Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop # 207

 

Howdy friends! Welcome back to the Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop!

Your place to share your best recipes, crafts, DIY projects, farm stories, farm animal tips, and vintage treasures and what ever else you fancy. 

I hope you are all settling in to fall. It's such a wonderful time of year for getting out and enjoying milder weather, beautiful scenery and delicious food that celebrates harvest season.

Where have we been the last month? I apologize for going missing. This farmgirl had her hands busy with all things flowers this year and somehow our little ole hop ended up at the bottom of the pile. It was a season of growth inside and out!

Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash with Craisins

It's about to get cold and dark out and we're gonna need each-other over the long winter months ahead. To spice things up in our kitchen, I promised myself I would make more " new recipes" rather than fall-back on my old stand-by meals. This week I made a delicious Apple Stuffed Acorn Squash with Craisins and boy was it yummy! I found the recipe online in MaryJanesFarm Recipe of the 

Week. You can read all about it in my Beach Farmgirl post here.

 What have you been cooking up now that the weather has a chill in it? Do tell!

My farmgirl co-hostess, Debbie and I have missed our hop so let's get to it!

Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop # 135

Dandelion House Fall Leaf Arrangement

Dear friends, Welcome back to another week of the Farmgirl Friday Blog Hop! 

Are you ready for Thanksgiving? If your laggin' in the preppin and plannin' you're in the right place! 

 You can bet your bottom dollar that The FRUGAL Farmgirl/Boy Friday Community of blogger's will have festive fall decorating crafts, yummy down-home recipes, and simple tips for doing it all on a budget! 

 Last weeks entries provided an entire Thanksgiving menu from the roasted Turkey all the way down to delicious deserts! It was quite a spread! Here are a few that got my mouth waterin'!

 Katie of Maple Grove shared the back story on how the Turkey got to be the main attraction for America's traditional Thanksgiving Dinner alongside her tips for how to Brine and Roast a Turkey and make perfect gravy from scratch! 

Candy C shared her homemade Oatmeal Honey Wheat Bread recipe. Perfect for Thanksgiving dinner and day after turkey sandwiches! Better make a few loaves!

City Boy Hens shared his recipe for Thanksgiving Harvest Apple Cake! Love the maple leaf stencil!

It's not all about the food during the holiday season... Creating Beauty, comfort and a peaceful home free of stress and negativity for your loved ones is paramount to successful holiday season. Not that I need to tell any of you that. But, I've got a few ideas of my own on the subject!

Here's a little teaser for ya! I've finished up a few things for Grandmas Room and I'm sharing it over at the MJF BEACH Farmgirl Blog!

We won't be hopping again until the day after Thanksgiving.

Heidi, Dolly, Debbie and I  are grateful for all you share with us each week and we can't wait to see what you have up your sleeves this week! 

Happy Thanksgiving Farmgirls and BOYS!

We love you!

Tasty Tuesday~ Mini Cherry Pie Cookie Bites

I know it's still very, very hot in some places so if you're still on strike from baking be sure to  bookmark this easy recipe for Mini Cherry Pie Cookies  for a " cooler " time. 

This weeks Tasty Tuesday recipe comes from Lisa's homestead kitchen/ Feathers in the Woods Blog. 

Lisa  shares her simple recipe for  re-creating  those tasteless mini cherry fruit bites which are so tempting at the store but oh so disappointing once you get them home and bite into one. They just never taste as good as something homemade do they?

And look at the difference in appearance. Lisa's homemade Mini Cherry Pie Cookie Bites look so much better than the packaged store-bought variety. 

Do I have your attention? Good... Now get on over to Lisa's blog for her fabulous tutorial!

 I'm thinking I'm gonna make some for desert tonight!
