Red berries in fall are looking like bright beads on the trees. Not every red berry is edible though, but there are some.
This year hawthorn berries are in abundance. The trees are full of them.
These berries can be made in jams and syrup as well in cordials qns elixis. While they are great for cardivascular health there are some cautions for its use. Please research for yourself for its uses.

Have you heard about hawthorn berries?

Pumpkin and winter squash season is here. The kitchen is filled with pumkin and pumkin spice fragrances and I notice our food has more yellow colors because of pumkin, butternut squash, acorn squash, and sweet potatoes.
I am not sure about you but I love to eat with seasons. These caratenoids and other flavanoids are adding yellow color to our every day meals and make them nourishing.

So far our favorites are butternut squash soup, roasted sweet potatoes with rosemary, and pumpkin oatmeal that could be turned into baked pumpkin oatmeal too.

What are your favorite fall vegetable recipes? Please share.

Last month has been hard and sad for my family. More than a week ago my father in law finished his fight and passed away and just this weekend we lost another dear family member. It has been sad time in this houshold and my husband's family households. Loss is hard and grief is not easy.
We are finally getting back to our schedules and daily rhythm but there are footprints left.

Because of all this I have been reaching for motherwort tincture. Our eating habits for the last month had been out of order and that has left with some gut issues. Motherwort is good bitter to help for it. Saddness in the heart and chest is real and heavy but even for that there is motherwort with its calming and relaxing properties. And let's be honest here with all the stress and everything else the hot flashes are terrible. My body is out of order with all those flashes at night and even during the day. Again, motherwort is great for that.
While I know it is not the ultimate answer for all the grief, it is something I reach for in my herbal cabinet during this time.

I know I may not get the help here but maybe there is someone who has Sedum Matrona (stonecrop). I am looking specifically for this one.
Maybe you know a place that could sell it locally.

Several people have asked me about Fire C***r again. Yes it is the time. Let's get it made so it would be ready for the time you need.

We will go through all the ingredients and their benefits and you can make the fire c***r as you would prefer.
If you haven't tried to make and use it, you should try because it is really powerful.

These rainy fall days invites me for more apples. But how about different kind of apples - crab apples?

They may be tart and bitter (and maybe sweeter after the first frost), but they can still be preserved.
Doesn't spiced pickled crabapples sound good?

I put the link to the recipe in the comments.
