This is a post in collaboration with Latina Bloggers Connect and WGBH. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

The kids and I have been keeping busy on our urban homestead. As the cooler weather turns to freezing temperatures overnight, the boys and I have had to pick over all of our remaining hot summer vegetables – mostly green tomatoes, tomatillos, peppers, and eggplants.

I’ve also been cutting large quantities of herbs to dry for the winter ahead.

There’s still a lot of work to be done on our homestead. We need to process 6 chickens, lay down fallen leaves and alfalfa in our garden areas, and tend to the front yard garden beds which are still producing beautiful root vegetables and greens.

With a lot of our time being spent outdoors in the cooler weather, its been nice to make comforting stews to enjoy when the work is done. With fresh picked carrots and beautiful radish tops, I made this traditional Spanish stew for my family last week – un potaje de garbanzos con calabaza y chorizo (a garbanzo, pumpkin, and Spanish chorizo stew).

What I adore about Spanish cooking is the simplicity in the meals.  Rich and nourishing with seasonal vegetables, they’ll warm you from within. Before I went to chopping away  vegetables for this fall stew, I made my children some hot chocolate to warm their tummies after tending to our gardens.

They were excited to drink it while watching the brand new full feature movie, Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest. A perfect combination, don’t ya think?

I think they were even more excited that they were able to watch this movie before its release this coming Monday on PBS. A perk for their mami being a Latina blogger 😉

PBS is the only tv station my children watch and of course Curious George is among their favorite shows.  They were super pumped to be able to OWN this dvd as their very own. They’ve watched it umpteenth times already.

It’s a super cute film.  Below is a little Synopsis.

Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest All-New Full-Length Movie. First-ever Curious George Halloween special airs on PBS KIDS, October 28. DVD available in stores now. Head to Renkins’ Farm and join Curious George as he searches for No Noggin in this special Halloween themed movie. Hang on to your hats and get ready for a spook-tacular good time, with Curious George. Autumn is here, bringing colorful leaves, hay rides, pumpkin patches, and the annual Boo Festival. After hearing about a legendary scarecrow who steals hats, Curious George and his friends set out to find him. By the time he gets to the festival, George realizes that it’s not always easy to pick the perfect pumpkin, and that winning the prize for Best Costume may be as difficult as catching No Noggin.

While my boys were warming themselves and watching Curious George: A Halloween Boo Fest, I finished the stew for a comforting end to our day.
