Flatout Good Veggie Pizza!





In a skillet with a tad of olive oil,
toast both sides of Flat-Out flat bread until crisp!


Cut and Saute Veggies:
Mushrooms,Onion,Swiss Chard and Zucchini
{You could also use a bit of garlic}


Oh the yummy smell of fresh garden veggies~
To your pizza {add tomato sauce if you wish} I did not
Then top with veggies and a bit of cheese!
I also added some fresh sniped herbs:
Parsley and Chives!


Pizza should be crisp.
Cut with pizza wheel and enjoy!

Golden Zucchini Fritters







                                                                Zucchini Fritters



2 small or 1 med zucchini (I used a golden zucc from my garden)

shred and use a towel to dry most or all the moister from the shreds

(about 2 cups)

To the shreds add:

1 teaspoon chopped garlic

1/2 cup bread crumbs (I used Italian) but you could use homemade dry bread crumbs with a pinch of Italian seasoning.

1/2 cup shredded Italian cheese blend

1egg

salt and pepper


To cook:

Heat up a few tablespoons of olive oil in the bottom of a large skillet.

Pat zucchini mixture into patties (they will be somewhat wet and mushy but should hold together) if they don't add some more bread crumbs.

Cook fritters until golden on first side then gently flip and cook the other side.

Plate up and sprinkle with a bit of cheese shreds and some fresh herbs (I used parsley and chives from my garden)

Dipping sauce:

I used Ranch dressing with pepper flakes sprinkled on top.

You could also use are marinara sauce or spaghetti sauce





I hope you all had a wonder summer!

Peace and Love,

Autumn Pumpkin Bisque~


Ingredients:

1 sweet potato (chopped and boiled)


1 small onion (chopped)


1/2 red bell pepper (chopped)


1 cup pumpkin (canned or homemade puree)


1 carrot (chopped)


1 celery stalk (chopped)


4 cups chicken stock (or veggie stock)


1 cup heavy cream


1 tablespoon poultry seasoning (I use a large freeze dried mix) sage,thyme,rosemary etc.


In a large stock pot saute chopped veggies in about 2T olive oil or butter until veggies are soft.


Add remaining ingredient except heavy cream and simmer for about 10 minutes.


With a hand blender, blend soup down until somewhat smooth or desired consistency.
(I like some chunks left)


Add heavy cream.......stir and serve!


I dished out mine with a grilled cheese sandwich on my homemade wheat bread!


This bisque would be a great Thanksgiving Day starter~


You could even serve it up in a large hollowed out pumpkin~boy that would be a show stopper!
Or give each guest their own small mini pumpkin filled with bisque!


Blessings and Happy Autumn~
