Chicken Corn Chowder
Tara on Oct 31st 2011
We love to eat lots of soup during the cooler months. I usually wear the family out with a small rotation of soups each winter. This winter, I’m adding Chicken Corn Chowder to our family favorites. This recipe was inspired by The Pioneer Woman, but I varied it some by adding chicken and bacon drippings. […]
Homemade Pimento Cheese
Tara on Oct 27th 2011
My husband is a big fan of Pimento Cheese. I remember his mother packing him pimento cheese sandwiches for lunch when we were in high school. She makes the best I have ever tasted and in case you are wondering, hubby and I were high school sweet hearts. Here is my feeble attempt to match […]
Crock Pot Pumpkin Butter
Tara on Oct 24th 2011
I had never given much thought to Pumpkin Butter until recently. To break the rainy month blues one Saturday evening, we loaded up the kids and drove to Cool Springs just to roam around for a while. I had a few moments to myself, and the aroma pouring out of WILLIAMS SONOMA drew me inside […]
Roasted Pumpkin Seeds – Candied Pumpkin Seeds
Tara on Oct 19th 2011
Very soon there will be a lot of pumpkin carving and massacring at our house, which means there will be a lot of pumpkin seeds. We couldn’t bear to throw away such a delicacy as pumpkin seeds. They are tasty and loaded with nutrients and our kids love them! So this fall, before you carve […]
Easy Chicken Pot Pie
Tara on Oct 18th 2011
Here is another cold weather favorite of ours. Ya’ll know me well enough by now to remember I cook a lot with organic ingredients. But sometimes, I deviate from what I preach, and bring some “processed” items home to the pantry. I love to keep Chicken Pot Pie ingredients handy in the winter, because I […]
Meatless Monday -Loaded Sweet Potato
Tara on Oct 17th 2011
Here’s a pleasing side dish that is much easier to make than sweet potato casserole and is a tasty way to welcome fall. Just wash some large sweet potatoes, and wrap them in foil. Then bake them at 425 degrees for about an hour, until potatoes are soft when you squeeze them. Next remove foil, […]
Autumn Mix
Tara on Oct 13th 2011
We really do try to eat healthy. But we indulge occasionally in some festive treats that are family traditions. I’ve made this Autumn Mix for years. It can be varied to suit your own taste. The peanuts provide some protein and the raisins some fiber. The M&M’s and Brach’s candy corn are only good for […]
SpookTacular S’mores
Tara on Oct 10th 2011
Are you a teacher who needs treat ideas for the fall? Are you a fan of S’mores like we are? If you answered YES then Spook-Tacular S’mores can be individually packaged and ready for a fall party or to hand out to any little spooks who ring your doorbell in search of sugary loot! I […]
