Welcome to Margie's Musings
Welcome to my BLOG! I write about whatever I want, mostly food and random stories I'm trying to write. I hope you enjoy it. In loving kindness....
Been awhile since I posted. Life in the Johnson household has been up and down, filled with health concerns for both me and my hubby. I've still been cooking, though, and have a backlog of recipes to post. May not get them all up til December. Darn as some will no longer be in season. This pie is good. My neighbor has a persimmon tree and she lives by the mailbox. She stands in wait with a bag full of persimmons. She is an older Asian woman with a gravelly voice. As I pass by while walking Annie, I say hello and she thrusts a bag of persimmons into my hands. I can't say no. So I take them home and we have them on our morning cereal, in salads and in this pie. I'm also toying with making jam. Later this week perhaps. Enjoy the pie!
Getting lots of broccoli this time of year. Here is a very nice salad to use some of it up. I like this recipe because it involves chopping, you know how I enjoy chopping. Besides that the taste is very good, the cranberries add a nice tart explosion in my mouth and the apple helps sweeten things up. The nuts add some protein and mellow out the flavors. It comes together quickly and I've kept it in the Frig for a couple days with no problem. Inspiration comes from Full Belly Farm recipes.
The dog was sick, she threw up. Being the good dog mommy that I am, I made her a sick tummy meal for the day. Boiled chicken and white rice. Luckily, I ended up with some leftover chicken and decided to make chicken salad sandwiches. I'm a sucker for mayo. I know, not good for me, but.... In my defense I usually use half mayo and half yogurt, I figure the yogurt cancels out the bad in the mayo. Hope I'm right. This makes enough for two hearty sandwiches, you can double it of course.
