Autumn Harvest 2015

About an hour ago, I decided to take a few outdoor photos so you can see what we view daily.Β The majority of the food we consume comes straight from our garden. Which means our produce is fresh and organic.

A few days ago, I made a pumpkin curry. Currently, I have the seeds from that pumpkin drying in my Excalibur food dehydrator. I have no idea what I’ll make with this one? Perhaps a pumpkin pie or a pumpkin banana curry? We’ll see…

Today I’m canning. You are looking at some of the tomatoes that did not make it into my stockpot. I am canning marinara and pasta sauce.

I love eating string beans raw or lightly sauteed in a skillet.

I also love dry beans. I have an Excalibur food dehydrator; however, I’ve always preferred drying my beans outdoors. Afterwards, I shell the dried beans, set aside for storage, and prepare them (when needed) in my pressure cooker. I use the cooked beans in our meals.

Gardening. Sage. 10.21.15

We have an abundance of sage. I love its scent and enjoy adding it to a variety of dishes.

Here’s an up close and personal shot of one of our collard plants. Oh my they are so good. They make the perfect wrap and they are quite tasty in a stir fry.

Our woods. It’s a perfect place to hang out and reflect.

 

This is a picture of our woods. We live on four acres of land, about three acres is woods.

Is this a munchie post? It is in our household, since we mainly eat whole foods. Which simply means as close to the natural food source as possible. Because of that, I’m linking up to Midweek Munchies.
