Can You Eat Ornamental Indian Corn?

The hard, multicolored ears of corn that decorate tabletops and front doors around this time of year are, in theory, edible. If you cooked ornamental corn and ate it right off the cob, it would taste pretty bland, but it wouldn’t hurt you, according to Edith Munro, communications manager for the Iowa Corn Growers Association.

But isnt it just lovely for fall decorations ?

Happy October 1 ~

My goodness, it is the 1st of October, my hard to believe September is over.

In our neck of the woods, it is quite cool and the leaves are turning so slowly yet so quickly.

October gave a party;

The leaves by hundreds came-

The Chestnuts, Oaks, and Maples,

And leaves of every name.

The Sunshine spread a carpet,

And everything was grand,

Miss Weather led the dancing,

Professor Wind the band."

~George Cooper

I am so thankful for the simple things, the crisp cool air, the smell of my harvest candle burning, the quiet sounds in the morning, the beautiful yellow mums I bought this week.

Hoping that my family and friends have a lovely October month !

Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him.

This time of year, I love to use apples, yummy for the fall !

Apple Crisp ~

4 1/2 cups peeled, cored and sliced apples

2 teaspoons lemon juice

2 tablespoons water

1/2 cup honey

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

3/4 cup brown sugar

3/4 cup all-purpose flour

3/4 cup rolled oats

4 tablespoons butter

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Lightly grease a medium casserole dish.

Evenly spread the apple slices in the prepared dish.
In a small bowl, mix the lemon juice and water, and pour over the apples.
Drizzle apples with honey, and sprinkle with cinnamon.

In a bowl, mix the brown sugar, flour, oats, and butter until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Sprinkle over the apples.

Bake 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, until apples are tender and topping is lightly browned.
Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream !
Caramel apples~
Cut up apples and drizzle caramel over them, who doesn't love a caramel apple and this is much easier to eat !

"I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage with my books, my family and a few old friends,dining on simple bacon,and letting the world roll on as it liked,than to occupy the most splendid post,which any human power can give."

~ Thomas Jefferson ~

And the feast of harvest, the firstfruits of thy labors, which thou hast sown in the field: and the feast of ingathering, which is in the end of the year, when thou hast gathered in thy labors out of the field.

Exodus 23 : 16
