Gone is August, September arrives

 

         At last, summer days come to a close 

as a new season is near.





















Cooler days ahead

but coffee is bliss

to a new day ahead













 



Remember to take it easier on yourself.  It helps
 with the muse of creativity.  Breath in, breath out.
Your work of art or literary piece is carefully 
spun out from a spark.  Find that calm place to focus.






By evening, perhaps a dessert coffee after a comfort

meal




Let us not forget the highlights of fall

as spooky characters appear for

trick or treats

















Remember to step out of your

element and create!












As leaves change, take a drive or walk to

enjoy the scenery.  Take a break from the norm,

see the beauty of nature's brush of colors.








A time for fun




As September greats us,

keep looking ahead


Work hard, work true

on your project















Remember to take a rest
to recharge, regroup

 Peach Plum Cobbler

My almost 11-year-old loves making this dessert almost as much as she loves eating it! It’s so simple, comes together quickly, and is delicious served slightly warmed or cold straight from the fridge. Sweet peaches and tart plums are layered between tender cake-like batter, with a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar on top.

Yields a 9-inch (23 cm.) round pan.

Ingredients: 

6 ripe plums, washed and cut into small cubes

1 cup peach slices (fresh or frozen)

¾ cup sugar

1 cup flour

1 tsp. vanilla extract

½ tsp. baking powder

3 eggs

½ cup oil

Sugar and cinnamon for sprinkling

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 175°C (350°F). In a mixing bowl, whisk together sugar, flour, vanilla, baking powder, eggs, and oil until smooth. Spread half the batter into a greased 9 x 13-inch baking dish. Evenly scatter the plums and peach slices over the batter. Top with the remaining batter, then sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar. Bake for 45 minutes until golden and set. Serve warm or chilled.


Enjoy!

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Mango Slaw

Mango Slaw

This slaw is summer in a bowl – bright, juicy mango, crunchy cabbage, fresh herbs, and a zesty citrus dressing. I discovered it years ago when I was collecting recipes for a cookbook in honor of my mother’s 70th birthday, and my cousin Shulamis submitted this recipe. I love the colorful crunch and fun tropical twist. 

Light and colorful, it’s just as happy piled onto BBQ chicken as it is served for Shabbat lunch, pairing effortlessly with almost anything and bursting with fresh, tangy flavor.

Yields 6 servings.

Ingredients: 

800 gr. purple cabbage, shredded 

4 scallions, thinly sliced

1 chilled mango, peeled and sliced

½ cup roasted slivered almonds

1 Tbsp. grated lemon zest

Dressing:

¼ cup olive oil

¼ cup orange juice

1 or 2 Tbsp. honey (to taste)

½ tsp. salt

Dash of pepper

Directions:

Peel the chilled mango with a vegetable peeler, then shred, grate, or slice it into thin strips and place in a large bowl. Add the shredded cabbage, scallions, and lemon zest. 

For the dressing: In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, orange juice, honey, salt, and pepper. Taste the dressing and adjust the honey or orange juice to your liking. Refrigerate until ready to serve. 

Just before serving, add the roasted slivered almonds to the salad, pour on the dressing, and toss well.


Enjoy!
