I love to curl up with a delicious bowl of soup, especially through the fall and winter months. This soup is great for anyone that has a busy life and needs a quick, warm and welcoming meal. The smokiness of the sausage mingles with the other ingredients and herbs to create the perfect, savory flavor.

Ok, I admit it, I’m a Fall Fanatic! It's my favorite season of the year without a doubt and nothing says fall to me like pumpkin bread. This particular recipe was introduced to our church community in the 1960s by our associate minister’s wife. My mother made this recipe so many times over the years, it’s naturally named "Mom’s pumpkin bread.” One of my fondest memories is sharing a piece (or two) with her whenever she baked it. Trust me, I have tried lots of pumpkin bread recipes, but this one is my absolute favorite. I know you will love it too.

Take yourself over to your local Farmer’s Market - pick up some heirloom tomatoes and make yourself a delicious, rustic galette!

Chicken, pork and beef oh my! It’s Kentucky Derby festival time, so let’s make some burgoo.

For quite some time, I’ve heard about Sally’s brownies from my son-in-law. Sally is his coworker at United Airlines Corporate Office in Chicago. Among her other talents, Sally has earned the title of official brownie maker for their office, and also for her family and friends. Whenever there’s an occasion at the office for any celebration, Sally makes her famous brownies.

This spoon bread is a true Kentucky original and I hope you enjoy this recipe as much as I do. If you ever have the opportunity to visit Berea, don’t miss a chance to experience the Boone Tavern Hotel and Restaurant!

In a small German town called Bensheim there is a restaurant called the Blauer Aff (Blue Monkey). Our friends are locals and they took us there for a very special dinner. The restaurant is delightful and I highly recommend it, if you’re ever in the area. They served me a thick and hearty pumpkin soup garnished with toasted pumpkin seeds floating on top with a side of warm, fresh bread. It was divine! I’ve tried to recreate it here for you and I hope you enjoy.

Apples, cinnamon, nutmeg and warm gooey pastry crust served with a side of ice cream or whipped cream - delicious! My best friend’s mother introduced me to this wonderful recipe and I’m delighted to share it with you.
