No Knead Casserole Rye Bread ....

Good Morning dear ladies..

Hope all is well in your part of the world today..

We have had a very hectic week and thus I have not been able to blog.. Sorry about that....

Today is a cloudy and kind of rainy day but still warm.. We are certainly being blessed with a lovely Fall..

The rain yesterday has still left some beauty on the trees regardless of the weatherman's dire predictions... smile...

I was invited to speak at a church where friends of mine attend and to show them the no knead bread last night..

We had a lovely time and they were so gracious... I pray that some hearts were blessed as mine was with their kindness..

So.. with the no knead bread being made here to prepare I decided to try another one... And it turned out wonderful..

I thought you might like to try this one..

Hope you enjoy this recipe..

Thanks for dropping by my dears.. Could you please remember my Mom in prayer.. We took her to the hospital as her leg and foot is swollen so bad she can't even stand on it and is in constant pain..

They prescribed some pills and sent her home..

So we are praying all will be well..

God bless you sweet mamas and I look forward to hearing from you..

May God bless and keep you until next time..

Hugs..

A FALL DAY...

Hello everyone.. It is real Fall like here today..

The sun is shining and it is warm but you still know that Fall is in the air..

Terry brought home a ten pound bag of beets the other day so I decided that I should get at them..

We put them on to cook on top of the stove (I sometimes cook them in a roaster in the oven if there are a lot).. Then I just cook  them until they are tender..

I peeled them and they were already to do..

Beets are one of Terry's favorites but he is a diabetic and should not have very many.. Putting them up in a syrup is just asking for trouble.. smile..

So last year I decided to freeze some and see how they would turn out.. And they turned out wonderful...

We just heat them up and add butter and vinegar or I make a

 BEET SALAD..

I sometimes add purple onion and basil or just parsley and lemon..

Whatever..

I just thought you might like to know that you can freeze them..

I packed them in plastic bags and will put in a separte container so I can find them.. smile..

So much easier than canning them if you have freezer space..

I froze a couple other packages earlier but sweet hubby does not think we have enough yet...

Later, maybe..

It was also a lovely day to bake a loaf of

NO KNEAD BREAD

This time I left out the rosemary and just made a plain big loaf...

I also played around outside with some birdhouses..

Poor Terry is wanting to do some painting and wondering how he is supposed to paint around this stuff... grin..

I am sure where there is a will there will be a way.. right?

I repotted my plants and put them back into the sunroom..

I brought up a few herbs from the cottage to try and keep over the Winter..

The plants do so well outside all Summer while we are away and I don't need to worry about them getting watered as it is shady most of the day back there...

Sorry about the quality of the above pics..

And to go with the bread..

Homemade Chicken Soup ... perfect way to end a Fall day..

Hope you are all having a lovely one, too..

Thanks for the visit and welcome to the new readers..

So glad to meet you all.

Looking forward to hearing from you, too..

May God bless and keep you..

Hugs..
