Ina Garten...I love her recipes. I have a few of her cookbooks.

Cauliflower Potato Soup will totally hit the spot when it’s REALLY cold, like -10 below outside. :)

Cauliflower is SO under-rated as a veg. It has like NO calories, other than the butter you add to it. ;)

Grandma Anita used to put a whole head of the stuff in her big pot and steam it until tender. Then she’d make a ‘Burnt Butter’ to put on top. *Smacks Lips*

Yeah, we were poor, but we were NEVER hungry. :)

Right now, the stock is done after simmering ALL DAY and I am picking over the chicken bones for meat I can give to the dogs as a treat.

Emma Jolene and Blackfoot got some time to run around in the exercise yard today - they’ll be hunkered in and sleeping through the storms tonight and tomorrow. I’m glad I moved them back to the kennel shed. No reason for us ALL to be rained on when it’s suppertime. ;)

Sunny Fall days ahead, Girls!

If I could convince you to grow ONE Winter Squash each season, I would wholeheartedly recommend 'Thema Sanders Sweet Potato Squash'. Beau planted it last season and while we had Eleventy-THOUSAND of them, anyone we shared them with just raved. They are SO much tastier than your average Acorn Squash and they store all winter. I currently have FIVE really nice ones growing in the Compost Pile from seeds and pulp that got dumped there last season. Free Food with no effort. Score!

P.S. Beau is STILL not allowed to grow Spaghetti Squash, since he fed one to the steer, and grazed the steer on the lawn and we had Eleventy-THOUSAND Spaghetti Squash growing IN THE LAWN when I moved out here and took over the mowing and landscaping of the house yard. It was yet another, 'WHAT HAVE I SIGNED UP FOR?' moment for sure. ;) He's so lucky he's handsome, LOL!
