I’m continuing my pumpkin junkie posts with another pumpkin recipe, this one for a spicy, savory Pumpkin Soup! Most pumpkin soups are sweet, but this one isn’t, which is great if you don’t want sweet for your main course. Adjust the amount of hot sauce and chili powder depending on how much you can take Read More …
I believe I’ve mentioned before that I love pumpkins. Growing them, carving them, eating them! Oh, this time of year and pumpkins! Whether you like to carve pumpkins or cook their flesh into puree, you wind up with a lot of pumpkin seeds. You can save some to plant, but otherwise you’re mostly throwing them Read More …

I’ll confess that I love a hot lunch. Just throwing a sandwich together at lunchtime fills my stomach, but doesn’t satisfy me as much as something warm from the stove. Last week, I needed to use up some potatoes that were going to go bad, and also use up some of the monster kale plant Read More …

I invented a soup! Hubby’s parents bought into their community garden this summer, so we’ve been reaping the benefits of their growth (which is great since I’ve been neglecting my garden and it’s been responding in kind.)
