Summary
What a beautiful time of year. The sunrises are splendid, the sun feels so good coming through the windows, and the crisp air helps me get outside and get the projects done that I neglected all summer. As you begin the fall, remember to make time to put family first. One way to share family time is in the kitchen. As you work in the kitchen, talk with your children about the events of the day or future plans. With young children, help them with the process of cooking and observing the change that takes place with food items (using several ingredients to make something good.) With older children, cooking is a great way to soothe a hassled day or frustrating class. Then while the item is cooking or baking, if time allows, get outside and take a walk, work in the barn or sweep the garage. It's just the fact we all need to get fresh air and physical movement for at least 30 minutes, every day. Start a new family tradition by adding an after-dinner walk or Saturday hike in a park. These are great ways to make memories as a family and improve your health as well.
This is the time of year that I receive all kinds of calls concerning pumpkins. Here's some information I hope you will find useful. Pumpkins may be baked by cutting them into large pieces and placing them on a cookie sheet. Bake them at 350 degrees until tender. Remove the skin and mash the pumpkin with butter, salt and pepper to taste, and serve them as a vegetable or use in your favorite pumpkin recipe. Remember that there is a difference in field pumpkins and sugar or pie pumpkins; for best results, use a sugar pumpkin to make your favorite pumpkin pie recipe -- the others are too large and stringy.See the full content of this document
