Two English Walnut trees grace the front yard of the old home place where my parents live and my grandparents before them. These trees were planted by my grandparents who prized the nuts for baking. Many memories were made picking up the walnuts with my grandmother and spreading them in the attic to dry. Over the winter months my grandfather would sit at the kitchen table shelling them.Â
Our family loves rice made many different ways. There are times when I want rice with Sweet N Sour Fried chicken and that is where this recipe comes in. It is so delicious!! My nephew is in mission/relief work in Nepal and keeps me supplied with saffron. Saffron is an expensive spice but a little goes a long way and I do use it in certain dishes.

Here is a moist cupcake that is so handy to take along to picnics and potlucks in the summertime. And, yes, you can eat pumpkin items all year long, not just in the fall.
Are you in need of a tasty budget-friendly meal? This dish combines ground turkey and beef to cut down on the cost and you really don’t even notice it. Riced cauliflower is very easy to make with a food processor and you can use the entire head not just the florets. There are times that I will add cooked brown rice and corn to this dish for a THM Crossover for my working men.

**The pie crust has a tendency to be fragile. I make sure the bottom crust has all the seams sealed. If the top crust has a few holes as pictured below that is okay.

This past weekend as I watched snowflakes swirling past the window, all I could think of was — I’m not ready for fall to be over with the colorful leaves, apples, and pumpkins. But just as God has promised there will always be the cycle of seasons, after fall comes winter. My teacher daughter was given 4 huge neck pumpkins by one of her student. These pumpkins make the best pies and if you are in a crunch for time this recipe tastes just like a pumpkin pie. I love that it is so easy to make without the hassle of rolling out pie crusts.

If you grew up in the rich Pennsylvania Dutch heritage like I did, puddings made with cornstarch were a staple in many homes. Many of our grandparents had a family cow or milked cows for an income. Caramel Pudding has always been a favorite in our family and my late mother-in-law made the best pudding. She always browned the butter and caramelized the brown sugar she used. Brown butter is another Pennsylvania Dutch practice that most of us grew up with and is unheard of in other areas. This recipe has satisfied my craving for the traditional sugar laden pudding my grandma would make.
Old-Fashioned Caramel Pudding THM-S
Combine milk and cream together, set aside. In a 2 quart sauce pan melt butter over medium heat. Cook butter until it is golden brown. Add sweetener. Cook 2 minutes. Add 1 3/4 cups of the milk mixture to the saucepan. Heat to just about boiling point. With a hand blender, blend the remaining milk mixture, eggs, and glucomannan together until smooth. Add 1/2 cup of hot milk and blend again. Whisk egg mixture into the saucepan. Whisk until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat. Whisk flavoring, salt, and molasses. Soften gelatin in water for 5 minutes. Whisk into hot pudding. Cool. Serves 4-6.
Use the larger amount of gelatin for a firmer set.
I blend the pudding with my hand blender after I add the gelatin for an extra smooth creamy texture!

Crisp, cool, windy days with autumn leaves swirling to the ground call for hot coffee, teas, and lattes. On days like this I find myself reaching for my coffee cup way to often. This creamy London Fog Latte has replaced my afternoon cup of coffee for the time being. I love that it is a Fuel Pull and it is so very tasty, too.
