A cinnamon spice fresh pear cake captures the Taste of Fall with its moist texture, chunky pears and flavorful cinnamon. I’ve reduced the fat by replacing the oil with healthy applesauce. What a delicious way to use this season’s pears!

Deep purple Concord grapes make a very flavorful homemade grape jelly. I’m sharing the lazy-cook’s way to make simple grape jelly without adding pectin. I’m even including the easiest way to preserve it longer-term by simple water-bath canning. Delicious, homemade and makes a great gift idea too.

Taco-meat stuffed bell peppers is a healthy and delicious twist to Taco Tuesday and are a Homestead favorite. A simple and fast low-carb meal idea for busy days, but still fancy enough for company!

I enjoy drinking hot tea when the weather turns cold. One of my favorite flavored herbal teas is made with the spearmint I grow right here on the Homestead. Mint tea!

Did you know that young, tender luffa is actually edible??!! Yep, it’s a delicious, tender, and surprisingly pest-free substitute for zucchini in the garden.
That’s right, if you harvest your young luffa when they’re only about 5” long they’re very similar in taste and texture to a zucchini squash. No, really!

Are you wondering what to do with that garden-fresh spaghetti squash? Make it into cheesy lasagna-style spaghetti squash.
RancherMan will happily eat his vegetables… if I serve it cheesy lasagna style!
