A Bountiful Harvest

Hello everyone its that time again. So check it out.....this is my favorite time of year! I like  the Holidays especially Halloween and Thanksgiving! And I have plenty to be thankful for. Its is harvest time and the leaves are changing and turning vibrant bright fall colors. The days are that warm Indian summer weather. The nights are cool, crisp, and have a slight chill in the air. It is football season. It is the best time of year for baking and showing off our baking talents by cooking those fabulous Fall deserts such as apple pie, pumpkin bars,pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pies, banana bread, zuchini  bread and many other tasty treats. Also think of all the fun ways to cook all the different squashes and Fall vegetables. 
 
We harvest our gardens and many salsa's, pie fillings, jams, jellies, salads,chili sauce,relishes,you name it. We are having a fun cooking class in the neighborhood. A chef from chili's restaurant will be teaching the class. He will be making a variety of Fall dishes. He will be making an easy gravy that is to die for. He will be showing us all bout carving meat and doing stuff with the leftovers. He will make a great squash soup. I'm very excited to attend the class.
   
I am so grateful and thankful for my wonderful family. My grand kids keep me very busy.  I am most thankful for my wonderful life  and my bounty of blessings. I have a book and I wrote down all the things in there I am grateful for in my life and I read it over and over again each day. It has a lot of self helps and ideas in there to improve on myself. It really helps me a lot to be happy and keeps me on the right track in life! Many of you might want to make a grateful book and incorporate your own ideas in it. Its a great tool for this time of year and will remind you of all the things you have to be thankful and grateful for!  So let us all harvest our bounty of blessings this Holiday Season.......Beverly
