Grillades and grits! Perfect for a rotten rainy Friday night. The aroma as it cooks (right now) is intoxicating.
An eggplant bharti . . . .And an Indian cabbage dish. I have to admit that I can't wait for "pasta week" to be over.
Quinces! I'm conquering them this Fall.
Well, the theme of the weekend is finishing up apples from apple picking last weekend! I want to make pork chops with apples and onions (from the Mad Hungry cookbook), and I'm probably going to make an apple crisp. And maybe apple chips! And at least a couple Apple Ginger Hot Toddies (from The Kitchn, no less)!
That orzo with roast veggies & ginger - I've been thinking about it all week!
Oh! I'd love for you guys to do some recipes featuring autumn fruit used in savory dishes (like, roasted chicken with grapes, etc...)
This weekend? I'm making one of my favorites...101 Cookbook's Borlotti Bean Mole. That stuff is pure, cool-weather gold. Can you get any better than squash and beans and chocolate and chiles? No way!
Granola, and heating up leftovers from yesterday (spaghetti with lots of farm veggies and hoppin' johns with farm veggies & andouille sausage). I'm going out to our csa farm today to pick broccoli and dry beans (cannelini, turtle and winter lima).
Spaghetti squash marinara, roasted veggies and maybe that orzo recipe. Yum! I also want to make some pumpkin flavored granola.
Apparently it's a chicken weekend here. Last night, in honour of it finally feeling sort of like fall in Toronto, I made cider-braised chicken (thighs and breasts) with carrots and pearl onions, and potato latkes on the side. Dessert was the first apple pie of the season. Dinner tonight will be coconut chicken soup with Cantonese-style egg noodles. Tomorrow I plan to try out a recipe for pear-buckwheat pancakes and a sweet potato and black bean hash with chipotles and red peppers.
This weekend I'm making 'Mexican Chicken Stew' from the BBC's Good Food website. I doubt the authenticity of this dish but it's tasty and satisfying and I have sour cream and guac to use up. There'll also be mashed potato with venison sausage in a red wine reduction. Keeping it simple and warm.
Having my friends over for my birthday tonight! I'm making a couple of chanterelle mushroom and leek galettes, a salad with finely shaved beets, carrots, and fennel, and brownies for dessert.
Just made peanut butter cookies from Orangette (Oct 6 post) - these are humble, modest, utterly good and extremely filling cookies. Only two and I'm stuffed.
Got lots of CSA veg to use up, so tonight will be roasted potatoes, beets, shrooms, green pepper, onion, and kielbasa. Might throw some cabbage in there if there's room in the pan. I also made rhubarb-blueberry freezer jam this afternoon. Tomorrow we'll have our usual full English breakfast, then it'll be salad and pizza for dinner: whole wheat crust, roasted eggplant and zuke, onion, green pepper, turkey pepperoni.
In the edition on fall fruit, could you please include a veggi recipe that uses quince as a main dish? I have a tree full of them and can only find recipes that also use meat. Thanks.
We're making slow cooker spinach-squash lasagna. Yesterday was a cranberry-apple pie that we devoured! A sweet potato hash is coming up in a few short hours. And many cups of tea, it's freezing!
