Full Plate Thursday, 721

  Welcome to Full Plate Thursday, 721 it is really good to see you here today. We are enjoying a wonderful fall with all the colors on the trees and the farmers markets with pumpkins and other fall vegetables. There are so many fall festivals there just isn't enough time to attend them all. We had a great party here last week and we are featuring some of those awesome post today. I sure hope you will stop by those bloggers and say hello! We have a  couple of very important announcements this week so be sure and read them, you don't want to miss out! Thanks so much for coming to the party today and enjoy the party!


Thanksgiving Turkey Left Over Recipes

At the end of the feast day, we stand and access the leftovers and then decide what to do with them. Through the years we have developed some of our families favorite left over recipes for Thanksgiving. The first thing we do is debone the turkey and place in 3 cup portions, then bag them in freezer bags. We freeze the bags and they are ready for our recipe any time. Boil the bones with some vegetables and you will have an amazing broth that you can freeze for soups and stews. These are great cost savers for your food dollars.

Whats For Dinner Next Week, 11-3-24

Hello November and welcome to meal planning with me this week. I am able to be out on the screen porch with a sweater and have been loving the beautiful fall weather we are having. The seasons and the weather are always a gage for my meal plans as I consider myself to be a seasonal cook. That explains why we have so many garden to table recipes, gardeners tend to be seasonal cooks. We have a lot of rain coming this next week so I will be looking to some real cozy recipes and maybe a couple of surprises.

November Food & Recipe Basket: 2024

November is such a great time to use wonderful garden vegetables that are in season. Of course one of the first is Pumpkin then one of my favorites Sweet Potatoes. 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 trucks, and in our very own gardens. November is a great food month to enjoy!


Whats For Dinner Next Week, 10-27-24

Hello everyone, what a fun week to make meal plans. We have so many fun events coming up in our little community. There are festivals and trunk or treat opportunities in every corner of the community. It is a great time to fellowship with neighbors and friends. I don't want to spend a lot of time in the kitchen with so many places to go so I have pulled recipes that I feel will help me with that goal. My inventories in the barn, pantry and freezers are great today, so I won't have to spend a lot of time or money at the market place.

Ranch House Taco Soup

  Ranch House Taco Soup is a delicious soup that our family loves. My sister-in law gave me this recipe years ago and it has been one of our favorites. The soup is very easy to put together and is thick and hearty. We like to serve it with some shredded sharp cheddar cheese, and taco chips. If you should have left overs, it freezes well for up to 3 months.
