Thanks to Lydia Bolen in the September/October 2013 issue of Metro Christian Living Magazine for this delicious recipe.

CAJUN BOILED PEANUTS

3 pounds of raw "green" peanuts

1/3 cup kosher salt

Water (enough to cover the peanuts plus 2 inches more)

1 package Louisiana shrimp and crab boil mix

Thoroughly rinse raw unshelled peanuts in cold water.

Place water, salt, seasoning packet, and peanuts in a large stockpot.  Bring to a low boil for 2 and 1/2 hours.  At this point, check for taste and tenderness.

Remove stockpot from heat.  Let peanuts soak for about 10 to 15 minutes.  Drain and refrigerate.

Fresh cut zinnias

These spray painted empty coffee/juice cans make great containers for these zinnias.

Fresh fall produce....onions, potatoes, squash, sweet potatoes, greens, and, of course, pumpkins!

More fresh produce....peppers, tomatoes, squash, and eggplant.

All of these are great for decorations around the home and yard.

And there's plenty of artwork!

There's still time to plant some herbs, chives, and onions for fall.
