In 2007, the Seruntine family relocated to a secluded Nova Scotia homestead. They made it a point to live gently upon the land by growing and raising their own food, living in balance with the surrounding forest, and honoring Nature’s spirits. In return, the land and the spirits looked after them. Seasons of the Sacred Earth follows life deep in their woodland hollow through a magical year. It is a marvelous journey into a place where gardens grow by love and magic, where children romp through enchanted forests, where mystery beckons by light of fireflies. And living close to Nature, they discover an ancient truth: the magical and the mystical are never farther than Earth and Sky.
Pulled the kids out of school this week to enjoy the Pumpkin Festival in Circleville, Ohio. To say that pumpkins were everywhere is an understatement! I added pumpkin burgers, pretzels, and pizza to my list of bizarre foods I have seen there. It was a lovely fall day.
I actually twisted my ankle that morning… ironically while I carted a big pumpkin out to the compost bin. It felt okay to walk on all during the festival but by the time I got home I could barely walk and spent the next two days in bed, LOL.
My mom got one of these and was peeved that my kids refused to help her eat it… not even a bite. She insists I have the most bizarre kids ever.
Pumpkin Cream Elephant Ears does sound a little strange :)
Pumpkin Elephant Ears? hmmm, that’s new. I might be a little suspicious of that too :-) It is the season for pumpkins so I guess it’s ok to try anything once, right.
I love pumpkin. I tried a vegan pumpkin whoopee pie and it was amazing! I would definitely try a pumpkin cream elephant ear.
I love different pumpkin recipes! I had to laugh because my own daughters had been given an orange colored “Snowball” in their classroom treat bags. Snowballs are those gross balls of processed junk covered in colored coconut shavings that won’t rot or spoil after years and years unopened. Both of my daughters were intrigued by the shape and squishy bounce-back feel when holding the Snowball and thought they would be yummy. Neither one of them took another bite and I threw them away. I had to laugh because, despite the fact that there were no real food items that made up that concoction, they were not impressed and it made me feel good. I enjoy sharing healthy foods with my girls and we are huge raw fruit eaters. My oldest daughter takes her lunch every day and I always make sure she has several fresh fruit items. She has peers ask her what particular fruits are…..and most of these fruits are common grocery store fruits that I find in the organic section, like pairs and kiwi. She shares her fruit knowledge with her friends and fellow students and continues to bring new fruits each day in her lunch box.
