Mountain Mama… Country Living
I got this recipe many years ago from an old granny lady at a farmers market. She was selling cushaw and we got to talking about making pies. She gave me this recipe from memory. That has always amazed me! It makes a really good pie. U can also use store bought canned pumkin puree.
Hello everyone! I hope you are all having a great day! Yesterday we went to Jessica’s and I showed the kids how to make stack cake. We had so much fun!
Everyone took a turn doing something. I don’t have a picture of Sam doing his part. Sorry Sam!
Just look how tall Daniel is!
The cake was delicious!
God bless!
We built our first fire today. Amazing! Today is October 29th. I don’t think I have ever been able to wait this long before building a fire.
We do have this little propane heater which we have used a couple of times but it really has been a mild fall so far. The fall colors have been beautiful!!
We also enjoyed some pumpkin carving.
Everyone did such a good job! I love how they are all unique!
I hope y’all have a wonderful day. God bless!
Thursday was wood moving day. The kids pitched in and helped Grace and I get it all moved to all house. With the help of our neighbor, we moved 5 pickup truck loads. Long day but …
We are ready for winter. Canning building is full of home canned goodies and wood shed is full. God bless!
I got this recipe from Jess. It is really good!
1 lb ground beef, 1 cup chopped onion, 1 tsp minced garlic, 1 and 1/2 cup macaroni noodles, 1 cup frozen peas, 1 cup frozen corn, 1 pint tomato juice, 1 to 2 cups stock, 1 tsp chili powder, 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp dried cilantro, salt and pepper to taste. May need to add more liquid to get to desired thickness. I usually add about 2 cups water.
This is a very good soup. When Jessica was a child, this was one of her favorite soups. I have changed it just a little bit. The original recipe did not call for corn.
I did a few things different 🤪 with this soup. I added a can of chicken. I feel any meat would work though. I used two cans of beans and left off the carrots. I used a half pint of my home canned salsa, a pint of home canned tomato juice and a small can of green chilies (medium heat). I did not use any celery. Seasonings I used were about 1 tsp cumin, chili powder, taco seasoning or fajita seasoning( or some of both) oregano, paprika, garlic powder,parsley and cilantro. I also added about 4 chicken bouillon cubes. Really just use whatever your heart tells you to use. It was really good. Made my biggest crockpot full.
One recipe yields about 1 qt. We used red jalapenos only. Also used half cup white vinegar and half cup apple cider vinegar.
Hot honey made from Sam’s recipe!
