Recipes Galore!

or maybe just one for starters.... Since I am relatively new to this blogging thing, and neither do I have the time nor the patience to take step by step photos, you just get this nice finished product.

Squash Bread

(sounds real appetizing, right?)

Dissolve 1 pkg. yeast in 1/2 cup warm water.

Add 2 Tbls. Molasses

1 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 cup mashed buttercup squash

2 cups flour

Mix well.

Add 1 more cup flour

(if using a kitchen aid, switch to dough hook now.)

"Knead" for approx. 5 min. adding additional flour 1/4 cup at a time until no longer sticky.

Place dough in greased bowl and rise for approx. 1 hour until doubled.

Then punch down and shape into loaf, place in greased loaf pan and let rise for another hour.

Then bake at 400 degrees for 25-30 minutes!

(makes 1 loaf)

I love this recipe because it's so fall-ish. You can see that the bread turns out kind of orange and it's great with just butter or add pumpkin butter. You can use it for toast, sandwhiches or just sliced right off the loaf. I can't keep this around the house. We have a cut loaf in the fridge and Sam made two more today and he already cut one of the new ones! Go figure!

It's really easy to make. I hope you enjoy it! If you try it!!!

Date Night

Some really good friends of ours have been telling us over and over that they want to watch Gabe so the we can have a date night and it never really worked out till this past Tuesday! And what a fun date night it was! We were going to go to the opening of an art show in town, but didn't make it because, suprise! we were running late!

So we picked up our Johnny Carino's to-go and headed back home to load on the canoe! It was the perfect fall evening. All day it had been around 80 degrees and what a wonderful way to end up the evening. Didn't get too many pictures, but I am going to invite you along on our date, via video!




It was such a beautiful evening!

And Sam suprised me with a delicious dessert!



This is how it looked when we finished up!

Thanks for the awesome date, Love of my life. Thanks for watching the Gabe man, Mike and Jen.

Here we go....

Today, I was on the phone to my mom and thought Gabe was being especially good for the length of our conversation and the rate at which he should have been hungry and tired. So I hung up with her and walked around the corner, this is what I saw.

Of course, Gabe was in the middle of it!

FILTHY!

Sorry about the finger, was trying to snap the picture before he tracked dirt EVERYWHERE and caught up to me!

What can I say about that face? Nevermind that I had to spend the next 20 minutes cleaning him and his mess up!

Welcome to the wonderful world of Toddlerhood!

S2 Photography at it again!

Here is another family's pictures we squeezed in before Fall left us for good. Well, I might be a little dramatic there, it hasn't left us FOR GOOD, per say.... One good wind and most of the leaves are gone, but we had a great time out with these guys and I hope they like their pictues.

Squeezing in a couple more sessions before the Tundra has us holed up for the winter! So keep on the look out for more viewing pleasure....

I hear the little man up and awake from his nap, so I'd better go check on him!

Working hard in the Tundra,

Fall Fun

Not too much I can say here!

More videos....

My computer uploads these pretty fast, so here are some more from yesterday!

And here is more bath time fun, except Gabe did just like kids do - smiling and laughing and talking and then as soon as the camera goes on.......well...... boring!!!!

And here we have my main squeeze, Sam the Man!!! Today is our Papa's Pumpkin Patch Potluck time-o-fun! So here's my cowboy, all ready and dressed to lead the games and have a blast! How about that - it hasn't even started yet, and you see him here, first!!! By the way, that's our pond in the background, Aunt Gayle. Looking a bit shabby right now but we like it!!!

Well, I'm making a chicken casserole and Mom's Bread pudding. As soon as that comes out, I'll get you the recipe, because I hate bread pudding, but this, why this would even make the Pioneer Woman's heart beat a little faster! (Even though it doesn't call for butter, I'm sure you could throw a bit on the side!!!)

Livin' up the Fall in the Tundra,

Much needed updated videos!

For your viewing pleasure....
