November 1st already? I have a few things that I look forward to in November: Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Cyber Monday & my daughter’s birthday.

Black Friday is only 23 days away! Can you believe it? The best part about Black Friday for me is that I rarely even leave my house to shop. I shop from home in my pajamas!

Tips For November Bulb Planting

As I left Wal Mart the other day I notice they have a variety of bulbs for sale still. They caught my eye because I have a weakness for all things that bloom. I have to admit I was tempted to make a purchase. But trying to be conscious of my budget and not wanting to regret my purchase, I decided to wait and do some research before I came home with a bag full of bulbs.

When I got home my curiosity had gotten the best of me and I had to find out if it was still possible to plant spring bulbs this late in the year. With a little bit of research I found out it is still possible to plant bulbs but only because we have had such a warm fall. As long as the frost hasn’t penetrated the ground too deep it’s safe to plant these spring beauties. Here are a few tips for planting bulbs before the cold settles in.

Bulb Planting Tips

1. Dig holes as deep as indicated on the package. This is usually between 3 to 7 inches deep.
2. Mix the soil with peat moss and compost when preparing to place the bulb.
3. Add a small amount of slow release fertilizer.
4. Place bulbs with the point facing upward.
5. For better display, plant the bulbs in clusters and not in a single line.
6. Plant bulbs in containers for a Spring surprise. Wood, plastic and fiberglass are great options.

Today’s Freebie Roundup 11/1

Spiced Apple and Butternut Squash Soup

When I get the packet of coupons and recipes from my local grocery store, I’ll admit I usually grab out the coupons and throw the rest away without even a glance.  Last week I got a recipe that caught my eye, though, and I decided to give it a try.  It was easy and delicious!  My husband and I are big squash fans, but even my kids liked this one.

SPICED APPLE AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

1/4 C. Unsalted Butter

2 large Onions, diced

2 large Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored and diced

1 tsp. ground Nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground Allspice

1/2 tsp. ground Cinnamon

4 Butternut Squash, peeled, halved lengthwise with seeds removed, then diced into 1 inch cubes
3 qts. Chicken Stock

Salt and Pepper

Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat.  Add the diced onions and apples, and cook until tender, about 10 minutes.  Stir in the spices, cook for 1 minute, and then add the squash and chicken stock.  Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until the squash is tender, about 20-30 minutes.

Puree and serve.  Add additional stock if necessary, to desired thickness.  Season with salt and pepper.  Refrigerate leftovers.

My thoughts:

  • This was a pretty easy recipe, but be sure to chop all of the ingredients before you start.  I didn’t do this, thinking I could just do it as I went along.  Really, save yourself the time and trouble and just cut everything before you even turn on the stove.
  • This makes A LOT of soup.  One of the squash that I bought was quite huge, so I only used 3 and it made a ton.  If I make it again just for my family of 5, I would half the recipe.
  • It was really good the first time, but I kept thinking maybe it was missing something.  The next day when I ate it for leftovers, I heated it up really hot, then poured in some canned milk to cool it down – perfection!   Next time I make it, I will add some canned milk or half and half to the pot before serving.
  • If you don’t have an immersion blender, you will have to puree this in batches in a blender.  If you have an immersion blender (and really?  you should!) then just puree it right in the pot.

YUM!

Leftover Halloween Candy Traditions : The Switch Witch

Although I love candy, I have never really thought about it being in my home as much as I have in the past year. Last December my oldest son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. This has changed how we perceive food as a family. I was surprised to find out how healthy we ate after attending nutrition and wellness classes with my son. So my shopping routine has not changed so much but I have become very aware of the food I stock in my pantry.

On the day after Halloween I’m pondering how to rid my house of the goodies my children collected last night. I’m not opposed to candy and I don’t tell my diabetic son he can’t eat it. He’s a regular kid and likes his treats too. It just takes a lot more thought and timing when it comes to the food he puts into his mouth in order keep his blood sugars in a heathy range. (I’m sure all parents of diabetic children can relate.)

In keeping with the Halloween fun, I think I might start the tradition of the Switch Witch. After Halloween she comes to gather all of the uneaten candy. The kids can pick a few of their favorite candies and then pile the rest on the kitchen table. During the night the “ Switch Witch” will come and collect the candy. In exchange she will leave a non edible treat for them. I’m hoping this will help take the sting out of limiting the overall candy consumption in our home, especially for our younger children.

Please share your tips for handling leftover Halloween Candy in the comments below. 🙂
