According to Bill, today is National Pecan Pie Day….I always make one for Christmas, so maybe it’s time for “Christmas in July”!

I always post my Monday routine of LAUNDRY CORN BREAD AND PINTO BEANS, and today I got this as one of the responses. I love the idea and am going to try it just as soon as I get the chance.

The chipmunks were nice enough to leave me a few ripe strawberries, so today I had enough to make a pint of yummy strawberry preserves. They will be awesome with some buttered biscuits!

First cucumber of the year is almost ready to pick. Waiting patiently/impatiently!!

Good morning and Happy Saturday from the Kitchen!

Rhubarb really did well this spring due to all the rain. I will be making this today.

I ran across this today and thought it might be helpful to someone. I haven’t tried any of them yet so I can’t vouch for them.

I have had this recipe since the mid-50s. It is very different from carrot cakes made in recent years. I hope you like it!

Cook’s note: be sure to use BLACK walnuts or you won’t get the same product.

Absolutely scrumptious! You’ll love it!
