It sounded sooo good!

Creamy White Chili. I was so excited.

Chicken
Onion
Chili peppers
White Beans
Oregano
Cumin
Garlic powder
S+P
Chicken Broth
Sour Cream
Heavy Cream

But I was sooo disappointed, hence no instructions or details. Maddy ate nearly half a can of beans, but once added to the soup, she wasn't interested. No one ate it.

Beef Brisket

I hate red meat and steaks. Gross! I like ground beef, but even the smell of a steak makes me want to hurl. However, I LOVE beef brisket! I've been craving it so I just finished it.

Beef Brisket
Olive Oil, enough to coat pan, add as needed.
5 large cloves of garlic
salt, pepper, oregano


Heat oil in a frying pan, add garlic. Generously sprinkle the meat with salt, pepper, and oregano. Get it nice and brown on both sides, cover and simmer for about 2 hours so it's nice a tender. Mmm, mmm, good!

New Blog

I found a new blog! A year of slow cooker recipes! The slow cooker is one of my best friends, so I'm excited to check out her archives. She even has a blog on how to make YOGURT in your crockpot! So good to know especially as we set out on our B&B adventures!!

Pumpkin Bread

I love Autumn! This is my favorite time of year. The slight chill in the air, lovely scenery, the excitement and anticipation of all the upcoming holidays, and the seasonal foods/fruits/veggies all make me happy.

I thought I'd try a scone recipe, pumpkin scones! Don't those sound good? However, after reading so many different variations and finally picking one, I noticed the surprising lack of pumpkin...only 1/2 a cup! So I looked at the others...same thing! What's the point? I'm sure they're tasty, but after dividing up the ingredients, you're basically just eating flour. So I went to a tried a true family favorite out of the Betty Crocker Cookbook...Pumpkin Bread! I omit the raisins and nuts and use butter rather than oil. It was so good! It always is!
