Fall = Pumpkin which = Yummy Pumpkin Dip!!!

Enter Fall my very favorite season. There is something about the crisp fall air that makes me want to cook. I love fall flavors and one of my favorite is pumpkin - pumpkin cookies, pumpkin bread, pumpkin pie I love them all!!! Here we share with you a Yummy Pumpkin Flavored Dip. Perfect for Fall get togethers or later in the season take to family holiday gatherings.

Pumpkin Dip

2 - 8 oz packages of cream cheese

4 cups of Powdered Sugar

1/2 cup of Brown Sugar

1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Cinnamon and ginger to taste - I prefer lots of cinnamon and remember it will be a lot stronger once the spices cure/sit when you are chilling in the fridge so don't over do it.

1 15 oz. can of pumpkin

Cream Powdered Sugar, Brown Sugar and Cream Cheese together. Add vanilla, cinnamon, ginger and pumpkin. Beat well. Chill 30 minutes. Then serve with gingersnaps, graham crackers, apple or my favorite - eat it by the SPOONFULS!!!!

Chicken n Broccoli Casserole

This is one of my all time favorite casseroles and the kids love it. Great for Fall weather!! I serve with butter noodles and garlic bread - YUMMY!!! ENJOY - (I should have taken a picture pronto - but I enjoyed first so no picture!!)

2 Whole Chickens (boil and taken off the bone - shredded)
2 Bundles of Broccoli
1 Can of Mushrooms
2 Cans of Cream of Chicken Soup

Add can of mushrooms to chicken mixture. In a seperate bowl mix together your soup, mayo and lemon juice, then add the soup mixture to the chicken bowl and stir. Pour into a 9x13 baking dish.

Babies - - Babies - Babies - Chicks that is!!!

I just LOVE new baby chicks - they are all so cute, soft and just too sweet for words. We received 40 new baby chicks this past Monday here at Collyott Farms n Country Gifts. My 7 yr old son can be found sitting on the back porch singing to them - I'm sure this will help them lay better eggs in the months to come!! lol

Enjoy these pictures of our new babies - a combination of Rhode Island Reds, Barred Rocks and White Rocks - great eggs and fried chicken in the days to come.
