A fun day in the kitchen

Have you ever had one of those days where you started out to do one thing.. and 7 more things jumped onto you schedule???  Well that is what happened here today... I started out to make some nice rice pudding... and then made some seeds( as shown) We eat a lot of these seeds... in fact I try and always have some around... it makes a great snack and also they are perfect snacking food for us...  sunflower and Pumpkin seeds... with a little braggs amino acid on them for a nice salty taste... I do roast them in a little 100% real organic butter... rich and nice tasting...  
I put the seeds in a piece of pottery that our daughter gave us for our anniversary this year... WE LOVE IT...  it is just perfect for our seeds on the table...    

 The colors in the piece are just beautifulllllllll ... this picture is a little washed out... but not quite as dark as the one above...  anyway... she really did a GREAT job on these both... she just started to learn how to throw... and is really doing a super creative job...  oh yeah... check out the muffins...  I made them this morning too... blueberries that Glenn picked from out Rabbit Eye bushes needed to be used up... so muffins were calling to be made... now you have to realize that I don't use wheat at all... we have not used wheat for over 3 years now... maybe longer... can't honestly remember... but I know that it has been as least 3 years now...  
 
Here is the bowl again... with two smaller ones that her teacher made...  she bought them for us a few years ago... prior to starting to make her own...  I personally love hers better...  

 

 WE so enjoy the pottery no matter what... and it looks so very nice on our table... and we love the feel of it too.. 

 Here is my very own cup... with a flower on it... how perfect is that...  I love it... I made a nice huge pot of dandelion root tea today... and am enjoying cleaning out my tract and cooking...  love it.. 

 The tea bags had these really nice words on them... and they fit so perfectly with all that I was feeling...  
Peace, Savor, enjoy, dream, be heard, comfort... I experienced these all in a matter of an hour....  so very perfect for a glorious day...  

Now back to the muffins...  not using wheat... usually the muffins are flat looking... nothing ever sort of seems the same... but today I have conquered this and made really nice HIGH muffins... and they tasted GREAT... really 
GREAT.....  
 Oh do you see the 6 muffins in the back... they are sitting on a pottery plate that Heather Amy  

gave us a few years ago...  we use them every day of the week... unless we have company... then we have to use other plates...  but these are our very own personal plates... very special to us..  

So I did get creamy rice pudding made, muffins... and also a lovely dinner is on the way to reaching the table...  sweet potato fries are baking in the oven now... and we will enjoy a great zucchini noodle (raw) main course... with roasted red peppers, and some pickled okra...  of course I will have to make something with the Chanterelles ....(wild mushrooms)  too... we love them... and Glenn just walked in with a nice basket full of them..  

Hope that you have a GREAT day...  
I am still healing this silly sciatic problem.. .but am feeling so very much better...  never had one last this long... not a good thing at all..

Have a fun time, create no matter in which direction you need to ... but enjoy it all...  
Love, Light and Peace... Bonnie     

One of those days... Fall is here!!!!

Today has been one of those days that is very fulfilling and fun… I have totally enjoyed this day…  the past 6 weeks have been horrible here… we have had an infestation of MITES!!!  If you have ever had fleas… mites are 10 times worse… as you can’t see them at all… and when they BITE… it feels like a HUGE DRAGON taking a bite out of your flesh!!!  Not fun… they are in everything… I have done over 50 loads of wash in the past week… as it is one way to keep things going…  you get bit, you take your clothes off… put them into the washer… and go get a hot hot shower… and then clean clothes again… YIKES…  one day I had the same sweater on three times… and each time it had come out of the dryer…  Oh yes inbetween all this… our dryer broke!!!  And the main drain pipe that takes the water out from a little bathroom, WASHER and kitchen sink also got clogged…. WOW… sounds like a nightmare huh??? Well it was… 

But we are on the other side now… we are starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel… Glenn and I are still not in our bedroom… we are sleeping in a guest room.. on a smaller bed… and no curtains at the windows…  and it is loud with dogs barking all night long… and the sun!!!  coming up so early…  and all these funny things all night long.. when we are in our nice cozy bedroom down stairs it is cozy and dark, and QUIET!!!!  

Anyway… yesterday Glenn went out and dug up 20 bushel baskets of Sweet Potatoes… the first of 80 plus…  he has the next couple of weeks to harvest them, prior to a heavy frost coming in… 

He also harvest some Green Peppers, RED PEPPERS,  and okra… which he has been harvesting for the past 8 weeks now… our okra TREES are over 12 feet tall… and still producing quite a lot…  

 These peppers are now waiting to turn RED... they will do that in the warmth of the house... a few days and I will have to process all these into that yummy recipe that you will find on my GOOD EATING  blog...  

Anyway… I wanted to share with you some things… so please go to my cooking blog for the recipes…  

Here is another picture of the inside of a sweet potato... and the  red peppers...that I  roasted...  

Behind this you can see the large mason jars... (4 gallons in size ) that we make our kombucha and vinegars in...  

WE also grind a lot of things by hand too... 

Of course we love pickled okra too... YUMMMM  .

I hope that you will check out the recipes and let me know how you like them... there are some delicious cookies there too... oh so very good...  

Have a fun day... and I will talk to you all soon.. .
I am busy tangling in between too... so maybe tomorrow I will share some of the STRINGS I have been working on...  I even sat out side and got a little sun and tangled while the sun was still out!!!  LOVED it...  a mini vacation... 

Thanks for stopping by... and see you tomorrow... 

Love, Light and Peace...Bonnie
