Apple Picking is a MUST DO Activity for Our Family Every Fall
Something happens to my soul when I step out on cool, crisp, sunny fall day knowing I am going to be with family outside and doing something fun and productive! The ride! Oh my, seeing all the early peaks of color atop the trees! I love to watch the little kids try and reach that impossibly high apple that they have their eyes and hearts set on! Something about the excitement seeing them pick out their pumpkins ... you just never know what they will pick up (small? oddly shaped? super sized?) it is so darn cute!
I get ambitious about baking an apple pie when I get home (I never did that exact day) yet each year I THINK I will:) how funny!
Here are some photos I am sharing you of Honey Pot Hill Orchards in Stow, MA
What a great place to visit! Let's now forget those FUN hay rides that we wait in line for a LONG time to get on but never disappointing!
This particular year my husband was on-call but that did not stop me! I went with my son and mother. My daughter is 24 years old, newly engaged and was working this Sunday. She was greatly missed and I KNOW she would have had me laughing SO hard the entire time! Love you Kayte!!!
Me Richard (my 14 year old son) and wonderful, best friend Patricia (my loving mother).
Richard and the Orchards
Nature's PURE beauty at its best
The photo above and below reminded me Ireland or Scotland, It was stunning farm just about a few miles from where we picked apples, the great thing about going for a ride like this is taking the time to STOP and take it all in...I pulled over on the side of the road for these photos:)
Below was a daring, typical NE Style Home with the most cute window boxes all decked out with orange pumpkins! Just LOVED it!
I don't DARE forget to mention the delicious Apple Cider Donuts that are made here and I HAD to have my mom STOP me from eating them ALL:) took some home to hubby and my dad:) Well, now I am hungry for the perfect snack! You guessed it! AN APPLE!!

LINGUICA 'N SHRIMP OVER PENNE
The flavors of the shrimp with the linguica (and that clam juice) all play off each other. Don't forget your ground pepper and you can top with your favorite, grated cheese!cut up two shallots, saute w/a bit of EVOO, cut up linguica very tiny and add in pan, slice up peppers (I used an orange bell pepper), saute some more, now chop up 2 cloves of garlic and add them, put in shrimp and mix all around, ADD 3 Tablespoons of butter ... add clam juice AND chicken or veggie broth bring to a boil and take off heat. Cook Penne to your liking and throw it over the pasta! Y U M!
Here it is with Penne!! So yummy!

heart healthy spaghetti with clams & corn (hint of a summer clambake Made EASY!).
First photo to the left is BETTER as that was from the inspiration photo:) you can see mine is different! Tasted GREAT!!!!!!! A HUGE HIT!!!
I am not sure but this may have come Cooking Light Magazine or Eating Well.
You can make this a number of ways and basically use what you have and like. Start with some olive oil in a pan, saute with garlic (chopped), shallots (or a red onion or both), red or green bell pepper--add some clam juice and chicken broth before anything really browns up on ya....grate some fresh corn or use some frozen and throw that in (best if you grill your fresh corn and use that--extra yummy!), now throw in your clams (try buy FRESH, whole clams for this recipe)...I boiled whole wheat pasta and threw that in...add lemon and parsley at the end--top with your favorite grated cheese--ENJOY this easy clambake!!!
Summer-Veggie Filled Frittata
A frittatta is not only easy to make but you can really control the calories and fat!
Use more egg whites than whole eggs, load it up with tons of good, seasonal veggies to use even less eggs
