We were having leftover soup and rolls; due to how easy this recipe looked, and I had all the ingredients, I decided to add it to our lunch. These are rich and great with bread or crackers. Very easy and quick to create.




Of all the blueberry cookie recipes I’ve tried, these are a favorite and a keeper. I made these last year, and have blueberries in the fridge, so I’m making again this weekend. They are delicious, and even better after sitting overnight in a covered container, and with coffee.
Blueberry Oatmeal Cookies recipe from a vintage book. The Blueberry Council. 1977 is loaded with great recipes. There are so many I plan on creating.
I froze half of the dough – I scoop the balls on to a dish and flash freeze, after 15 minutes, drop them in to a labeled freezer bag – the label has cookie name, temp and time. This makes a lot
The house smells amazing.
My experience with these is, they are weather temperament. If it’s cool out, they hold a chunkier size after baking. Perfect for winter baking.
If it’s warm/hot out, they are flatter after baking. I prefer the chunkier state, so I refrigerate dough for about 30 minutes or longer before baking and don’t allow the house to be too warm while oven is on



Almost time to put a few orange pumpkins in here. Love this planter for these vines and adding fall colors like mums and pumpkins

Take a minute and enjoy
I recorded the sunrise this morning – Click on the photo to go to the video
I think the bird beside us was enjoying it as much as we were due to the beautiful song he sang to us.
How many of you stop and appreciate the amazing moments this earth provides? To watch this sunrise, and realize we are moving, while standing still, is mind blowing

Grilled Black Bean and Sweet Potato Quesadillas were made from a recipe I found in a Better Homes and Garden Ultimate Mexican 20011 magazine. The tomato soup was from jars of canned tomatoes a friend gave us from his garden. I want to share a bottle holder we inherited from grandma over 20 years ago. It holds her bottle of brandy which I use a bit of in my tomato soup.





These are delicious! I found this website last year with this recipe and had to make these due to our neighbor giving us quite a few zucchini. I made these again this year, and this time I added shredded carrots. This is a delicious recipe for using up the excess of squash we all have in our gardens.

Jim decided to stop by a local farmers stand, and buy 4 dozen eggs to support our locals.
I immediately pulled out the books. This is so delicious!
