Pumpkin photo op at PA educational garden

 

 

Bring your little pumpkin spices to a photo op in a fun fall setting. It's free, and you'll likely learn a little something. The Grow With Me Community Garden could be considered a hidden gem, but if you drive around to the back of the Port Arthur Health Department, you'll find it! 

Broccoli, cauliflower, mustard greens and pumpkins are growing in the WIC garden behind the building at 5860 Ninth Avenue. Between colorful beds of herbs and veggies, the educational garden will feature QR codes designed to get you to nutritional info and recipes for healthy living. 

A garden is my favorite place to be and I enjoyed my lunch at a table in the shade. I eyed a barn setting among the pumpkins just waiting for costumed kids to pose. I even heard a rooster crowing nearby. 

Foodies love learning something new. Go to the City of Port Arthur Facebook page for info on gardening classes. Roots & Shoots sounds like fun. 

 

I’d eat it “Everiday” -  It’s ridiculous how much I love the red pepper chili sauce at Asian restaurants. I even drizzle it onto my empty plate while waiting for my order and create art by dragging my chopstick through the shiny red-orange oil. People have photographed my hot oil sunbursts.

Now you can get that kick from the debut line from the creator of Healthy-ish & Happy and the Clean-in-15™ program. She says Everiday Foods is rooted in a flavor-first philosophy that prioritizes care over convenience.

Can you handle the heat with these flavors?

House Red Chili Sauce with kaffir lime and pitted dates

Sambal Chili with galangal, lemongrass and turmeric

Garlic Chili with chili padi and coconut aminos

Mala Chili Crisp with sesame Sichuan Peppercorn and five spice

Makers say it is free from seed oils, gluten, dairy, and refined sugar. Instead it is created with extra-virgin olive oil and mouth-watering combos. I’m having this on popcorn, eggs, potatoes, veggies, rice and pasta. I love the heat and I must say, a little of these goes a long way. They are wonderfully intense.

Holiday hint: Mix these into dips for party spreads. everiday.us.
