A tiny bite of Autumn...

I stumbled upon this recipe at Joy The Baker. Let me tell you how delicious they are... I don't even think I can tell you without drooling.. The hint of pumpkin with the chocolate chips, it's the perfect combination & then add a tiny bit of powdered sugar on top..Urgh...I will never lose weight! My 2 year old could not stop eating them or saying " These a nummy mommy, nummy". I had a MOPS meeting today and decided to take them... they flew off the plate. Go, buy the ingredients, come home &  make them, NOW!!!! They are so moist! I made the batter the night before & then baked them in the morning! Easy!

So, head over to Joy The Baker and copy down the recipe and gobble them up. How great would it be to have one of these on everyone's plate on Thanksgiving.. Yummy!

You've Been.... Canned & Frozen in Time!

Last night my hubby and I were up until 2 am!!!! I did not realize that canning bread & butter pickles would take sooooo long. We ended up making salsa, bread & butter pickles, and starting sauerkraut. We feel so blessed to have had the opportunity to have all the wonderful food for fall & winter..

From our harvest at the farm last weekend, and friends giving us tomatoes and peppers they were not using..we ended up with....

24 pints of salsa, about 6 still to be made( everything homegrown out of many different gardens)
16 pints of bread & butter pickles( everything homegrown)
12 pints of sauerkraut( approx., this takes 5-6 weeks to ferment..., update then)
4 cups of pumpkin puree
16 cups of shredded zucchini
5 quart size freezer bags of green beans
14 quart size freezer bags of corn
5 quart size freezer bags of carrots
2 1/2 quarts size bags of green peppers
1 gallon size freezer bag of broccoli
roughly 15 cups of summer squash, eating it instead of freezing

I think we should be good for awhile.... I am Bushed!!!!
