Thanksgiving is just around the corner! This Garlic and Herb Roasted Turkey will wow you guests with its taste and presentation. Another side bonus is, your house will smell wonderful while this is turkey is roasting. The broth from roasting the turkey makes the best gravy.
Crisp, juicy apples in shades of green, yellow, and red are being picked in orchards these late summer days. Their flavors vary from tart to honey sweet. In our area freshly picked apples begin to appear at produce markets in late July and continue being picked until late October. Fried apples are so easy to make and the Brown Sugar Sweetener caramelizes on them for a melt-in-your-mouth goodness. I was gifted Granny Smith Apples and the combination of tart/caramelized is so appealing.
If you are like me–you wish peach season would last longer. This fluffy cheesecake features peaches. Even better yet, it is a no-bake dessert so you don’t have to turn your oven on. The walnuts in the crust add a delightful crunch and pair with the smoothness of the filling. There are so many peaches varieties to pick from but my favorites for fresh eating are Red Haven, Sun High, and Contender.
Who is anxious for luscious, juicy, sun-kissed strawberries? I, know I am. Quart boxes piled full of berries in rows at roadside produce stands signal that summer has arrived in all it splendor. This cake tastes just like my Grandma’s Angel Food cake many years ago. The cake layer is a FP and can also be topped with a fat-free Greek Yogurt filling for a FP Dessert. The recipe as a THM S and has the FP option listed, also. This is a winner with our family.
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.

Cleaning out the remains of my garden this fall, I had a small bucket of Jalapenos to use up. Maybe I was being lazy but I didn’t want to take the time to can them. This recipe saved my day. It can be made in a very short time and best of all, they are so delicious. The Jalapenos are not super hot like you would imagine but have a mild sweet flavor. I may even have to buy some Jalapenos this winter to replenish our supply!
Refrigerator Pickled Jalapenos
Wash and slice Jalapenos, discarding the tops and stems. Pack into a quart jar. Fill the quart jar with water and shake to loosen some seeds. Pour the out the water and discard. Combine 3/4 cup water, vinegar, salt, and Gentle Sweet together. Stir until salt and Gentle Sweet are dissolved. Place garlic cloves and oregano on top of the jalapenos. Pour brine in to fill the jar. Add lid and ring. Store in the fridge for 2-3 weeks before using if you can wait that long.
These are so tasty on wraps, burgers, omelets, and just about anything. They have a sweet mild flavor and we just love them.

Canning and preserving food is in full swing these hot summer days. Preserving food for use in the winter months is so rewarding. Canned soups make a quick tasty meal and best of all you know exactly what is in it because you made it. I used bone broth that I made from beef bones to can this soup which is an added bonus in nutrients.
Raspberries are a delightful treat in mid-summer. I have both red and black raspberry patches in our orchard. Black Raspberries are my all time favorite and but the Red Raspberries are ever-bearing and give all summer. They do require some work with pruning but give a bountiful crop every year. My children love to walk through the patch and eat their fill when they are sent to pick.
