It’s that time of year when everyone’s thoughts turn to “EVERYTHING PUMPKIN”!
This is one of my favorite pumpkin desserts.

(Stay-tuned. This might take a while) I’m also going to make an attempt to put this in the ‘RECIPES’ section.

This cake is wonderful made from scratch using the recipe from either the Betty Crocker or Better Homes and Gardens cook book.

I serve it with cherry or strawberry Jello/fruit cocktail salad. and vanilla ice cream.

Let’s give this a try and see if comments are allowed.

Nothing like a good rib eye cooked to perfection on the grill!

Some days a good tummy filling country meal is in order.
Today was one of those days.
Sauerkraut and wieners, country fried potatoes straight from the garden,
cucumbers and sliced onions also straight from the garden, corn bread
and pinto beans cooked to perfection.
Yum!

BLTs are one of the most popular sandwiches in the world.

Here’s how to make the perfect one!

Start with four strips of a good quality bacon.
Place them in a large, non-stick skillet in basket weave pattern.
Fry until crisp but not burned!

My kitchen needs a complete overhaul.
But first, cake!

I couldn’t decide whether this should be a garden post or a kitchen post, since the potatoes were dug specifically for potato soup (requested by grandson Zeke.)
This is one hill of potatoes from this year’s crop….nearly 4 pounds. I’m quite pleased with the yield.

Potato soup it is!!!

Nothing is more frustrating than getting in the middle of a recipe and finding that you have run out of an ingredient. I try my best to keep well-supplied with everything needed to put that perfect dish on the table, but sometimes I slip. It doesn’t help that I have three more cooks that use my kitchen and no matter how much I preach, they use the last of something and put the jar/bottle back on the shelf empty!

Fresh veggie time is just around the corner and I definitely want to be ready, so this coming week my kitchen is getting a complete overhaul!

Wish me luck!
