Foods For Fall?

Chicken Wild Rice Soup....

Although it does not feel like Fall weather outside now it soon will be, and we will all need to get ready for it right????

When I feel the weather changing, I start to build up my soup stocks. Chicken, Beef, and Vegetable stocks are all the basics when making a good tasty soup base, it like a house's foundation, you need good Bones before you can guarantee your structure is not going to fall down on you!

What do you need to do, here is my basic list that I always, always have in my pantries so I can throw together a delicious soup into my crock pot and let the slow cooking take care of the rest.

Organic Carrots ( Fresh or Frozen)
Peas (Fresh or Frozen)
Green Beans (Fresh or Frozen)
Onions (Fresh or Freeze Dried)
Poultry Seasonings
Dried Mixed Veggies
Garlic Powder
Potatoes
Mushrooms
Lentils
Black Beans
Chili Beans
Meats:
Chicken (Fresh or Frozen
Beef (Fresh or Frozen
Fish (Fresh or Frozen)
Pork (Fresh or Frozen)

Sauces:
Chicken
Red Sauce
Alfredo

The combinations of any of these ingredients takes a creative mind and a skilled hand, but if you are neither than I suggest keeping it Simple, basic and simple is always good too, ,and everyone will still taste the difference between a can of soup opened up and served and your delicious Home Made Edition served to them from your home kitchen.

So take my Fall Challenge go into your kitchens People and make your families some Good Old Fashion Soup, you will be glad you did and your family will thank you all the way down to their empty bowls and the quiet you will hear around the table as they are enjoying Your Creation Tonight:)

So let the clocks be turned back to give us more time to spend with our families and create more delicious meals in our kitchens.

Pie Season....!

Pie season  is what makes Fall so wonderful...  There are so many good choices and so little time to get them all in....
I Love fruit pies especially, the flavors are so good and you can combine several fruits to add even more taste and texture.

This one pictured is a Apple & Peach pie, I felt like trying this combination for two reasons, one I had some over ripe peaches that were too good to waste and also some Pink Lady Apples that were given to me so I said why not combine them and see how it will taste I was not disappointed, I feel you need to mix it up once in a while and this was one of my mix ups....

Other combinations of fruits that go well together are Cherries and Raspberries, Blueberries and Blackberries, Strawberries and Raspberries.

So the next time you are deciding what to do about those leftover berries or other fruits, thinks pies and do some Mixing up of your own.

Fruit ,Bread and Eggs!!!

Quiches have always been a fav around my kitchen, because it is a one pan meal and you can add so many delicious ingredients to them.

I prefer mine to be a little sweet & salty at the same time, so adding bacon, cheese or feta, helps with that.
Now once you pick your ingredients then you add your seasonings to match your quiche your put this pan into the oven @ 350 for app. 30-40 minutes till a toothpick stick comes out clean. 

Serve this with sliced fruit and toast or bagel, add a beverage of choice and Whala you have a delicious healthy meal instead of fried, greasy or in a can. 
Bon Apetite!
