Jean and I got talking about having one Wednesday of diabetic recipes a month.  How does that sound? The other three weeks will have other recipes.

Good Morning Everyone,
Hope you enjoy Jean's recipe this morning. Next week is the apple butter recipe that someone asked for.

If any of you have recipes you are looking for, please ask. Jean would see if she had them. Also, it gives her an idea of what kind of recipes you would like.

IF you get a chance to run over to Amish America today, Erik has some beautiful farm harvesting pictures on. I think you might enjoy them.

Thank you, Chris,

I will make note and tell Jean. She feels she is repeating herself. Now she will have some ideas.

Thank you for the compliments. I am glad you enjoy this blog.

Now that the Fall is on it's way, this looks like a great recipe for the cooler temperature. ~Doreen

Olive, Jean's Grandmother, just called and wanted to check her post for Monday. In my pictures, from February, are pictures of kitchen, household and a school item that she and I were going to put on here and never did. These are items that go way back to when she and I were kids. We will have to figure out when we can get that post on here. I am checking those pictures to see what else I have on there I forgot I had.
