Great for gardens. Please call 828-447- 0652. with M.A. ANDREWS There's no good excuse for not baking. This week I'm going to the kitchen and bake some homemade breads. Cream of Wheat Bread Of all the places to find some great recipes, I did so in Sunshine Elementary Schools "Cooking With Sunshine, Volume II" cookbook. The first recipe I'm going to make is terrific! MARGARET MODE gives us a recipe that is good for diabetics. They can substitute it for cornbread. Regardless, I like it for just being good. I never had head of it before and once I tried it, I was sold. I'm making her Cream Of Wheat Bread. 1 cup Cream of Wheat, 3/4 cup self-rising flour; 1 teaspoon baking powder; 1 tablespoon mayon- naise; 1 cup milk. Put all ingredients in a bowl; mix well. Grease pan. Bake at 475º until brown. How easy is this? Go ahead, bake yourself a surprise! Anna's Cornbread If you like a moist and hearty cornbread, SUSIE KING has a fabulous treat. Here is her recipe for Anna's Cornbread. 1 tablespoon shortening or Pam spray; 1 cup self-rising cornmeal; 1 8-ounce can cream style corn; 1 cup sour cream; 1/4 cup oil; 2 eggs. Put cornbread skillet in oven with 1 table- spoon shortening to get hot or spray a 9 x 9 inch casserole dish with Pam. Combine all ingredients (cornbread, corn, sour cream, oil and eggs). Bake for 20 minutes at 425º. Simple enough. Banana Nut Bread Where would be when baking if we didn't make some Banana Nut Bread. I chose BELINDA VAN DYKE'S recipe for this week. If you want to just make plain banana bread, just leave out the nuts. 1 stick margarine (of course, I used butter); 1 cup sugar; 2 whole eggs; 3 or 4 ripe bananas; 2 cups self rising flour; 1/2 cup chopped nuts, your choice. Mix all ingredients well after you have melted the butter and mashed the bananas. Bake until brown, about 25-30 minutes or until cake tester comes out clean. Bake at 350º. Time baking is dependent on whether you are making muffins or a loaf. (loaf is usually longer). Pancakes Believe it or not, I often get requests for a pancake recipe. With this in mind, I am going to make some of BECKY CARSON'S pancakes. I think I'll have them tonight for dinner. 2 eggs; 2 cups buttermilk; 4 tablespoons oil; 2 cups all-purpose flour; 2 tablespoons baking powder; 1 teaspoon salt; 2 tablespoons sugar. Combine eggs, buttermilk and oil, mixing well. Stir together flour, baking pow- der, salt and sugar. Stir into liquid mixture. Spoon onto hot greased griddle and turn when bubbly. A good choice is to serve these with pure maple syrup. However, I serve mine with my hot, homemade peach butter. Yum! Pancakes dripping with butter and topped with the peach butter. Wow! Get in the kitchen and show the love! See you next week. Meanwhile make something homemade and share. Some of the best cooks in the world are in Rutherford County and our nearby neighbors!

Another hot summer is drawing to a close. This does not have to mean though, that thriving gardens must to fade into blissful memories. Even as temperatures start to drop, cold-weather crops can extend the harvest well into the fall months. A delicious fresh spinach salad would blend beautifully with a hearty squash or pumpkin soup after a cool fall day spent raking leaves or hiking through the woods. Plant crops to use in creative recipes, and feed your family from the garden all autumn long. * Plants with shorter and cooler growing seasons thrive in the fall months. Consider setting aside a weekend for the entire family to get outside and plant some beans, peas and salad greens like lettuce, kale and spinach. Check out the region's average date for a hard frost, and calculate back the weeks needed to successfully grow a full late-season crop. * Rotate plant location. For example, if peas were planted in the spring in one section of the garden, don't plant them in the same location for the fall growing season. Instead, consider using that area of the garden for spinach this time around. Rotating crops like this will help the garden's soil to replace and retain valuable nutrients naturally. * Enhance the growth of plants with Miracle-Gro expand 'n GRO soil that contains plant food, allowing plants to thrive in both containers and gardens. When combined with water, soil permanently expands up to three times its original size to hold up to 50 percent more water than basic potting soils. And as a soil amendment, expand 'n GRO radically improves native soil conditions, whether sand or clay. For a great organic option, try using Miracle-Gro Organic Choice Potting Mix or Garden Soil to help keep plants strong and healthy all throughout the growing sea- son. * The garden needs food to thrive. Feed edibles, whether in an in-ground garden or in container pots, with Miracle-Gro Shake 'n Feed Tomato, Fruits & Vegetables Plant Food Plus Calcium. One application will feed plants for up to three months - which is plenty of time for the fall garden to produce a harvest of delicious vegetables - and contains calcium to help plants grow better quality, longer-lasting fruits and vegetables. * Keep an eye on plants as they grow, being certain to water daily and protect from the dangers of a hard frost. Monitor weather reports. If a hard frost is predicted in the area earlier than expected, cover the crops with blankets or plastic for the night, and uncover in the morning, once the threat of freezing has passed. * Harvest plants as they reach maturity. Sometimes a chilly night with a slight frost can enhance the fl avor if vegetables are picked during or immediately after the temperature drops. * Enjoy the bountiful harvest. Miracle-Gro and America's Test Kitchen have recipes at www.miracle-gro.com/GroYourOwn to explore. Try them all using your own freshly grown produce and see which recipes the family likes best. * Assign a family member to record the entire growing season through the winter frost, keeping track of what was planted, the date it was plant- ed, the fl avor of the vegetables harvested and even which recipes the family made and enjoyed with the produce. Use this information next year to better plan the fall garden and increase the amount of produce harvested. FARM & GAR- DEN FARM & GARDEN WANTED WELL COMPOSTED cow manure for cheap or free.
