What's In Season and How Can I Use It? That is the question that we address in our Food and Recipe Basket. Fall garden production is hardy here because we still have temperatures that allow production to continue. Although we still have some of our summer production available, some of the all time favorite fall products are ready to harvest in the month of October.  The apples, collards, and dried pinto beans have been abundant. I love all these fruits and vegetable's and look forward to making the recipes that we will be presenting to you for our October Food and Recipe Basket.

Hello everyone, I am looking at my September calendar with only 4 days left and wondering where September went. Fall has truly arrived and our meal plans will reflect that in a big way. I have checked my inventories for the pantry, freezers and cold bins. I don't think my shopping list will be that long this week. A short shopping list means I will be saving money this week and that's a good thing!

  Hello everyone and welcome to Full Plate Thursday, 762! This is the last week of the month which means we will be featuring our TOP TEN VIEWS from last weeks party. It is always so much fun to publish this post. It is a real indicator of just where our taste buds are for today! Come on in to the party and find your seat at the table. I can't wait to see what you will be sharing with us today!

  We are Snickerdoodle fans here at the cottage. These Pumpkin Snickerdoodle Bars are a seasonal favorite here. This is a very easy recipe to prepare and in no time these flavorful bars can be on your dessert table. 

  Meal planning is so much fun for me. I love getting out all of the seasonal recipes and searching for just the right one that fits our week. Of course the weather is always a consideration and we are having beautiful fall weather here in East Texas. My pallet is definitely ready for some fall comfort food.

  Welcome to Full Plate Thursday, 761, I am  so happy to see you here today! I can see from your links that the end of summer is here and the fall transition has taken place. My goodness we had some of the best food at our party last week, you will sure want to take the time to stop by these features that we have today. Come on in and find your place at the table it is going to a great party!

This is a delicious one pot dinner recipe. If you like the chicken and lemon flavor combination, then you will love the addition of these lemon flavored mini potatoes. Then we add some olives  to the mix and it is  a big hit here at the cottage. It has quickly become one of the favorites with family and friends.

  Hello friends, I am so happy to see each one of you here today. I always look forward to our Meal Planning time together. It brings me joy to be able to share with you our simple way of life with our garden to table recipes. 

  Hello everyone, it is so good to see you here today at Full Plate Thursday, 760! When I stop and think about that number it is a lot of Full Plate Thursday's through the last 15 years. 

  I love to call this my "busy day" Bar-B-Que Chicken recipe. This recipe has only 5 ingredients and is so easy to make. Just put the chicken in the slow cooker pour the ingredients over the chicken, place the lid on and let it slow cook. When you are ready to have dinner after a busy day, just fill your plate, it is delicious!

  I am on the screen porch this morning, preparing our meal plans for next week. It is such a beautiful morning to spend time with you as we plan. What fall foods do you enjoy on your meal plans for this transition time into fall. We have beautiful weather, so we will be doing some grilling and enjoying some fall vegetables. We are also moving into the big game season, and we always love those plans.

  Welcome to Full Plate Thursday, 759. I sure hope you had a great Labor Day Holiday. We had a great party here last week to kick off the weekend. Today we are sharing some features from that party and hope you enjoy them. We are moving quickly into the fall season and I think we are all ready for the seasonal change. Thanks so much for coming today, we can't wait to share what you are bringing to the party! 

  Welcome to the September Food & Recipe Basket. We bring the seasonal garden products and recipes to one basket. A basket full of ideas to enjoy a new season. We had heavy rains here this year and our harvest is low. We are grateful to live in an area where we have great Farmers Markets that bring us the harvest from other area's of the country.
