Southern Stroll

I’m decorating for Fall today! I thought I’d look back through some pictures from last year for some inspiration.

First stop, the porch. A red tablecloth and a few fall items are ready for us.

This beauty was blooming in the yard.

My rusty red fence kids playing tug-of-war

I love the pinkish red tint to these leaves - beautiful

Autumn Sedum - beautiful! - That same deep pinkish red shade.

Now I’m ready! Happy Pink Saturday!

Today’s Lagniappe: Crockpot Beef Bourguignon
A wonderful way to make a great meal!

• 1 lb. bacon, cooked, reserve grease
• 3 lbs. beef, cubed

• 1 1/2 cups red wine
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 2 ribs celery, sliced
• 2 carrots, diced
• 4 to 8 ounces sliced mushrooms
• 2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 bay leaf
• salt and pepper

Slowly cook bacon in large skillet; remove to crockpot. Dredge beef cubes in flour, brown in bacon fat. Transfer meat from skillet to crockpot. Saute vegetables and garlic in bacon fat; remove to crockpot. Gently stir beef, vegetables, bacon and wine. Add bay leaf and salt and pepper to taste. Cook on low 7 to 9 hours.
