Curried Sweet Potato, Carrot, and Apple Soup

Boy have I got a recipe for you today!! 

This one came courtesy of some leftover baked sweet potatoes and glazed carrots that needed to be used up. 

And of course, the ever-present quarts of home made chicken broth in my fridge. 

My 2020 Seed Order

I finally got around to doing a seed inventory, and it doesn't appear that I need to order any veggie seeds at all - I'm well stocked! 

However, recently Park Seed had a 10 for $10 sale, where select seed packets were on sale for just $1 each! 

You know I couldn't let that one go by, don't you?

Cozying Up For Winter

It's been brutally cold on the mountain top lately....yesterday I'm pretty sure my contact lenses froze to my eyeballs the second I stepped out the door. 

Those of you in warmer states probably don't understand, but we do get used to the frigid winters....and we learn to embrace winter on the mountain top.

Perfect Potato Leek Soup

'Tis the season on the mountain top for snow....and soup. Lots and lots of steaming bowls of soup, to warm a soul from the inside out. 

Recently, my little mountain top market had some gorgeous leeks on sale, which I snatched up in a hurry, intent on making one of my all time favorite soups....Potato Leek. 

Spring On My Mind

You know it's wayyyyyy too early for me to be even thinking of spring, don't you? 

After all, I haven't even taken down my Christmas tree yet! 

And let's face it, the mountain top doesn't really see spring until well into April. 

Meatloaf, Mastered

I have always loved a good meatloaf. Growing up, it was one of the meals my mom made so well, and I loved when it was on the menu. 

Pork chops? Not so much. Dad liked them very well done, and it was like trying to chew the sole off the bottom of my shoe. 

But meatloaf? That was a treat! 

Finding Your Inner Artist

First of all, I'd like to wish you all a happy New Year....and a happy New Decade!!  There was much sadness and loss in our family this past decade, so I'm not sad to put it behind me. Wishing you all much happiness in 2020! 

Now, I have something very cool to share with you all today....are you ready?
