Angel Food Cakes are a delicious fluffy light dessert to add to any meal. These cakes are primarily made with egg whites, flour, and sugar. Did you know that you can make a sugar-free, gluten-free version that bakes and taste just like a regular one? And by adding extracts you can have any flavor you prefer.
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.
Have you ever wanted breakfast eggs with a different twist? Try Shaksuka eggs. They are an absolutely delicious Israeli style egg dish with cumin and smoked paprika. I love it for something different.
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!
Preserving Food and large gardens/orchards have been a way of life for my family for generations. Rows of jars lined canning shelves and freezers were full of food by summer’s end.
Tomato products have always be a favorite of many people, including myself to can. Pizza Sauce is a must at our house. This sauce is made without sugar and chock full of veggies. I love to make pizza using sourdough crust! In fact we rarely buy pizza since we prefer this homemade version.
Blueberries….are one of the easiest berries to take care of. When we purchased this property there were 6 blueberry bushes along the woods. I do have to compete with the birds some years especially when it is dry. My blueberry bushes provide me with gallons of fruit with very minimal care. There isn’t any peeling or pitting, just pick the berries and eat them!!!
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!
