Fun with Pumpkins

Well, it's been about a month since I've posted anything. September is always a super busy time. But, fall has come and with it delicious comfort foods.

Tonight I made chicken soup. Browned some chicken breast the tore it into pieces, added carots, celery, onions. Green beans, bell peppers, tomatoes (all from the garden). Add garlic. Then more garlic. Add rosemary, oregano and basil (also from the garden). So yummy. It was really delicious. Perfect fall food.

Then I made my crustless pumpkin pies from scratch using one of the blue pumpkins that Joel grew in our garden. It was lots of fun. And, it turned out especially delicious.

So many people are on the organic food kick for the health benefits. I could care less about that. I like home grown food because it TASTES so much better. Really and truly, much better. Plus, it's fun to tend to the garden and bring the stuff in to cook. I love it.
