Dessert Season

Thanksgiving has come and gone and Christmas is drawing near.  Now my life is filled with desserts from near and far.  Oh, how to control the temptations?

Happy Popcorn

As it gets colder, the kids start to hang out inside more...then crave more snacks.  Thank goodness for popcorn.

Squash & Pumpkin

Within the last 24 hours I had the opportunity to enjoy two wonderful fall foods: squash and pumpkin.  Our neighbor shared her fabulous spicy squash soup and we roasted pumpkin seeds. I hadn't enjoyed the latter since we were kids.  I knew I had good memories for a reason.





I don't have the soup recipe, but for the pumpkin seeds I just tossed them in olive oil, salt and some chili- lime seasoning, then baked them for 15-20 minutes at 350 degrees.

Iowa!

Yes, I live in Iowa and love sharing this state's beauty.  I've been wanting to create an Iowa postcard for a long time...and finally, here it is!  You can find out more about them in my Etsy Shop.
