Sweet Potato Pie

-

It is that time of year when we get the ovens hot and they stay that way til at least March. I love the smell of fresh baked goods and roasting vegetables and meats. This lovely pie is a seasonal gift my sister puts together for us every year with sweet potatoes straight from Missippi. My father in-law buys them for us every year, and we divy up some for pie some for candy yams, and some for just baking. As far asthe pies,everyone gets a whole pie of their own(Awesome), but we share them with one another and slowly indulge in them througout the fall and winter season. With Thanksgiving around the corner this pie will be on the table for all....... Or will it? It's been a long time since we have had pie. ;o)

This morning I woke up with Thanksgiving on my mind. Yes we are a few months out but the fall like chill the last couple of days had me craving turkey and ALL of the fixins. My sister sent me a simple, "don't do it!" message that inspired me to rethink a massive trip to the grocery store to search for cranberries and cubed bread. Now several hours later I've settled on Sauteed Chicken with onions and peppers over a bed of Quinoa with Steamed brocolli [fresh from the garden]. Today my family has been save from organizing chopping and cleaning for such a big meal. Next week you may be seeing the spread before the Big Spread. Happy Harvesting!

Mini Green House (1)

This is the BIG ~ Mini project we had been putting off due to weather and just pure plain busyness. In our exuberance and excitement over 70 degree weather we transplanted some seedlings too early and didn't heed the cool evening/morning temps nor our strict watering regimen. MY BAD!! **blush ~ blush** I thought it would work out better for me and my two cohorts (hubby and daughter) if we devised a system that could take full advantage of the not so unusual bipolar Minnesota warm then freezing weather without killing all our precious transplants in the process. So since we have ample garden and yard space we took on the task of a greenhouse. I always hear rave revues about this system and truthfully it has been working on a micro level wth the milk jugs so I figured why not? Take a look at the pictures and see for yourself the end result. DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO BUILD YOUR OWN COMING SOON.
