A Basket Full of Seasonal Foods and Recipes From  Garden To Table We have a great basket of seasonal foods and recipes to share with you today. We have had an amazing growing season here in our area giving us an abundant harvest to share. We have new  Raised Garden Beds First Harvest and Early Spring Blooms . Our recipes have been handed down though the generations of my family and are linked on this blog.

Welcome to our meal planning session, coming to you from the screen porch today. Such a beautiful  day to be in the outdoors and take a deep breath of fresh air. I have my recipes spread all over my table the decision is difficult because there are so many possibilities for the week. I can't wait to see what we come up with for next week!

  Greetings my friends, our meal planning session is early this week. A little meal planning early will help us all have more time to spend with our families as we celebrate this spiritual season of Easter. 

November is truly a food lovers season. We love looking in our food and recipe basket for the seasonal foods and recipes of November. Thanksgiving is our big holiday this month and a food lovers holiday!  We see pumpkins just about everywhere we go, they are in the markets, pumpkin patches, and front porches. I use them for decoration, but mostly love them in a delicious recipe on my table. Sweet Potatoes are one of the farmers crops here in our area and we see Sweet Potatoes in the farm stands, back of pick up trucks, and in our very own gardens. November is a great food month to enjoy!

Coming to you today from the screen porch and welcome to October. We are excited to be in the beginning of fall as we plan our meals for the next week. I sure am grateful that we have home grown and home canned vegetables on hand. I was at the local super market yesterday and some of the prices are out of sight. I don't know what they are in your area, but here they are out of sight. It makes it more important as we move along to plan our food and food dollars. It's going to be a great week with some yummy food!

  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.

  We are so excited to welcome you to our August Food and Recipe Basket. A true Garden to Table publication. August in Texas is extreme heat most of the time. The heat means a struggle to keep the garden alive to have any kind of harvest. We do have some plants that will sustain the Texas heat and they are the winners every year. This is our big canning season, so we get those big canners out of storage and fill them up for just one more year.

  What's In Season and How Do I Use It? J uly is here with its parades, fireworks and great fresh foods. Many of the foods that we have had in our basket for the past two months are still producing and can be found at many of the farmers markets.  Some of the recipes that I will share with you this month have been passed down in our family for generations, I hope you enjoy them.
