This
time of year Is just right for simple, cozy meals. The other morning
I tossed some leftover rice into the crockpot, along with a handful
of mixed vegetables, cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. I
sauted bite sized pieces of fresh chicken with a diced onion, then
added to the pot with oregano, coriander, and black pepper. At
suppertime, I served it with a topping of shredded cheese and a side
of corn muffins. For dessert: homemade apple pie, made with Jonagold
apples from a local orchard. YUM!
Even
though we've had some cool mornings, we're lucky to still have access
to end of season summer veggies. On the menu this week is a big BLT
with crisp bacon, lettuce and a slice of juicy Tennessee tomato. I can't quite
let go of summer just yet. After all, high temps are in the
80's and the hummingbirds are still here. It's time to enjoy the best of both seasons.

just like that, summer slipped into fall.” --Unknown
