Farm News of the Week


Molly Cornelison of Kountry Vittles writes:
With the fall season comes some wonderful treats, Country Apple Pie, Pecan Pie, Fall sugar cookies done up in all the wonderful colors of red, orange, purples and yellows. I have been busy doing up pumpkins in the last couple of days for all my wonderful pumpkin deserts the favored Pumpkin rolls, and pumpkin cookies and oh yes Let’s not forget the wonderful delicious smells of pumpkin pie. Then with Cooler weather comes home made yeast bread the perfect addition to soups and chili’s. All my baked goods are prepared fresh from scratch, why not enjoy something delicious as we enjoy the fall season.

Molly also has a late addition to the market: Ole Fashioned Yeast Bread, about which she says: made the way Grandma used to make. This is a twice risen bread and baked to perfection. Then lightly buttered on the outside while still warm.
