I can’t resist a flat-lay shot!
How many times do you find yourself looking at the ingredients of something and think, “I can make that myself!?” I do that a lot!!! So, I usually take a picture of the ingredients, write them on my list for the next grocery shop, and find recipes or try make one up. I decided to do that for apple cider because A) I knew my house would smell amazing with apples bubbling in the slow cooker, and B)”Tis the season.
I absolutely love all the different seasons because I get to eat and drink accordingly. Salads and smoothies in the warmer months and soups and hot drinks in the cooler months. What other drinks do you want to see here at Rebelle Kitchen?

Pity you can’t see the deck that I have to sweep every day because my one-year-old son insists that I get the “brrrr” (brooms) out of the shed and sweep the deck. You do something once or twice and they hook on to it and make it into a routine every day! I’ve created a sweeping fanatic! Ahhhhh.
