  This grilled chicken has a delicious Italian flavor and the recipe is so easy. We just marinate the chicken for about 2 hours then on the grill until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. This chicken is great for to serve a crowd or the family on a week night meal.

  Welcome to our weekly meal planning for next week. It is so nice on the screen porch today. We are starting to do some fall gardening and transition into fall. I have checked my inventories in the freezer, cold bins, and pantry. I am looking at the weather and now I am ready to find some recipes and make my shopping list. We will have a great week of transition foods as we move out of summer into fall.

  When I think of Egg Custard, I think of pure comfort for the body and soul. The custard is smooth and silky with a wonderful fresh flavor and a hint of nutmeg. When I take my first bite of this pie, it takes me right back to my Grandmothers kitchen. It was always one of my favorites.

  Hello everyone, it is really good to be back after my short vacation. It is sure busy in our community, school has started.

  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.

Welcome to our end of the month party. At the last party of the month we feature our Top Ten Post with The Most Views from last weeks party. We had some really great post last week.
