***Want to know what fruits and veggies are in season this fall??? Here is a complete list.
Ooh. Ooh. And pomegranates are back…and cheaper than last year! They are on sale for $1.25 each at my store this week. I’ll post a “how to” vlog this week! They are filled with powerful antioxidents. The seeds are great to munch on…and are even better mixed into a smoothie! More details coming soon.

Can’t wait to see what the slow cooker special is! I just made pulled bbq pork in my crockpot, which my non-meat eating daughter said was delicious! Gotta love when that happens! 😀
Yes, pomegranates are ready now. I just harvested my 4 trees and have well over 500 pomegranates. I make pomegranated jelly every year for Christmas. This year I am also making Pomegrante-Blueberry and Pomegranate-Blackberry jams. SOOO Good. Thanks to my friends who picked wild berries while on their vacation. Enjoy them while they are here, they go too fast.
@Angie,
WOW! You will be quite busy with those pomegranates! And the jams sound lovely! Enjoy them!!!
Could you share your recipe for Pumpkin Pancakes? They sound very good!
@Denise,
I’ll see if I can squeeze the pumpkin pancake recipe in soon!
My pomegranates are almost ready. They are in semi-shade, so they are taking a little longer than others in town, but we are looking forward to them.
