Pop Cornbread with Maple Syrup

Not a typo but turning popcorn into cornbread! Decided to give it a try after several successful popcorn harvest that we can not possibly eat it all as popped! Also have a lot of maple syrup so used that as a sweetener!

Grandma's Grasshopper Pie

A long time family favorite that I obtained from my Grandama. I have added notes to her recipie based on what I have learned over the decades I have been making this pie. Only change I have made is that I use gluten free cookies.

16 graham crackers or chocolate wafers crushed (just over a cup of crushed crackers)

or

12 whole chocolate sandwich cookies (Oreos) crushed (I always leave the frosting on the cookies as it will help them stick together).

3 tbsp melted butter
1/2 cup sugar

Mix crackers/wafers/cookies with melted butter and sugar.

First Batch of Maple Syrup

I spent the last few days concentrating really hard and end up with 3.75 gallons of Maple Syrup! Trees were tapped on March 13, 2022 and it took a few days before there was any flow, started out slowly but has been between 16-20 gallons per day the last few days!

Pop Corn Harvest

Lots of popcorn for watching movies this winter!

Happy Halloween!

Potato Harvest 2021

Well the potatoes are in! There were actually three other pails but one has already been eaten and I sold two!

The Odd Potato

Now that is one odd looking potato! Tasted good though!

The Russets for 2021 are Huge!

It looks like I am going to have some huge potatoes from the three rows of russets!
