~Autumn Inspiration and Simple & Sweet Fridays #86~

I love this time of year, especially in the garden.
Decorating with rich seasonal shades.
Create the perfect centerpiece using flowers, pinecones and
~Cabbages~
Adding height makes it a stunning tablescape. 
A beautiful purple cabbage makes a delightful focal point!
Fresh picked flowers from the garden.


Surround your centerpiece with gourds, pumpkins and squashes.
Your table will have a luscious palette of Fall colors.
I finally tried a recipe I've been wanting to make.
~Ricotta Stuffed Squash Blossoms~
I harvested the blossoms from our garden.
The filling is ricotta, zest of lemons and zucchini.
The batter is flour and buttermilk.
It's a delicious Fall appetizer!
One more week till Halloween!!


Looking forward to all your creative things you've been working on this week!!

    Hi Jody, I love your decorations, and I really want to try the pumpkin blossoms! We have a monster pumpkin vine with only three pumpkins and plenty of blossoms, and I've been looking for a recipe like this. Thanks for hosting! Dee :)

    What a pretty centerpiece filled with autumn bounty! How did you insert the blossoms in the cabbage? Did you scoop out the inside of the cabbage? I have to try your idea sometime....looks so pretty:) Thanks for the squash flower recipe, they look absolutely delish! Thanks for hosting another wonderful party! Have a lovely weekend! Hugs, Poppy
