In Season Recipes

We canned peaches and then made a peach pie, very good!  I just freeze peaches with a little sugar and then make crisps in the winter.  We also canned tomatoes and them made hot pepperjelly, we like it with crackers and cream cheese!  Love all the fresh veggies and fruit this time of year! We picked wild apples today and will make applesauce tomorrow.

You'll have fun after the holidays planning the (v) garden for 2014.

I'm interested in garlic cloves infused in honey for colds.

You're out & about, with a wedding in the near future!

Chunky Cheese Muffin Bread

2 cup white flour

1 cup whole wheat flour

1 tbsp baking pwder

1 tsp salt

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

1/8 tsp black pepper

4 oz aged chedder

1 egg

1 1/4 cup milk

3/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt or sour cream

3 tbsp butter, melted

Lightly spray a loaf pan with oil and preheat oven to 350

Mince jalapeno pepper, using an amount that's to your taste. Omit if wanted. Combine with dry ingredients in a bowl. Cube the cheese and mix in.

Beat an egg in 2nd bowl and stir in remaining wet ingredients.

Combine the wet ingredients with dry, using a minimum number of strokes...don't over stir. Scrape into loaf pan and bake for about 40-50 minutes.

Cool before slicing. Great with chili...

( going to add small amount of diced pepperoni sausage for the next loaf)

thanks for the warm welcome back Teka..have been lurking occasionally but not posting anything...going back to work after a year off on Tuesday...am I ready??? mixed feelings but I know I have to just plunge in headfirst...hope that my feet can take all the standing that I have to do...at least they will let me wear open-toed sandals...and give me a stool to sit on if I get too tired...(not working a full 5 days..just 4 to start with)

Teka thanks for the beutiful morning glory, very nice!  The fence is nice we have guards to put over some of our veggies like beets but teh ground hogs got in there and took a bite out of every beet, ohwell it was my second cropbut was sure looking forward to soem roasted beets! Fresh peach pie is good.

Pands, thanks for the recipe sounds good with chilli, I have a cornemal bread one that is similar too.  Good luck going back to work. 

Marilyn, glad you are on the mend. The cauliflower gratin sounds good, we have some cheddar cauliflower, they are orange and sweet staritng so will try when they are ready.  Keeping up with canning and garden keeps me sane with all this stuff going on!  Besides I really enjoy it, we have been eating very good lots of fresh veggies and fruits and of course some good desserts but we are working harder!!

All my results are back and all is benighn so we are doing the happy dance.  They think teh very large polyp, 2" may have been casued by the tamox so doing blood work and may go on aridimex (spelling)

Hope everyone is enjoying the summer, we are time to spend sitting on the lawn swing and walking in the woods!

Good to hear from you Marilyn!  We are picking away at fall cleanup but still finishing up some canning, don'y know why guess I hate to throw it out but we have LOTS of food put up!  Started the mixed grape wine, we picked and then destemmed around 50# Saturday, good start.  Next week we will use the later grapes to make juice, teh 6 of October is Apple day where my nieces and their families come to make cider and I make a big apple crisp.  It is fun, the kids are getting older so we will try bobbing apples with them, should be a hoot if nothing else! They will all ransack teh garen with teh final goodies and then After Apple Day the canning shack is officially closed! Good garden this year, made lots of salsas, hot pepper jelly, hot pepper "candy", very good, a mixture of peppers I use hot and sweet, cider vinegar, sugar, celery seed and mustard seed, bring all to a boil until syrupy, can or put in fridge.  The watermelons are beginning to ripen, the pumpkins are turning, the  garden is winding done but still lots of goodies.  WE are enjoying cheddar cauliflower, a orange variety and lots of broccoli so a few versions of broccoli soup.  WE have so many varieties of pickles we should be good for a couple of years!  I get carried away so next year smaller vegtable garden, so more time to work on teh flowers.  A good rose year they are pretty, having issues with pictures so can't send any but will work on it this winter.

Marilyn, that looks like an incredible recipe. Thank you for sharing.

I hope everyone here is enjoying the lovely fall weather.

Hugs

Mandy
