Fall brings with it a harvest of winter squash and pumpkins. One of our favorite winter squash is the humble butternut squash. We love these roasted and eaten with butter and salt like a potato and if you have any leftover they can be made into this delicious bisque. This bisque is the perfect bend of sweet and spice for cool fall weather.
Warm, gooey, sticky buns, add a cup of coffee and you are all set for a delicious treat! If you are craving sticky buns that are guilt free…these are just for you.
Low Country Boil is a quick and easy one-dish to prepare. This simple dish can also called Frogmore Stew. What could be better than potatoes, corn, and onions from your garden added to this boil. Have your children husk the corn, scrub the potatoes, and dinner will be served in a jiffy. Better yet, lay newspaper on a picnic table, boil the stew outside over a campfire, drain, pour the boil down the center of the table, and you have an easy cleanup!
Sweet, juicy peaches herald the months of August and September. What could be better than a jar of homemade peach jam! Add some jalapenos for a spicy sweet jam and you have a winner!
Have you ever wanted to add a special gourmet touch to a hamburger or sandwich? I have just the item for you, Caramelized Onions? These sweet caramelized onions go great with any burger or even roast beef sandwiches. Try them, you will not be disappointed!
Peaches herald the month of August with their sweet juiciness. I could hardly wait until I could buy a basket for our local produce stand. Best of all, they had my favorite kind for fresh eating….Red Haven!
The summer herald of fruit is berries! I love all kinds of berries and blackberries is one of my favorites. Blackberries differ slightly from black raspberries as they do a bit of a soft stem in them.
One of the first perennials in the garden to come up in the spring is Rhubarb. These tart red stalks are delicious combined with strawberries in a dessert.
Mother’s Day is rapidly approaching. What mother doesn’t love flowers and candy? So why not combine the two! These delicious Strawberry Cream Chocolate Roses have a wonderful strawberry flavor and a lovely eye appeal. It’s flowers and candy all in one!
Sourdough Cornbread made with Masa Cornmeal and topped with sauted veggies is so good served with a piping hot bowl of chili. Hidden in the bread is some sweet corn which give it a wonderful texture. In my thinking, cornbread must always be served with some diced jalapenos.
