Seasonal foods

Come Fall, there are certain foods that I always crave. I love winter squash of any kind, and pumpkin treats.. . . pumpkin cookies, pumpkin pancakes, pumpkin muffins.......and when Fall comes, I always crave Gingersnap cookies. Homemade, of course. The ones in the store are always hard as rocks, and I don't like crunchy or hard cookies. I love soft cookies! I have a recipe for Gingersnaps that is SOOOO good. They're easy to make - and it's a good thing, because they're gone almost as soon as they've been made!

Are there any "seasonal" foods that you love?

christmas cookies yuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuumy

Here we are in springtime, not in fall, but I love homemade cookies, and cakes, and jellies and preserves and ...PICKLES! :woohooo: I'm a really fan of pickles, also homemade. Anyone likes green tomatoes pickles? They are great! :PizzaNight:

Pumpkin anything just never really tickled my tsaste buds.

I was making some Gingersnaps yesterday, and thought I'd post the recipe here. It's an old recipe, but very, very good!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gingersnaps
2 c. flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. ginger
3/4 C. shortening
1 C. brown sugar
1 egg
4 T. molasses

Cream shortening, brown sugar, egg and molasses. Add flour, salt, soda, cloves, cinnamon and ginger. Mix well. Shape into balls about the size of a walnut. Roll in white sugar. Place on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 12 minutes.

They're so good! It's funny - when I was little, and my Mom was teaching me how to make these, I asked her how big to make the balls of dough. She'd always say "Oh, about the size of a walnut.". It drove me crazy! I wanted an exact SIZE - like in inches! LOL! So, one day, I decided to check the cookbook for the size . . . . . and doggonit! That stupid cookbook said "Shape into balls the size of walnuts". :Hahaha:

And what really makes it hard is if you have never seen a walnut and don't know its size!!! :haha:

Thanks for the recipe Savannah......IF I can find some spare time, I might whip up a batch......:unsure:

Thank you for sharing the receipe Savannah.

Since your Everyday Cookies were so good, I'll have to try your gingersnaps. I need to get some molasses though. I need molasses for an applebutter roll cake I've been wanting to try.

I love pumpkin things. I look forward to making pumpkin and cranberry baked goods in the fall. I need to find my pumpkin muffin recipe that has apples, raisin, and walnuts in them. They are so good.

Now that the weather is getting cooler, I like to make things like soup, or stew, or chili.

I am really looking forward to sweet potato pie on Thanksgiving.

Mmmmmm, sweet potato pie! I love that!

Vanesa, I just found a recipe for green tomato pickles, and it sounds delicious! Now to find some green tomatoes!

You'll love them, Savannah! :kitty:

Vanesa.

Your gingersnap recipe is great, Savannh. Thanks for sharing it. I'll be making another batch very soon.

I'm glad you like them!
