Pumpkin has made its first appearance in my kitchen. I have waited as long as I could, but no denying with 48 degree evenings, it’s fall. I know fall is beautiful but it’s what comes after I dread...winter 😫 The first pumpkin delight to come from my kitchen this fall is these pumpkin scones with maple glaze. The recipe is from @sallysbakeblog and they are delicious. The texture from using frozen butter and grating it into the flour was well worth the extra work. Blotting the pumpkin before mixing it into the wet ingredients was also another great tip. These scones were crumbly and flaky just like the recipe promised. Hope you had a great Sunday. #pumpkin #scones #sallysbakingaddiction #baking #fallbaking #homemade #baker #sundaybaking
Swipe to see where my girl is laying. These two are so different. The little guy follows the sun as it shines in the house and the old girl loves laying in the bathroom on the cool tile 🤷‍♀️ It is a spectacular day here in upstate NY. I am spending the morning in the kitchen and the afternoon outside in the sunshine. Hope you are having a great day. #dogsofinstagram #dogs #dogslife #labs #rescuedogs #sunnyday #lazysunday
Brrrr...it was so raw and chilly today in upstate NY. When I say I’m cold my husband loves to say wait till winter 😩 It was a perfect day for this oven baked chicken cacciatore. I browned the chicken, sautéed lots of red and yellow peppers, onions, fresh mushrooms, and loads of garlic. I added equal amounts of dry white wine and chicken broth and diced tomatoes. Baked it all in the oven covered for an hour then uncovered for 1/2 hour. Server it over penne with lots of fresh basil and parmigiano reggiano. Hubs kept saying yum as he ate lol. Hope you had a great Sunday. Lots of rain ☔️ coming our way. #chicken #cacciatore #ovenbakedmeals #yum #tasty #homecooking #homecookedmeal #foodie #food #chickencacciatore #tasty #instafood
We have grapes! Not enough for stomping 😂 and they are very small, but it’s still cool. We planted a couple of grape vines, one died, and one survived. It’s actually very happy. Hope you had a great day. Back to school is killing me but I’ll settle in. #grapes #growit #garden
Don’t do it....do not make this bread, unless you want to eat way more than you should! I have seen quite a few posts on making this no-knead bread and I have to say I was skeptical. Now I am a believer. I made a loaf using a recipe from @girl_versus_dough and it is delicious. So easy to make. It will go great with those winter soups and stews. You can prep it the night before and bake it the next day before dinner. You have been forewarned, if you like warm crusty bread, that is easy to make....do not make this bread😉 #nokneadbread #noknead #girlversusdough #homemade #homemadebread #yummy #homecooking #tasty #warmbread #dutchovenbread #yeastbread
Busy kitchen day today. I made a batch of balsamic glaze. We love this liquid gold on so many things but this time of the year we drizzle it all over those garden tomatoes. For every 1/2 cup of balsamic I use 3 tbsp of honey or brown sugar. Simmer 20-30 minutes until it is reduced by half, cool and refrigerate. I also made a batch of peach preserves. A wonderful taste of summer in the winter. Hope you had a great day. #balsamic #balsamicglaze #glaze #peach #peachpreserves#peachjam #jam #preserves #fruit
