Fall Apple Pecan Waffles

Posted on October 3, 2023 by HelenFern

You know it’s fall when all the apples start showing up at the farm stands and farmer’s markets. We have a nursery/farm near us that grows several varieties – and they are all so amazing. My favorite is honey crisp and they have a new varietal of it called, dragonfly. It’s amazing.

Different apples are good for different things. This delicious breakfast uses two different kinds – and they worked together fabulously!

Fall is the perfect time to create wonderful apple recipes. You can get apples straight from the farm that have no wax to clean off the skin – they are fresh and full of so many vitamins and minerals. And fall apples make amazing dishes!

Here is a great way to use some of these tasty fruits.

Freezing the Harvest

Posted on September 30, 2023 by HelenFern

I pulled out the squash plants and harvested the last of them and the green beans. I’ve been freezing what we don’t eat with each harvest. It’s the best way I know to keep the harvest for winter and not risk anything spoiling before we can eat it.
