dinner plans

Every year, I plant a simple yard garden with my kids. They've grown a strong appreciation for home grown and delicious flavors with a variety of fruits and vegetables. This year's cherry tomatoes and mixed peppers are starting to display a strong harvest. I've had to spend some time tying up the long arching branches- coaching them in a safe direction to grow. It's starting to look like we will soon be planning our summer dinners around what's ready to be picked in the garden. A favorite family tradition.

I love baking (sweet) breads. I've baked for years. I have loaf pans of many assorted sizes. At the start of early fall, when technically where we live it still feels like summer, I always choose to bake this delicious bread called, Autumn Pear Bread. It has yummy pieces of ripe moist pear that is balanced nicely with a smooth textured bread and a faint hint of nutmeg. It's a yummy morning, noon or night kind of treat!
