I've had this on my to-do list for the entire summer, but I'm just now getting around to making it. And trying it.
Homemade mouth wash.

Swiss Chard Frittata and Fresh Herbs
I decided to whip up a swiss chard frittata, since I was already blanching some to freeze. It was my lunch, and Hubby's breakfast for the next day. It was kind of an "end of the season" and "just toss it in" kind of meal. I read up on chard and it's good for the heart, as well as fresh thyme. The eggs were topped with fresh chives and thyme. The recent rain and warmer days are providing fresh herbs. Mmm, was this tasty. Did you know thyme helps the body prevent heart attacks, strokes and coronary disease? I didn't. Until I read up on it.
However,

On the home front....
Although I don't have a photo of the soup, we recently enjoyed some crusty baked bread with some homemade potato leek soup. Our leeks did not do well, but we found an organic source this fall. Leeks provide cardiovascular support, and we love the soup. Homemade bread baking has resumed.
Two chairs now have a fresh coat of paint on them. One more job off the to-do list. Although, the wicker sofa remains to be painted. We had a few days in the lower 70's.

Random Tidbits ~ Fall Cleaning
I'm adding more chives to meals. Eggs are not just eggs anymore. I read that chives work like garlic does, when it comes to "heart" health. I'm adding red onions more often to meals then before as well.
Hubby's snack at work is a combination of non-gmo nuts - walnuts, pumpkin seeds, cashews and raisins. In moderation of course.

More Chutney ~ Sweet-Hot Caramelized Onions
Yesterday was a busy day again. I can see more of the kitchen table top, and we can actually sit and eat there. Some of us anyway. I had two crock pots going, while another batch of green tomato chutney (the one with raisins) simmered.
...and all while the laundry went on the line. It was still a dark, dreery, cold day. However, it was windy.
We tasted the chutney on the turkey breast that was cooking with sweet potatoes and onions in one crock pot. Delicious!

Pumpkin Butter ~ Random Tidbits
I had my own sous chef yesterday, so I got a lot done by 2pm. Hubby was my chopping helper and enjoyed it actually. I told him he needs to hurry up and retire. I kind of like having him at home.
I roasted the last two pumpkins for making pumpkin butter - delicious!!! One container for the fridge, and two went into the freezer.
We'll use it to top waffles, pancakes, oatmeal, biscuits, toast and more. Maybe use it in a dessert if the need arises.
