With Thanksgiving right around the corner what better than to enjoy the holidays while avoiding the cold, snowy winter weather in Encinitas, CA. Enjoy some beautiful ripe, red apples from the Garden of Eden Organics Store in the beautiful Encinitas, California. One of my favorite recipes is the Harvest Apples. Visit the Encinitas Neighbors California for the exchange of recipes with fellow Encinitas residents. If you are truly an apple fanatic make sure to visit the Julian Fall Apple Festival in nearby San Diego.
