I have found yet another way to use sorghum molasses - flavored butter for winter squash, sweet potatoes, or carrots. If you don't want the extra brown sugar on your acorn squash this winter, it is a nice substitute.
I mix 1 cup softened organic butter, 1/2 cup sorghum molasses, dash of Worcestershire sauce, 2 Tbsp. of whiskey, and a pinch of salt (or to taste). Refrigerate. I found this best to mix with an electric mixer or hand beater.
New recipe I tried - Black-eyed pea salad. With a few jalapenos from our garden, and some of the our tomatoes, it was a quick and easy meal. I had just enough flat leaf parsley for it too.
This recipe made it from "pile to file." One recipe tried, phew!
It's from Woman's Day magazine. I hate to add links, but if you google the magazine and recipe, the recipe is online. This would be nice for group gatherings and potlucks. If you are lucky, the organic section of your store might carry the canned peas.
The weather has been cloudy and cool lately. I was almost tempted to heat up a mug of homemade hot chocolate. I might even do that today. Dinner tonight will be easy burritos, using up a few straggler tomatoes, and maybe the one straggler jalapeno pepper I picked. Pinto beans go in the crockpot with water, sauteed onions and garlic and cook all day. I don't add salt until 3/4 of the way through cooking time. Then I mash them for dinner. This will give me time to deep clean again today.
Who knew that walls, windows and doors could get so dirty over summer? Who knew magazines could pile up so high either? Who knew one could rack up 13,000 steps from just cleaning the house?

It was delicious!
I'll have to try this again since I'm all about more veggies/ complex carbs... I love a good bean salad!
Cleaning does rack up the steps! Go YOU!
I'm on a cleaning spree right now too. With all the kids gone back to school- I can really see which of the messes ARE NOT from the kiddos. ;)
Of course there are things that need doing after a slower paced summer.
I like your "pile to file" phrase. Boy, do I ever need to get busy with my cut out and saved to make someday recipes. Sometimes I wonder if I should just toss them all out and not have them hanging over my head. But what if I toss a recipe that is a fantastic winner and becomes a much asked for favorite? Ha! There's always that possibility! :o]
Have a good weekend.
God bless.
