Roasting Pumpkins & Winter Squash
With Fall quickly upon us and all the lovely pumpkins and squash available in the Harvest packs, I couldn’t resist roasting one. The process is simple, and the results are well worth the effort. No more canned pumpkin puree for me!
Popping Indian Corn
I absolutely love the way Indian corn looks – it’s colorful, shiny kernels make it excellent for decorating during fall nestled with some funky gourds and cute mini pumpkins. Only recently I found out that some of it is food grade (though some is not because it is treated to […]

Lovin’ Lentils
I am a seriously cheap, ad-watching, sale-hunting, clearance-rack scouring mom of four. My motto is “A penny saved is a BAD SALE!”. So, when I can find ground beef that is low in fat, high in fiber and protein, cholesterol free, grain-fed, easy to use, easy to store, and .80 […]
