Spaghetti Squash

Spaghetti Squash is one of my all-time favorite vegetables! Years ago, I read it could be substituted for pasta, and that it tasted just like spaghetti noodles. It doesn't. It is so much better! It kind of looks like spaghetti, but it's not going to fool anyone with either the looks or the texture. Boy,… Continue reading Spaghetti Squash

Essential Oil “Flu Shot in a Bottle”

This post was updated September 2019. The CDC says you should get a flu shot by the end of October, as it takes about two weeks after the vaccination for you to be protected through the coming flu season. However, it only protects against the 3 or 4 strains in the current vaccine. You may… Continue reading Essential Oil “Flu Shot in a Bottle”

Mary Carson Breckinridge – A Woman of Strength & Determination

Pumpkin Caramel Self-Saucing Pudding

I saw this recipe from one of my blogging buddies and just knew I had to share it! Just look at that ooey-gooey cake that makes it’s own sauce and topped with a scoop of ice cream. Oh, my! I’m drooling here….

If you are a fan of self-saucing puddings (desserts that form a sauce under a cake) and you love pumpkin, here is your new favourite dessert! This became a family favourite immediately.

Combine the dry ingredients listed below and stir them together.
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup sugar
2 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. ginger
1/2 tsp. nutmeg
1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. allspice
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. salt

Mix together:
1 cup pumpkin puree
1/4 cup oil
1 tsp. vanilla

Mix the pumpkin mixture into the dry ingredients. It will look like you don’t have enough liquid, but stick with it, you do. Mix only until combined. Spread this stiff batter into a greased 9″ round casserole. I imagine you can use other shapes too, but make sure your dish is 3-4 inches tall.

Sauce Starter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/8 tsp nutmeg
1 1/2 cups quite…
