Bear In The Pantry

07/10/2025

Happy Tuesday everyone! I'd like to get your thoughts on something. I'm seriously considering adding content creation with video, etc., back into my life which means revamping and relaunching Bear In The Pantry at some point. I need to figure out the best way to get what content I already have online at my BITP food blog moved over to a different platform (currently on WordPress but haven't logged in for many years), or figure out if it's even worth it to do a full blown food blog given social media reach, etc. Please share your thoughts in the comments, would love to hear what people think. Big hugs to you all ... hoping to bring more food and fun your way soon!

The bird is ready for roasting! YAY!!! 🦃

Been busy today! Roasted pumpkins, made purée, and then made pumpkin pie bars with homemade graham cracker crust. Also drying out pumpkin seeds to roast later. 🎃 Got the cranberry relish made and chilling in the fridge. Blanched green beans, and sautéed mushrooms and onions for homemade green bean casserole that will be put together tomorrow. Next on the list is to put together the sage sausage and apple dressing ... after I empty the dishwasher and clean up what little mess there is. THEN I need to tend to the bird that’s been brining since Monday. 🦃 If I feel up to it after that I’ll get the creamy mashed potato casserole put together. Oh, and I’m doing some holiday decorating too. Never a dull moment. 😊👍🏼

Happy Eve, everybody!!! Hope your day is going well so far! I’ve been busy since my feet hit the floor. First task was making a latte, then a very quick trip out the door to get rosemary and sage. Pumpkins have been roasted so I can make homemade pumpkin pie bars with a graham cracker crust and sweet roasted pumpkin seeds which I will roast tomorrow. Today will be filled with food prep so that tomorrow is as stress free as possible. UPDATE: we have pumpkin purée. 🦃🍁🍂🎃😊
