blueberry maple syrup oatmeal

cook your oatmeal, when there is still a couple minutes of cooking time left, dump in a handfull of dried blueberries. when it is all done add maple syrup as a sweetner.

freeze your basil

i had extra basil and my plant was not looking too happy, so i figured i would try freezing it. they sell the cubes in the store so why not. i followed the instructions from kaylyn's kitchen. i used ice cube trays rather than plastic containers. when they are done freezing i will put them in a ziploc and label them. don't want to mix them up with the baby food cubes.

more squash

more warty squash!

sweet potato pie, mmmmm

i haven't had sweet potato pie and i have always wanted to, so i made some! i used the recipe from mrs. wilkes boarding house cookbook. i bought this cookbook when i went to savannah. since then she has come out with a newer book. i don't know if it has the sweet potato pie recipe in it, but i assume so. the only change i made to the recipe was it called for 1.5 cups of sweet potato and i used 2 cups. it was goooood!

stromboli and squash for dinner

used a martha recipe for the stromboli, but i made two different ones. veg-ajvar, mozzarella, fresh tomatoes, marinated artichokes, roasted red peppers. meat-salami, mozzarella, marinated artichokes, roasted red peppers. i used the wheat pizza dough from trader joe's.

*put foil on your cookie sheet, or else you will be scrubbing for days.

cut up some fresh squash from the garden! added some onion, salt, pepper and olive oil and cooked it in a pan.

popovers

following martha's recipe from her baking book.

i poured half the batter in a muffin pan to make plain ones to eat with jam. (i don't need no stinkin' popover pan, silly martha) i also had some chives and cut those up for the second half of the batter. just a note-don't overcook the popovers, not as tasty.
