The Alley of Apple Awesomeness

How is that for a silly title? I had to try and top yesterday’s title…”The Perfect Parade of Pumpkin Possibilities…” Not sure I quite made it. 🙂 This morning, as I was sitting here enjoying reading some of my favorite blogs, I realized that I have bypassed other favorite fall…

Day 11 – Month of Thanksgiving…Surprise Visits

Today, I am thankful for family and unexpected visits. We received a great surprise phone call that my brother and three of his girls were going to be in town and wanted to come for a visit. Of course, we were thrilled and couldn’t wait for them to arrive. We…

“Packet Free” Hot Chocolate

We hosted a Bible Study group at our home last night. It was cold and rainy out and I had a few extra minutes so I whipped up some hot chocolate. It really hit the spot so I thought I would share it here! I hope you enjoy! Ingredients: 1/2…

Pumpkin Yogurt Parfaits with Cookie Crumbles

Pumpkin Pancakes…Yum!

Those cans of pumpkin are calling my name each day. This time they said…put me in pumpkin pancakes…ok, maybe they didn’t, but when I say the Pioneer Woman’s Pancake Post on her blog, I had to try them out. That is more accurate! 🙂 Ingredients (my adaptations are in parenthesis)…

Broccoli Soup with Veggies, Orange and Thyme

It was Saturday afternoon and lunchtime was approaching. What shall I make? We still had the broccolini in the fridge, romanesco (mild broccoli/cauliflower flavor) and the yellow peppers and a never-ending supply of kale…we had some onions, thyme growing in a pot on the window sill and seasonings in the…

Sage Salmon with Pear Cream Sauce

Last night I experimented with Salmon. It is our favorite fish and thankfully, it can stand up to some delicious flavors. My traditional preparation of salmon includes simply salt, pepper, lemon and olive oil. It is great too, but I needed something with fall flavors to go with the Stuffed…

As you may know from my post on Monday, there was delicata squash in the box this week. I enjoy squash, so I was excited to try this variety which was new to us. But, my excitement quickly decreased when I realized that it might not be a hit with…
