new flavor week

Hey there!!
Well I so love creating new combinations and flavors and this past week was no exception!!  While cooking down some fresh apples I had one of those moments..............hmmmmmmm maybe this wont be applesauce I thought to myself.  So threw in some frozen red rapsberries and let that simmer to thicken up, added just a touch of honey for sweetness and oh my goodness!!! can we say super yumminess!!! What an awesome combo!!! 
Originally I wanted to use this as maybe a pie or crisp filling but then Mary wanted to make some crumb bars and welllllllllllll it just fit to use this delish filling!!

The textrture of this butter oat cust and topping is so wonderully tasty!

 The bars were a huge hit at market sat~

one of the bars just had to be cut up for us to sample! LOL

Italian herbed pizza crusts resting

And...................... another super yummy and oh so delish flavor combo!!!  Bluebery almond!! Oh my word things just keep getting tastier round here!! 

Mary did up loaves and also the beautiful bundt cake. 

I so love how she did the nice thick almond glaze ontop "farmgirl bling" (yes I corrupted here into doing the bling thing at the kitchen" LOL)

and the sliced almonds on top look gorgeous!!  These were a huge hit and all sold very quickly at market sat!

Challah & fall pics

Oh I swear this has been the best fall we have had in years!!! The trees even though they have gone thru a terrible year between our early warm weather then freezing after they started with leaves, then the severe drought and now excessive amounts of rain they have given us the most beautiful color show!!!
I cant stop taking pics!  Everyday it just gets prettier outside!!

Yesterday Mary and I had a busy day getting ready for markets this week.  Wed=100 mile market in Kalamazoo and thurs=Allegan market (last one of the season) 

My glazed pistachio bread loaves were setting up

I bought some great red swiss chard at market so made chard rolls with a vegetable and rice filling forgot to take pics of them packaged.

personal size pumpkin bread pudding with cinnamon sauce.  Mary had a great idea to bake some in our jumbo muffin pans and they turned out super!!

here they are waiting for the cups of sauce to go in with them 

and we made cheddar topped foccacia (which by the way is delish grilled with more cheese for a cheesey grilled sandwich!! yummo!

cut up for sandwiches

and our drive near the farmstand looked so pretty.  The leaves were gracefully falling from the trees it was almost magical outside.  I couldnt snap a perfect pic to show them flowing to the ground

hubby's new toy! 

Challah bread loaves  LOVE the way the braided loaves look!  Some are topped with organic poppy seed and sesame seeds just for fun=)

A look at the drive towards the barn and coop

and this little maple tree is just glowing!! So gorgeous!! I truly feel blessed to have seen such magnificent colors!!

I am off to the kitchen to finish things up and package the cookies for market this afternoon.

Hope yall have a wonderful day.  Today and tomorrow are gonna be in the 70s here again and only a very slight possibility for rain! woo hoo!! kind of sick of rain lately!!

Hope yall have as great a day as we are gonna in your neck of the country!!
