with food so stear clear of sweets!

Have a great weekend. Mich x

Great idea! I'm looking forward to checking out some new blogs!

Arlee Bird said...

It looks like you offer some very helpful information on your site and I will be checking it out in more depth later. My posts are preschedule several days in advance so I won't be linking today on my blog, but I plan to do a piece in the future where I will link your blog and include the buttion from today's post.

The only "sweet" that I fix on Thanksgiving is a simple casserole of sweet potato casserole topped with loads of marshmallows.

Here is one of my favorite fall recipies!!!

CROCK POT APPLE BUTTER




Approximately 3 lb. apples

3 cups sugar

2 tsp. cinnamon

1 tsp. nutmeg

1/2 tsp. allspice

1/2 tsp. cloves

Dash of salt

3/4 cup water or fresh apple cider



Fill Crock-pot 3/4 full with peeled, cored and sliced apples. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until evenly mixed. Cover and cook on low setting overnight or until the butter is of a thick, spreadable consistency.

If apple butter has too much liquid, remove lid and cook on high until thickened. Stir often as butter thickens to prevent scorching.



Store in refrigerator for up to 6 weeks. Freeze for longer storage.



Variation: For a less sweet apple butter, substitute 1 cup honey for the sugar.



To can the apple butter, pack into hot jars leaving 1/4-inch headspace and process in a boiling water bath for 10 minutes.

Xenia said...

I guess it's not a recipe since we don't make them at home, but my husband always loves the large, caramel and candy-covered apples that our nearby grocery store sells in the fall. He gets so annoyed if he goes there to buy one and they're all sold out!

Thanks for the fun blog hop, it's always a blast! Have a great weekend!

Hi! It's my first time here ~ thanks for hosting :-) I end up making bars around Thanksgiving and Christmas: Chocolate PB Bars and Monster Bars. They're too rich to make except for special occasions.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. I joined along with your blog hop and added your button to my Friday Blog Hop Post. I will follow your blog when I have the time to deal with Internet Explorer (my computer has issues with following in Google Chrome ever since my son started a blog)
Thanks for the tips to increase blog traffic. I agree with your point about rewarding readers. I have yet to figure out how though. Also confused about the FavIcon. I am not very computer savvy.
I'm looking forward to checking out some of your previous and future tips.

I love all your helpful tips! I have a tough one for you (well maybe not real tough for you!). Is it possible to write HTML code to scroll my blog labels? I hate those word cloud things, and my label list is getting too long on the page, but I don't know any other option.

Thanks!
