Make a squash soup
I’m sure a lot of you have already been out picking pumpkins for Halloween. Pumpkins have a lot of cousins that are great to eat and not just for decoration. Each fall I try different recipes to try with things that are connected to the season and how to cook them. My favorite is acorn and spaghetti squash. You can use Spaghetti squash as a substitute for noodles. One thing is for sure, many of the winter squashes taste so good in soups.

Apple Pancake
It is apple time again and we are planning our annual fall trip to an apple orchard in our area. Last year we had picked a lot of apples that we turned into pies and applesauce and pumpkins for both pies and jack-o-lantern carving. The next morning as I was making breakfast surrounded by bushels of apples I decided to try to make a baked apple pancake.

Cupcakes for Haiti
On a chilly Saturday morning in January, on a small patch of lawn in front of a typical detached home in the east end of Toronto, $11,688.92 was raised for Haiti relief. What Susana Molinolo sold were just cupcakes, but what the people who bought them ate were sprinkled topped symbols of a community getting closer in the shadow of a disaster 1800 miles away in Haiti.

Tomato sauce (preserving tomatoes)
I have to admit that I was a little reluctant to make my own tomato sauce, but that is before I discovered there is tomato sauce and there is tomato sauce. After I tasted the first jar I became totally hooked and probably will never buy a jar of sauce from a store ever again.
Wedding cake with nature’s ingredients
My sister and her man went away to St. Petersburg, Russia to get married a few weeks ago and then had their wedding reception for friends and family by the sea in Norway. Both her bachelorette party and her wedding reception reminded me that our family must be very into to being outside. My sister’s bachelorette party was seaside at her friend’s cottage with al fresco dining and swimming in the ocean. And her wedding party had a similar theme.

Make some black currant syrup
Make some black currant syrup just like grandma use to make. Black currant syrup, commercially known as Ribena, can be served mixed with cold water in the summer or hot water in the winter for a black currant toddy. It is a fun activity to do with your kids and even more fun if you have been picking the black currant from the bushes in your garden.
